Cel A forum is held and an association of care provision organisations, care funding policy makers and technology suppliers created in order to promote the market needs and technology opportunities for the care of older people.The aim of this horizontal activity is to make suppliers of care services aware of the potential use of technology for the care of older people by building a forum for the bringing together of care provision organisations, care funding policy makers and technology suppliers. The purpose is to clarify the market needs and technology opportunities and create a European-wide association for maintaining this dialogue and promoting the awareness of technology for use in the care sector.Demographic changes are giving rise to a need of increasing urgency to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ambulatory and residential care of older people. However industries which can provide technological products economically are reluctant to develop products for the care sector unless the care sector can convince manufacturers that it is a market with major sales opportunities. However the social services organisations have little experience of technology and its potential to be able to determine how it can benefit them, fit into their organisations and ameliorate the care crisis.A TV quality video capturing the experiences of older users and service providers using state-of-the-art technology is made for presentation at the forum and outside, so as to avoid invading people's homes with large numbers of visitors.A Forum is held that includes suppliers of technology, customers for technology and users of technology to initiate an European-wide association for continuing the technology awareness dialogue between these actors in the care sector.Technical Approach : A survey is made to find the appropriate national organisations responsible for care provision and its funding and to identify the trials already taking place and the key players. A video story board is agreed and visits to the trial made and a video of two sites made. Focused workshop(s) are held to define scope and content of the forum and the association. The forum is organised, briefing packs published and the forum held with key speakers to attract members to the Association.Impact and Expected Results : The framework for setting up a European-wide association of Care Providers and Manufacturing Industry for promoting the awareness of technology for use in the care of older people. This should speed up the addressing of the Care Sector by Manufacturers with a consequent improvement in the quality of care for older people and containment of social care costs.
