UK company providing digital solutions for assisted living is looking for social care & services partners under license agreements

The most vulnerable members of society are disproportionately reliant on public services. Yet these are the people least likely to have access to the digital tools and skills that could help meet that demand. For those who don't have access to digital services, life is more expensive than it need be. They are charged a premium because they use pre-payment meters. They aren't always switched to the best fuel tariff. They pay to receive paper bills and aren't using the cheapest billing method. The only credit they can access costs more. And they pay a host of other premiums all related to where they live. Addressing the ‘poverty premium' saves the average disadvantaged household an estimated £490 a year on living costs. The UK company has built a solution that enhances people's digital inclusion starting from most essential services like healthcare provisions. The technology leverages rapid deployment and secure connectivity for video calling with providers across a wide range of services through bespoke apps. This provides a holistic view of the services utilised by the user, enabling synergies and optimisations at local level. The solution places a strong emphasis on fighting isolation, making it very easy for users to communicate with family and friends. Moreover, it integrates a community app with a messaging function that allows users to access public information through access to web, apps and other online resources. The community app includes interest groups and facilitates interactions among its members, enabling users to expand their social circle. Finally, aside from addressing the shortfalls of siloed social service provision, the company's platform builds digital literacy and boosts users' confidence. This has a direct correlation with improved mental and physical wellbeing as well as reduced social isolation.
