Introduction

This project aims to help London boroughs design and consistently evaluate pilots of assistive technologies (AT) to help residents live more independently. This will support public sector staff to make evidence-based decisions about the role and effectiveness of different ATs and the different service patterns that enable them to deliver results.

Our work on this project began by creating a guide to designing and evaluating AT projects. LOTI is now exploring the potential of Assistive Technologies to support boroughs’ Covid response by supporting isolated individuals to live more independently.

AT for Covid Recovery

On the 21 and 23 September 2020, LOTI held two workshops that sought to explore systemic issues that prevent boroughs from using Assistive Technologies effectively and to identify specific actions we can take to resolve those issues.
