Embracing Innovation: How New Technology is Transforming The Care Sector

Zoe Olma

As the care sector progresses, the integration of technology is revolutionising how care is delivered, creating new opportunities for personalised and precise care plans. One notable transformation is occurring in domiciliary care, where the emphasis is increasingly on customising care to meet each individual's unique needs, preferences, and daily routines while making care management more efficient and profitable.

The government has strongly endorsed these advancements in the care sector. Currently, over 60% of care providers now use Digital Social Care Records (DSCRs), up from just 40%, with many more in the process of adopting the technology. This growing implementation reflects a widespread recognition of the critical role digital tools play in ensuring consistent, high-quality care. The government continues to champion initiatives that promote the integration of these technologies across the care sector.

Why should caregivers care about health tech?

Beyond enhancing personalisation, technology also creates greater collaboration among caregivers, family members, and healthcare professionals. The ability to share information in real-time via digital platforms supports seamless communication and a more coordinated approach to care. With instant access to updated care plans and health data, all involved parties can work together to deliver optimal outcomes for clients.

What platforms can you trust?

Innovative platforms like Elate are leading the way in creating more effective and individualised caregiving solutions. Elate is an all-in-one system that integrates key elements like rostering, care planning, medication management, and more, all in one place.

Digital Fatigue in Small Care Teams: Why Simplicity Matters Now More Than Ever

For many small care and enabling teams, the run-up to Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year. Staff are juggling changing visit times, unexpected requests, holiday cover, and families reaching out more often. It’s a period where even the most experienced teams feel the strain, and where any additional administrative friction can quickly tip people from “busy” into “overwhelmed”.

Why Small Enabling Teams Need Better Scheduling Tools, Not Bigger Systems

If you run a small enabling team in home care or community support, you’ll know that your days rarely follow a predictable script. You might start the morning by supporting someone with their weekly plan, move quickly to a last-minute visit change, handle a family request, pick up a wellbeing check, and then reshuffle the rota because a staff member’s plans have changed. No two days look the same, and very little follows the tidy patterns that most enterprise scheduling systems expect.
