Creating New Revenue Opportunities with 'Independent Living' Solutions
 

Alan Matthews

With population demographics shifting and people living for longer, costs of residential care increasing, budgetary pressures on local authorities and NHS to do more with less as well as labour shortages across the entire care sector, there are significant opportunities for companies that can provide ‘Independent Living Technology’ solutions. 

As Smart Home installers there are numerous home automation solutions, which as an industry we have a track history of providing, that can also be utilised to support people to live independently in their homes or to assist care facility’s staff and owners. 

In this presentation we’ll give you an overview of the following:
•    The Problem
•    The Solution
•    Several Target Client Types
•    Why Now
•    Market Size/The Opportunity 
•    Example Integrator Revenues 

Come and learn how easily you can add ‘Independent Living Technologies’ to the portfolio of solutions that your business provides.
