The problem, as it is framed, is this:   when a sensor detects something, who decides what happens next? I t is a good question. But I want to be straightforward about something.   The answer to that question is not new.  The capability being described, routing alerts to a qualified professional who reviews the...]]></description><link>https://www.creatingbetter.co.uk/post/from-sensor-data-to-professional-response-this-is-not-new-and-that-is-a-good-thing</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e0a6d85ebb5a90196f252e</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Apr 2026 09:11:09 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8b21ae_0b66045576c94410b5021a5830663e0d~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Harry MacLean</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where Care Tech Meets Reality: The Rules of Engagement with Local Government]]></title><description><![CDATA[At conferences, on calls, and across LinkedIn, you hear the same message from care technology companies.   Move faster. Be bold. Disrupt. Scale. That energy has driven real progress across health, social care and housing. It has a place. But on its own, it does not deliver in the real world of public services. Because while care tech companies are pushing forward,   local authorities are holding the line.   And they are right to do so. Two very different worlds Care tech companies are built...]]></description><link>https://www.creatingbetter.co.uk/post/where-care-tech-meets-reality-the-rules-of-engagement-with-local-government</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69dcd7bfcf7c468e150c6934</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8b21ae_3d8d40061d324688b3048364d8d5d75b~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Harry MacLean</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Return on Investment in Care Technology: Why One Measure Does Not Fit All]]></title><description><![CDATA[The discussion around return on investment (ROI) in care technology has often been framed too narrowly. Financial savings are frequently presented as the primary justification for adopting digital solutions in health, housing and social care environments. However, this approach fails to reflect the complexity of modern care systems and the diverse stakeholders involved in delivering and receiving care. This paper argues that ROI in care technology must be understood through multiple lenses...]]></description><link>https://www.creatingbetter.co.uk/post/return-on-investment-in-care-technology-why-one-measure-does-not-fit-all</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69dcd52033b1312707e2b9d5</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Feb 2026 12:43:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8b21ae_24f731067f23439f941c75b7469af5c9~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Harry MacLean</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Investing in Technology for Adult Social Care and Health Is Practically Simple – but Politically Complicated]]></title><description><![CDATA[Few people working in adult social care or health would argue with the principle that we need to invest more wisely. Demand is rising, workforce pressures are persistent, and outcomes for citizens are too often compromised by delays, duplication and fragmentation. Most of us also agree that technology, when it genuinely works, should be part of the solution. On the surface, this feels straightforward. Invest in proven technology, improve productivity, share information better, and support...]]></description><link>https://www.creatingbetter.co.uk/post/why-investing-in-technology-for-adult-social-care-and-health-is-practically-simple-but-politically</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69dcd1344760d48e5e921649</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8b21ae_982019adbe114d45a440693f4ed2a62c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Harry MacLean</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
