Using technology to help you live independently
The TEC Room and Technology Enabled Care
The use of technology to provide health and social care services at home is Technology Enabled Care (TEC). TEC helps you to live safely and independently, and to manage your health more effectively.
The TEC Room
The TEC Room is a technology demonstration room in Peterhead set up to show how this technology can help you. It is a welcoming, homely space to help you learn about some of the technology options available. There are live demonstrations and you will find out how the technology can help you live safely and independently at home.
You can try out home consumer technology options such as:
- smart speaker with built-in video screen (featuring Amazon Alexa)
- automatic curtain opener
- smart plugs connected to lamps
- doorbell camera
You can also find out how the smart speaker can be used to set reminders and control various devices.
Some examples of the equipment available from our telecare service, such as fall sensors and pendant alarms, are also on display.
