Evidence

Just Checking is a 'telecare' system. Telecare is a very new area for health and social care services and evidence of its effectiveness is beginning to be reported by early adopters. Its greatest impact is when it is used as part of an integrated care and support service, but this makes it all the harder to provide data on the effectiveness of a single piece of technology, rather than the whole service. A number of evaluations which have involved Just Checking are reported here.
