• This report sets out how technology can support a sustainable, effective and fair social care system. It describes the foundations needed for any technology to be responsibly and effectively deployed, specifically:
• the data needed to build and measure technology focused on wellbeing;
• the skills required to use tech to care;
• and the culture to empower people to adopt and shape technology to their needs.
• See the blog With the right foundations tech can help fix the UK’s broken social care system

• This accompanying report examines some of the questions raised in the report and finds that there’s not enough evidence currently available for commissioners and providers to effectively roll out new technology interventions into social care services. 
• It asks What data exists on social care at a local level, What data exists on outputs and outcomes and What data exists on the externalities of care? (those using care, on unpaid carers, and on paid carers.)
