What is ‘tech’.
We offer advice and support in innovation and technology in the Scottish housing sector.
We envision a world where technology enabled care in the housing sector is used on a routine basis to ensure tenants receive the right advice, care and support, at the right time, in an environment they feel safe in, primarily their own home.
We exist to share knowledge and expertise around technology enabled care and support with the housing sector, encouraging organisations to keep customers at the heart of innovation and service improvements.
Our aim is to make technology in housing more accessible, to showcase the impressive and impactful application of technology that is happening right now across Scotland and to bring together tech-minded innovators looking to develop or implement digital technology that improves the lives of tenants.
‘tech’ offers advice and support to the Scottish housing sector through:
-
‘tech’ will work with commercial, public and third sector partners to facilitate and/or fund small test of change and proof of concept projects that demonstrate how a technology or digital application can improve outcomes for tenants.
-
The ‘Scottish Approach to Service Design’ describes design as a way of exploring the problem space openly, collaboratively and with users, before a solution or service is decided. A method of exploring problems that removes organisational or sectoral boundaries. A way of working that should be present at the very heart of government policy, bringing otherwise disparate parts of the public sector around a common goal.

tech and Digital Telecare for Scottish Local Government have co-designed detailed pathways within the Digital Telecare Playbook that explores the stepping stones to achieve a digital transition through four phases: Discovery, Planning, Implementation and Closure.

Advancing technologies are changing how we do business; driving both the pace and scale of changes in the world of work, including jobs in housing. As the workplace continues to evolve, so must the workforce. Staff will be increasingly more likely to encounter technology as part of their role, and organisations must support their staff to adopt new ways of working that may require a new set of skills.

Near Me is a secure, easy to use, web-based video appointments service that’s available to all social landlords, enabling housing services to be delivered or facilitated through video calling. The system was originally designed for NHS Scotland and is tried and tested, safe and secure. See Training videos
