Blackwood Connect (360G-SCVO-a11b0000001RcEUAA0)

From the summer of 2015, Blackwood began to rollout a new technology-enabled care platform called ‘CleverCogs’ within the organisation’s care homes and care at home locations. Giving our participating customers a touchscreen home hub, CleverCogs empowers our care customers by having assistance at hand, enabled by video communication with our staff who respond through a new smartphone app as well as the ability to receive diarised reminders and prompts. Through our other apps designed in-house, CleverCogs is far more than a simple care device with our customers discovering new avenues through internet access to rekindle old interests, research hobbies and play favourite music, games or movies. Finally, our customers can connect using a ‘Family and Friends’ video calling app where they can interact face to face with people miles away and contact carers more easily.
