How Tech-Assisted Care Supports Daily Living at Home

Technology is transforming the way we deliver care at home. At EnableU, we believe in embracing innovative solutions that help people with disabilities and seniors live more independently, safely, and confidently. Tech-assisted care is not just about gadgets—it’s about meaningful improvements in daily living and peace of mind for families.

What Is Tech-Assisted In-Home Care?

Tech-assisted care refers to the integration of digital tools, smart devices, and assistive technologies into a person’s daily support plan. These tools are tailored to individual needs and may include:

• Fall detection and alert systems



• Smart medication dispensers



• Environmental controls (e.g. lights, curtains, temperature)



• Telehealth and video consultations



• Mobility aids with tracking and feedback



• Speech-to-text communication devices

Benefits of Using Technology in Daily Care

When used correctly, technology can:

• Increase independence by enabling individuals to manage tasks with minimal assistance



• Enhance safety with sensors and alerts that notify family or carers



• Improve routines by automating repetitive or difficult tasks



• Reduce isolation through digital communication platforms



• Streamline care delivery for support workers and allied health professionals

Examples from EnableU Clients

Across Ryde, Canada Bay, and Hunter’s Hill, EnableU clients are using tech to make daily life easier. For example:

• Emily, a stroke survivor, uses a voice-controlled smart speaker to set reminders and control her lighting.



• Sami, an NDIS participant with autism, benefits from a visual schedule app that helps him transition between tasks.



• Anna, a Home Care Package client, uses a medication reminder system synced with her carer’s phone.

Working With Allied Health to Integrate Tech

Our occupational therapists and physiotherapists work directly with clients to assess, trial, and recommend suitable devices based on daily function, goals, and risks. This ensures technology is not just installed—but truly integrated.

NDIS & Home Care Package Funding

Assistive technology can be funded through:

• NDIS – Assistive Technology budget (low to high cost items)



• Home Care Packages under aids and equipment



• Temporary Transformation Payment (TTP) support

EnableU’s Person-First Approach to Tech

We only recommend tech solutions that:

• Enhance the person’s lifestyle—not complicate it



• Respect cultural preferences and language needs



• Are accessible for carers and family
