START:
Social Care Tech: Asking the Right Questions Tool

Welcome to START

The Social Care Tech: Asking the Right Questions Tool has been designed by researchers from the University of Leeds to improve technology solutions and use in Social Care.

Our mission: Improving the quality of technology companies' approaches to social care providers, helping collaborations be more succesful.

How was it developed?

START is based on governmental and National Institute for health and Care Excellence frameworks and our research into the issues faced by social care providers trying to implement tech solutions more effectively.

The START is a series of prompts about things that are important for successful implementation
