opportunities, failures and successes will
accelerate our eventual but certain emergence
from this crisis

14. Prior to COVID-19
From the ISCF HA framework, we know that
• Unsuitable housing is estimated to cost the NHS £624 million per annum
for first year treatment costs, largely due to excess cold and the risk of falls
(Garret & Burris, 2015).
• While there is significant potential to ensure that new housing is of good
quality and meets lifetime home standards, the majority of homes that will
exist in 2050 have already been built (Boardman et. al, 2015).
Focus areas and specific opportunities - There is a particular need for
inclusive design in mainstream home products:
• Designing major fixtures, fittings and everyday products for the home so
that they remain usable as intrinsic capacity declines
• Redesigning and rebranding more adaptive products for a mainstream
market to encourage people to purchase these before they are needed
• Developing ‘smart home’/connected products, services and applications
that enable activities of daily living, and marketing/branding these in
age-friendly ways

15. Our new reality
• Health is a key concern for everyone
• Lockdown – people are acutely aware of their space at home and how it
affects health
• WFH - Remote working from home has gone mainstream
• Remote care – falling barriers to GP consultations and remote monitoring
• Technology will play a key part of lockdown exit strategies

16. Government Support
• Big announcements about support for
business including Innovate UK
• Future Fund
• Innovation loans
• R&D grants
• Unprecedented demand
• Business-led innovation in response to global
disruption competition – received 8,600

• More than all competitions in the last 12 months
• Connected Places Catapult was planned
prior to the crisis response but the timing
has heightened interest
• Several key elements, including
• Solutions that fit our new reality
• How is this project going to build on the
experience of other housing pilots (past and
present)
