“What are the main challenges older adults are likely
to face when it comes to live independently at
home?”
23 participants aged over 65

Cross-referenced with demographic data, past HHCD

What do “home” and being
“independent” mean for older people
according to their living context?

16. Few insights from this qualitative research…
• A shared meaning of ‘Home’ including people’s
connections
• Networks of support extending from family, friends,
church, activities’ groups, local pub…
• Age does not reflect the changes in people’s lives and
• Three major reasons for changing home: simplifying life,
supports and links
• Noticeable effect of ageism on people’s self-esteem and

Some Key Insights
We reviewed existing Healthy Ageing in Place Frameworks
and identified a gap around:
• the depth of consideration about age-friendly public
realm characteristics.
• The need to support the inclusion of physical exercise in
daily routines (e.g. walking).
• Granular levels of open data to layer and use to
understand place at a hyperlocal level
• Helping decision makers to use data to understand how
to achieve positive healthy living characteristics in place.

27. Next Steps:
Launching our
‘Homes for Healthy
Ageing’ testbeds

28. Connected Places Catapult 28
• To support ageing adults in the UK to live healthy
lives at home, independently, for longer.
• Enable 30-40 UK SMEs to demonstrate and test
innovative approaches and solutions that address
pressing challenges facing ageing adults in their
homes and communities.
• Influence the UK built environment industry to
integrate healthy ageing into their design-thinking
and business models.
Homes for Healthy
Ageing Programme: Aims

29. Connected Places Catapult
What is
our approach?

30. The programme will involve the creation of
testbeds in five locations in the UK.
• Building communities and creating the
conditions to test innovative solutions
• Early-stage concepts and more developed
solutions
• Drawing on local experience and aligning with
existing projects to maximise impact
A partner or local consortium in each location:
e.g. local authorities, NHS trusts, housing
associations, academic institutions, care
organisations, and non-profits.
Connected Places Catapult
What does the programme involve?

31. Connected Places Catapult 31
What could the testbeds look like?
By taking part, you would have the opportunity to shape the labs to suit the challenge and the available infrastructure;
some examples of what the testbeds could look like are:
Recruiting 10
participants to use
and test new
solutions in their
homes
Utilising an area of
public realm to trial
solutions to improve
activity and active
travel
Establishing a
community hub in an
empty shop front to
co-create solutions
and test new services
Equipping carers with
new technologies or
services to test how
well they support their
work

32. Connected Places Catapult 32
We’re looking for organisations and partners
who:
• are keen to try new solutions,
• have an interest in learning about the
impact of those solutions
• are willing to help to build an
environment for testing
A housing provider with a desire
to be at the leading edge of trialling
innovative solutions to the
challenges their tenants face
A local authority with an interest in
investigating how best to help
enable healthy ageing for citizens
An academic working in the area
on a challenge related to healthy
ageing, who wants to amplify their
research to include real-world
testing and learn about the impact
of different solutions
Who are we looking for? A consortium might include:

33. The
opportunity

Funding
Successful applicants to the HfHA
programme will benefit from significant
investments the Catapult is making to
support the creation of local testbeds, and
procurement of suitable solutions.
Insights
The HfHA programme will provide
successful applicants with access to the
tools, user insights and knowhow needed
to create an impactful testbed that drives
real change for the consortia and the
community.
Network
Applicants to the programme will be given
exclusive access to the key change
makers, to guide your strategy for healthy
ageing and the successful implementation
of your local testbed.
