Facilitating the future of effective Technology-Enabled Care

As more people rely on Technology-Enabled Care (TEC) to maintain their independence and well-being, the need for consistent and reliable standards has become increasingly evident.

That's where BS 8684:2024 Technology enabled care – Assessment of user needs and risks, system design, installation and maintenance – Code of practice comes in.

This is the UK’s first comprehensive standard dedicated to the delivery of TEC services. It has been developed to ensure that every step of the TEC service chain—from assessment and installation to maintenance and beyond—is executed with the utmost safety, reliability, and person-centered focus.

What are the benefits of using BS 8684?

BS 8684 addresses the challenges of fragmented care delivery by standardizing practices across the entire TEC service chain. This not only enhances the safety and well-being of users but also empowers care providers, local authorities, and service commissioners to deliver high-quality, end-to-end care.

Other benefits include:

  • Enhanced safety: ensures that all TEC services meet the highest safety standards.
  • Person-centered care: tailors solutions to individual needs, improving quality of life.
  • Consistency across services: standardizes practices to reduce risks and improve outcomes.
