Abstract
The Wirral Assistive Technology Programme (WAT) has operated across the whole population of the Borough for 3 years. It includes the installation of telecare technologies such as falls alerts and movement sensors to prolong users' independence and reduce use of secondary care. Qualitative evaluation of user and carer perspectives indicated a reduction in admissions as a result of the technology and we sought to demonstrate this at a population level.
