Oct 12 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM Interventions are needed to urgently prevent elderly and vulnerable people from putting their health at risk, with temperatures inside some homes reaching as low as 5C last winter, says Lilli, the SaaS company using a proactive care lifestyle monitoring technology to revolutionize care.
Data from all people using the technology across the UK during the time period shows 42% of days were spent at risk, with an average temperature of 14C. This is significantly below the minimum 18C recommended as safe for the general population by the World Health Organization and UK authorities. As cold weather approaches, energy costs remain high and inflation continues to take its toll, forcing individuals to make difficult decisions. Our own data sadly shows it is almost a certainty that many elderly and vulnerable people are at risk and will either keep the heating too low or avoid turning it on at all again this winter.
Melissa Wise, Executive Director – Community & Adult Social Care Services, Reading Borough Council, comments: “Having access to data and insights around temperature allows care professionals to get a clearer picture of the conditions in service users’ homes even when their carers are not there. It helps us spot quickly when low temperatures in someone’s home pose a threat to their health, allowing us to intervene and concentrate our strained resources where they are most needed.
