MATCH (Mobilising Advanced Technologies for Care at Home) is a collaborative research project focused on technologies for care at home. Although based in Scotland, our work is globally relevant.

Apart from the project web site, the MATCH Forum provides additonal information about the project members and activities.

MATCH is helping by:

• maintaining the independence of those receiving social and health care at home
• improving their quality of life
• enhancing the care they receive at home
• easing the burden on their carers.

We can offer:

• expertise and research capacity in home care technologies
• techniques that integrate a variety of existing and future devices and services
• interfaces that allow our own solutions to work with others
• usable technologies that support delivery of social and health care at home
• guidelines and training on use of home care technologies.

We have specialised expertise in:

• home care networks and services
• lifestyle monitoring
• speech communication
• human interfaces using novel techniques.

Our end users are those at home with complex care needs: long-term illness, physical or mental impairment.
