The two main current projects are the Prevention Pilot and the MIDAS Pilot. The Prevention Pilot aims to establish whether new technologies can play a significant role in monitoring people in their own homes as part of a preventative strategy. It involves six alarms service control centres and five NHS rapid response schemes including, for example, the Sedgefield Home Assessment Rehabilitation Partnership (SHARP). Sensors being used are bed sensors, fall detectors, collapse detectors, heat sensors, bath/shower sensors, flood sensors, and automatic bedside lights.  The smaller-scale MIDAS Pilot involves further collaboration with Tunstall Telecom to develop and evaluate in clients' homes the MIDAS intelligent telecare system for lifestyle monitoring.
