Evidencing Impact — How to Measure the Value of Assistive Tech
It’s easy to talk about the potential of assistive technology. What matters more — especially in tenders and inspections — is how you demonstrate actual impact on people’s lives.
📊 What Commissioners and Inspectors Want to Know
It’s not enough to say, “We use sensor mats and fall detectors.” They want to see:
- How often technology is reviewed and adjusted based on outcomes
- How it improves autonomy, safety, wellbeing or communication
- How decisions are co-produced with the individual and family
This shows maturity, responsiveness, and a person-centred approach.
📌 Examples of Evidence You Can Share
- Reduction in falls or hospital admissions
- Case studies or testimonials from people supported
- Before-and-after outcome tracking (mobility, communication, sleep)
You don’t need to make it complex — just consistent and meaningful.
📝 What to Say in Tenders
Make your responses stand out with lines like:
- “We track outcomes monthly using our Assistive Tech Outcomes Review Tool.”
- “Our tech audit in March 2025 showed 85% of devices were actively improving independence.”
- “Families told us the technology gives them peace of mind and reduced anxiety.”
💡 The Takeaway
Tech without evidence is just a purchase. Show commissioners and inspectors how you measure, reflect, and adapt — and you’ll earn trust and higher scores.
