UK care homes are increasingly using AI and smart technology to improve resident safety and care, particularly for those with dementia. Systems monitor movement, detect falls and pain, and even adjust environmental factors like air quality and lighting. While proponents highlight improved care and reduced staff workload, concerns exist about ethical implications, potential staff cuts, and over-reliance on technology in a vulnerable population. The high cost of such technology also raises questions of accessibility and equity in care provision. Finally, the article notes the need for robust regulation and oversight to prevent misuse and maintain a human-centered approach to care.
