A generation of work
“Since 1989, I have worked with researchers in over 50 countries to develop and validate the best methods to help older people report their concerns and connect them to support. Building on these methods, ACT® has created digital tools which are easy to implement and scale across the world. Our work has been recognised with the award of the Inaugural 2021 WSIS prize backed by the United Nations.”

Contact usACT® Assess
Our platform supports a conversation with an older person about their concerns relating to the top 56 threats to their independence and wellbeing.
It’s the only globally validated tool for recording older people’s concerns and priorities for their independence and wellbeing.
ACT® Connect
ACT® Connect provides decision support to help older people and their families access services through approved channels.
A follow-up assessment is undertaken to record outcomes and respond to ongoing concerns. This is repeated at regular intervals thereafter until the older person has no concerns left.
ACT® Insight
ACT® Insight provides data and reporting about population needs and outcomes. It’s used by researchers and policymakers to undertake comparative population analysis.
