ACT® Tools

ACT® Assess

A globally validated tool based on research since 1989 in over 50 countries which helps older people report their concerns and priorities for their health, independence and wellbeing.

ACT® Connect

ACT® Connect helps older people access information, products, and services through: 

  • Signposting to local services
  • Signposting to carer support services
  • Access to high-quality information resources
  • Access to age-friendly social networking platforms
  • Escalation protocols for professional intervention

ACT® Report

ACT® Report summarises the older person’s prioritised concerns and risks (ACT® Assess) and information for the older person to access support (ACT® Connect). It can be incorporated in health and care records, subject to the older person’s consent.

ACT® Insight

Extraction of de-identified data from use of ACT® tools for population analysis and benchmarking. 

How ACT® tools are used

ACT® Assess can be used independently to generate data for population needs assessment with ACT® Insight, but primarily to help older people report their concerns and access support. Combining the tools lets us extract the data to analyse population needs.
