About the Internet of Caring Things® programme

The Internet of Caring Things® is a network of connected devices and services with a clear mission: to actively care for people – their physical and mental well-being – and what really matters to them – such as leisure, safety and security, pets, planet, sustainability and connecting with family and friends.

A £5.6 million pound project running through to the end of 2026, the programme is delivered by U.K. National Innovation Centre Ageing (NICA), Voice® and Centre of Process Innovation (CPI) to support economic growth and improve the health and wellbeing of those living and working in the North East. Together, we are developing the first network of connected objects and cognitive systems with a clear mission: to actively care for people and what matters to them.

This project is part-funded by the North East Combined Authority and Newcastle University, in partnership with the Centre of Process Innovation (CPI).

The North East Combined Authority is a partnership of seven local authority areas of County Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside and Sunderland and the North East Elected Mayor. Find out more at: https://www.northeast-ca.gov.uk/
