“Collaboration is the number one aspect, because, without collaboration, there’s no way of understanding what the problems are... Smartline is all about bringing together disparate systems.”

Smartline Conference
Documentary. Smartline - A groundbreaking research project supported by more than 300 social housing residents
Through our work, we’re gaining a better understanding of people’s health and wellbeing needs. We’re exploring behaviours that drive those needs, and the role of the volunteer sector in community change. We’re also uncovering how ready and willing people are to use digital technology that aims to improve health and wellbeing. Our work is supporting the development of an innovative eHealth and eWellbeing enterprise sector, driving improvements in health and wellbeing for individuals and the community. Our research is being used to support Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
“Smartline has some excellent evidence and data. I think one of the things that it demonstrates is how different ways of working and different data collection can help with prevention.”
— Tracey Roose. CEO Age UK Cornwall & Isles of Scilly, Chair Smartline Advisory Board
