This first stage was to carry out desktop research, to understand the studies that have already been carried out into connected/smart homes in the social housing sector and their findings.

We’re really keen to hear any additional thoughts on what the initial research has told us, so you can read a summary of the report here or the full report here.

If you have something to add or you’d like to get involved, please drop a line to matthew.gardiner@disriptiveinnovatorsnetwork.co.uk

Housing providers are currently filling in a survey so we can fully understand their experiences so far.

There’s still time to take part. You can find the survey, here. 

The next stage will be to hold structured interviews with landlords and tech suppliers.
