HAPPI Hour - Technology-enabled, co-designed housing for better later living

This "TAPPI Hour" webinar, coinciding with Co-production Week 2026, showcases co-designed housing solutions that put residents at the heart of decision-making. This HAPPI Hour session explores how collaboration between tenants, housing providers and innovators can create homes and communities that better meet the needs of older people. It looks at how technology-enabled approaches can support independence, safety and wellbeing, alongside preventative models that help identify issues early and reduce social isolation, including approaches that strengthen support within shared living environments. Speakers share practical insights from co-produced initiatives, demonstrating how design, digital tools and cross-sector collaboration can improve quality of life and help foster more connected, inclusive and age-friendly communities.
