Our Impact Projects

Test ideas. Generate evidence. Prove what works.

CTeL Impact Projects bring policy to life through real-world initiatives that generate independent evidence and inform the future of digital health.

Featured project

CTeL Home

A real home. Real technology. Real-world evidence.

CTeL Home is a residential research environment equipped with smart-home and remote patient monitoring technologies.

We study how these tools perform in everyday life, not just in controlled settings, and publish independent research on what works, what doesn’t, and what policy needs to change.

By bringing connected technology into a home setting, the project links everyday experience with independent academic research. The aim is to turn lessons from real-world use into evidence that helps inform digital health policy.

How we build evidence

Our impact work connects everyday experience, independent research, and policy. Each step helps turn real-world use into evidence that can inform digital health decisions.

Test

Bring technology into everyday life.

CTeL Home brings smart-home and remote patient monitoring tools into a residential setting, so their performance can be studied in the context of daily routines.

Learn

Understand what works in practice.

Independent academic researchers study real-world performance. The goal is to understand what works, what does not, and where the evidence points to a need for change.
