HSCNI Apps Library
A range of accessible tools can be found here – some can be used to help you manage your stress and develop techniques to maintain your wellbeing. Others can help support the management of long term chronic conditions like diabetes; or to help with pregnancy and early years.
View the apps libraryCLEAR Dementia Care App
The CLEAR Dementia Care App provides accessible information and support. It is always available when you need it. The information is presented in bite sized chunks to make it easier to understand and follow.
The App uses both text and colourful illustrations to help us to see the world from the perspective of the person with dementia. When we do this quality of life improves for both the person with dementia and those who love and support them.

Connected Places Catapult is pleased to announce Sunderland City Council and a Northern Ireland consortium as the first two location partners in its Homes for Healthy Ageing Programme.
The two-year £2.5 million programme was launched at the end of last year in response to the Government’s to ensure people live longer in their homes while narrowing the gap between the experiences of the richest and poorest.
About the programmeInnovate UK Move More Live More
Move More Live More is about improving your activity levels, strength, balance and overall health and wellbeing to get the most out of later life.
It aims to reduce falls in people aged over 65 because we know, from what older people tell us, that a fall can affect our confidence, stop us doing the things we enjoy, or even impact our ability to live independently. Even though falls can be life-changing, there is very little public information or education around how we can stay strong as we age.
