About Smartline

Smartline was a collaborative project exploring how everyday technology can help people in Cornwall to live a healthier, happier and more connected life.

About our work

Through our work we gained a better understanding of people’s health and wellbeing needs. We explored behaviours that drive those needs, and the role of the volunteer sector in community change.

We also uncovered how ready and willing people are to use digital technology that aims to improve health and wellbeing.

Our work has supported 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.
