Carers UK have created a great list to categorise TEC. 

It summarises technologies according to the health and lifestyle needs that they target.

• Everyday needs: there are various apps and online websites available. They can help with daily tasks such as shopping or looking after money. They can also help you keep in touch with friends and family. 
• Environmental monitoring: some technology can help you manage your home. You can do this using many devices, apps, smart home controls or even your voice. They can help you manage your heating, lighting or even door entry. There are also specialist systems called environmental control systems. These can help with more complex needs. 
• Remote alerts: this technology can help check whether a person at risk is safe in their own home. If something goes wrong, automated alerts can be raised. These are sent to carers or to 24-hour alarm and response centres. 
• Monitoring vital signs: technology can measure health signs. This includes blood pressure, blood glucose, heart rate or even sleeping patterns. This can be done through apps or bespoke devices. Some tools can even raise alarms. Others can help avoid lengthy hospital visits for routine checks. 
• Accessing remote healthcare and advice: some technologies can help you access services remotely. This means that you might be able to receive advice via telephone, email or video sessions online. 
• Medication management: some devices can help keep track of medications. They can remind you when you need to take prescribed medicine and offer reassurance. 
• Self-enhancement: some tools you can use to improve your skills and abilities. These range from hearing aids to fitness apps.
