Market Deployment. Given that Albyn Housing Society is a significant player within the Registered Social Housing movement in Scotland, we are in a prime position to deploy our concept throughout the country. This has been verified by our invitation to update the housing movement in Scotland at their main housing conference held by the Chartered Institute of Housing at the SECC in Glasgow in March. We see the social housing market in Scotland as one of our primary markets in the first instance. NHS Highland, UHI and Highlands & Islands Enterprise are building a robust digital health innovation sector with a key aim of engaging a cluster of SMEs. These companies will form a ‘triple helix’ with the health service and academics. We will take advantage in our remote decision support programmes and the burgeoning superfast broadband infrastructure to ensure that the Fit Home project is seen as a regionally owned programme and not just centred around Inverness City. Equally, we wish to provide apprenticeships, graduate placements and new company start ups for graduates and employees from UHI. These relationships will allow us to build robust and scalable models that can be exploited in other health and social care systems, worldwide. We are also working closely with care providers and community trusts in Scotland and are currently in our first negotiations to support organisations in these sectors to enhance the work they do through the Fit House model.
