ALIP1 ADI100D TVPhone
An Assisted Living Innovation Platform Project
The consortium led by Advanced Digital Instutute (ADI), based in Saltaire, West Yorkshire is developing innovative Tele-Health technology to provide affordable in-home two-way video technology for patient to clinician consultations and supply of health information.
The Tele-health Consultation System is a TV based video telephony solution, developed in conjunction with a number of partners including Red Embedded Design, a Bradford based company that has been developing a TV-based videophone telephony service. Other partners include BTL, also a Bradford based technology company that is developing interactive e-learning applications for the service.
The revolutionary system, which will initially be deployed by another of the partners in the consortium, the Airedale NHS Trust, will supply affordable in-home two-way video services for tele-support, health advice and information as well as direct "live" tele-consultations with its health professionals. It is envisaged that once trialled by the Airedale NHS Trust, the solution could be deployed more widely across the NHS and elsewhere.
The project is being supported with funding from the UK Technology Strategy Board under their Assisted Living Innovation Platform programme.
