Specialists in broadband videoconferencing for the care industry, mediagrids, has kicked off a partner recruitment programme with the appointment of the integrated telecare services company iTelecare. The agreement will combine the value-added expertise and solutions of iTelecare with the broadcare system from mediagrids that advances the telecare industry beyond the use of simple panic buttons linked to voice-only calls centres, to include intelligent and discreet monitoring of clients in their home with round the clock preventative care.
Nic Jefferis at iTelecare explains, "With the introduction of broadcare to our portfolio, we can offer our clients an even more 'complete' package. As it integrates seamlessly with other care systems and may be used with any of the familiar monitoring equipment and medical devices, we can deliver leading telecare services for social and health care. broadcare is an innovative platform that has huge potential to help large volumes of clients with a wide variety of care at home requirements."
"iTelecare will use Broadcare as a core technology around which to build value-added products and services such as security, integration, information management and data analysis for preventative care," adds Chris Williams, CEO at mediagrids. "We believe that the new partnership marks a step change in allowing the vulnerable to live more independently and encouraging 'social inclusion'. With privacy-enabled access, friends, family and carers can make visual contact with their loved-ones more regularly and effectively."
