Fold Telecare Innovation

Fold TeleCare continues to develop its services to meet the ever changing needs of its clients. Our new Tele-Health service, delivered in partnership with the Northern, Western and Southern Health and Social Care Trusts continues to grow ahead of target with over three hundred and fifty patients being monitored.


TF3 Consortium
The TF3 consortium brings Fold TeleCare together with its technology partners Tunstall (www.tunstall.co.uk) and S3 Group (www.s3group.com); This partnership has enabled the advancement of our Tele-Health services. We have now reached the final four bidders shortlisted to proceed to the final stage of the procurement of Northern Ireland wide Tele-Health service to reach over 5,000 people by 2011.

Assisted Living Innovation Platforms
Throughout the year we also continued progress in two innovative technology projects funded by the Technology Strategy Board’s “Assisted Living Innovation Platform”.

Project “Virtex” is led by Tunstall in partnership with DigiTV, Housing 21 and Sheffield University and aims to develop the Telehealthcare technology platform to establish a virtual community of connected clients and carers.

Project “Nocturnal” is led by Fold in partnership with the University of Ulster and aims to develop Telehealthcare technology to provide therapeutic support and guidance during the hours of darkness for people in the early stages of dementia.
