Mediagrids demonstrated its "Convergence" statement by showcasing Third Party peripherals with its CareMATE Online system at the National Telecare and Telehealth Conference in Cardiff on 6-8th November. The compatibility news is very significant in a market crowded with many care devices only connecting to their own base station. Mediagrids is pushing forward with a roadmap of compatibility with third party devices thus reducing the need for different base stations for different patient requirements. Developing an open platform with third party convergence means saving asset costs for Carers, Care Centres and Primary Care Trusts.
"The day is fast approaching where all your medical, lifestyle, and social needs can be delivered by one discreet CareHUB," said Rob Bijkerk, CEO of Mediagrids. "We hope to show that there is no need for many care units sitting in your home communicating independent of each other to different paid agencies. One care station transmitting crucial information for social and healthcare devices is all that is required."
CareMATE Online can be used by small care teams or large care centres across the UK managed at reduced cost and the ownership can be wholly theirs.
