CAREPORTAL®

CAREPORTAL® is a Class IIa Medical Device grade piece of equipment which conforms to MDD (European Medical Device Directive), and was specifically designed to meet the needs of users with a range of physical and mental abilities. CAREPORTAL® is a portable multi-media Android based device designed to address the wider requirements of the ageing population.

It is a fully capable telehealth monitor that enables the recording of daily clinical, life style and quality of life data, as well as the delivery of appropriate condition-specific information to educate patients and assist them to manage their conditions more effectively.

With ageing comes social isolation, frequently caused by bereavement, fragmented families and the digital divide. Ageing is often accompanied by long-term conditions, dementia and a gradually deteriorating ability to perform the activities of daily living. These are the design factors behind CAREPORTAL® which recognise the correlation of long-term conditions, age and socio-economic factors.
