A new website will help local authorities and healthcare providers in the UK to select cost-effective telehealth products to improve the lives of people with long-term health conditions.

The product comparison website from Alvolution enables users to compare and review a huge range of technologies on the UK's largest and most up-to-date database of telehealth products.

The website helps with both specific need-generated enquiries and more general welfare searches. Searchable by condition, scenario or technology, it presents a range of options and highlights product uses and benefits.

Developed in partnership with NHS and social care managers, this independent website saves research costs and shares best practice, helping care professionals to quickly source effective technologies for their patients.

Sharon Ross, Telehealthcare Project Manager at NHS Telford and Wrekin, said: "As the population ages, telehealth will expand rapidly, so the telehealth technology finder has massive potential. Getting product information at a single click, using one icon, is just invaluable.

"By using this single repository, we can refer products on to commissioning teams, clinicians and community workers with real confidence. Gone are the hours of horizon scanning on Google!"

"By keeping patients and the elderly out of surgeries, hospitals and care homes, telehealth systems can improve our quality of life and save local authorities and the NHS, millions of pounds," said Joanne Perry, Business Development Manager at Alvolution.

"But with so many technologies, capabilities and functionalities, keeping abreast of all developments can prove impossible. That's why a website which enables professionals to share knowledge and access accurate, impartial reviews of technology is being so eagerly embraced."

Alvolution is a division of MedilinkWM that is dedicated to the assisted living market.
