MediPi open source telehealth kit piloted in NHS
An open source telehealth kit built using a Raspberry Pi will be piloted with heart patients at a southern NHS trust this financial year.
Richard Robinson, a technical integration specialist at HSCIC, developed the telehealth prototype called MediPi to prove that “telehealth is affordable at scale”.
He said eight months ago his wife, who works for a charity helping socially isolated older people, was asked to find volunteers for a telehealth pilot.
“She came home with the kit and it was all high-end tablets, 3G and Bluetooth enabled devices and I was really shocked by what I thought would cost,” explained Robinson.
