Medtech industry specialist MedilinkWM has launched the new name ‘Alvolution’ for its division (formerly i-Health) dedicated to the assisted living sector.
The new name reflects the team’s aim of stimulating the evolution of new technologies for home-based intelligent healthcare, supporting independent living for the elderly and those with long-term health conditions.
Rob Chesters, Manager of Alvolution, said: “Alvolution maintains MedilinkWM’s commitment to stimulating demand for assisted living technology, leading and driving the assisted living market, to create better products to deliver quality healthcare. By promoting the role of partnership, best practice and modern technology to support independent living, Alvolution continues to help in the delivery of cost-effective, user-friendly solutions that address the looming crises of an aging population.”
The Alvolution Demonstrator House (formerly known as the i-House) in West Bromwich showcases technology for sustainable independent living in an adapted living space. “Since it opened in 2008, over 300 health and social care practitioners and commissioners have visited, and several companies have directly attributed sales of products being demonstrated in the house, including Sero Solutions, Halliday James and Technik2,” said Rob.
Alvolution also runs the Telehealth Menu service to help commissioners in health and social care select new and established telehealth technologies for their client groups. Rob explained: “For commissioners working in both the public and private sectors, the Telehealth Menu provides instant access and unbiased information on the full range of technological products developed for assisted living.”
MedilinkWM develops business networks for medtech companies, resulting in commercial ventures and business growth in the region.
