Cybermoor Services LTD (SME, CYB, http://www.cybermoor.org/)
Cybermoor a social enterprise located in Alston, in the North Pennines. The remoteness of the community lead to the establishment of Cybermoor in 2002, providing broadband and PCs to improve access to services and overcome isolation. In 2007, Cybermoor established the Alston Healthcare project, which focused on developing telehealth and telemedicine services for the local community. We have delivered the successful implementation of a COPD / heart failure telehealth project for 40 patients and video links between hospitals to provide remote assessment of patients. We work closely with Cumbria NHS Partnership Trust and Cumbria County Council Social Services. We have; a network of 360 people connected to broadband; links with NGOs across Cumbria such as Age UK; links with the local healthcare community (both clinicians and managers). We work with other NGOs to recruit test users for projects and have also carried out usability testing in the past. The team have been involved in 6&7th Framework and E-TEN projects supported by the European Commission and this has provided a good understanding of partnership working. Key personnel: Daniel Heery.
