Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technologies in order to provide health care at a distance. Here at OCC we are involved in a number of telemedicine projects around Parkinson’s disease and the latest is CuPiD.
Part funded by the European Union (FP7/2007-2013), the CuPiD project is developing and field testing home rehabilitation services for the major motor disabilities caused by Parkinson’s disease. OCC is responsible for transforming these services into telemedicine services; available in the home with remote supervision from a clinician. OCC is also responsible for integrating this system into Electronic Patient Records and systems for procuring health and social care services.
