mHealth Assist is a flexible mobile technology platform
which supports assisted living. It is a mobile app which is designed to allow
features of a device to be more easily accessible to the user, customised to
their needs.
It is one of the University of Sheffield’s Knowledge Transfer Account projects and is a collaboration between Peter Cudd of the
Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology group, ScHARR and HMA Digital Marketing. The prototype has been developed in consultation with local user and
advisory groups for people with visual impairment. The initial mobile app will
be refined and launched for market testing.
The project proved the use and validity of this technology
and the funding allowed the establishment of a meaningful collaboration between
ScHARR and HMA. The partnership has generated interest from a London based
charity and resulted in them funding a new related project.
