Big Media is a web software company that specialises in turning websites into ones that look good on ANY platform through the application of their Chameleon software – one site, one URL any device.

In the context of using information and communication technologies to Liberate the Individual to Live Independently, it is seen as vital that internet experiences are not hampered and restricted to computers.

With successful deployments of Chameleon services in the Olympic Lodge Hotel bedrooms (hybrid internet and broadcast TV) and with the National Spinal Injuries Centre (multiplatform support information "channel"), Big Media demonstrates a firm understanding and ability to help organisations reach their audiences WITHOUT restricting access to PCs and laptops.

Looking Local – owned by Kirklees Council – has delivered public sector services on TV and mobile for over seven years. Platform agnostic and driven to ensure universal access, Looking Local is leading the UK’s evaluation of eHealth and Telecare services on digital interactive TV, smartphones, tablets and mobile. This work focuses on helping older people to stay independent and at home for longer by managing their personal healthcare, monitoring, giving access to professionals, appointments, information and advice.

Looking Local is a strategic partner of NHS24, hospital health trusts and several CCGs and together we are working towards the availability of a range of health services on digital TV, mobile and smartphones. Widening access to health information, advice, appointment booking and local health services to people without internet access has proven time and again to deliver efficiencies.

In 2011 NHS Scotland launched a new service via Looking Local allowing patients improved access to NHS 24, NHS Inform, Care Information Scotland and Scottish Backs as well as the ability to undertake health questionnaires. The service offers real time GP appointment booking, access to local health services (dentists, doctors, opticians, pharmacies), information from the Health A-Z, seasonal health advice, news, health and wellbeing guides, as well as links to local support organisations.

In addition to our health partners (NHS Trusts, GP Commissioning Consortia, NHS Choices and Patient Opinion) Looking Local is also leading a number of telehealth and telecare programmes focusing on older people, issues of isolation, healthcare provision and service delivery efficiencies.

InHealthcare, a trading division of InTechnology, is a managed telehealth service provider designed to help patients self-manage long-term conditions such as diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic heart failure and stroke and allow clinical teams to support patients in the community which can include health needs beyond long-term conditions.

Following referral from a clinician, we provide a full installation and training service for the patient, along with the appropriate monitoring device(s), telehealth gateway and Internet access where required. Results of the patient’s regular morning tests are transmitted via the telehealth hub and the NHS N3 network to our triage operation. All technical triage and clinician training is included.

We are able to provide multiple channels to capture patient data from a simple to use medically accredited telehealth hub through to simple text messaging where all data is uploaded to the same consistent open standards based (agnostic) telehealth web platform. We also provide unique services through innovative medical technologies such as early detection of AF and under nutrition and dehydration monitoring in the community through remote supervision of %body water and %body fat.

Our unique approach to telehealth has allowed our NHS partners to develop their own telehealth services which can then be commercialised and delivered to other NHS Trust. Our platform allows for clinicians to develop their own applications that address real needs in the health sector, this approach provides flexibility and confidence that solutions are being developed that focus on clinical needs rather than simply providing a box capturing patient observations
