CAREPORTAL® is a Class IIa Medical Device (MDD – European Medical Device Directive) and was specifically designed to meet the needs of users who are not tech-savvy and to easily acquire ECG and breathing rate.
It is an Android based device designed to address the wider requirements of the ageing population. We worked with groups of elderly people organised by Age UK to design and develop it using a ‘use-case’ and ‘user-centred’ design processes.
