Just Checking is a portable, activity monitoring system used for the assessment of people with dementia, living in their own homes. The kit is easy to install, and activity charts are accessed on-line. Used by health and social care practitioners to support people with dementia Just Checking has a strong track record in increasing opportunities to support people at home, postponing residential care.
Half of all social services councils in the UK are using Just Checking for assessment and care planning, ensuring care is targeted and effective. In health trusts and PCTs, it is used in community mental health, intermediate care and hospital discharge.

Telehealth Solutions is a pioneering telehealth company with high-quality, low-cost systems available for use in GP surgeries and pharmacies, as well as within other institutions, commercial premises and in patient homes. We combine state-of-the-art technology and cost-effectiveness, and are committed to providing efficient healthcare technology to both patients and providers. We provide the most secure, scalable and robust methods for collecting information from patients, without the need for clinical intervention, and getting that information into the hands of the clinicians and carers who are looking after those patients. All of our products integrate with the most appropriate existing clinical system (e.g. Emis) – we go to great lengths to avoid creating an extra system for professionals to have to use. Our approach is to make everything as simple and as easy to use as possible. All our products therefore use touchscreen devices and the patient interface to our products is able to work in any written language too.

STAND 40


STT Condigi is the result of a merger between the Danish group Condigi Televagt A/S and Sweden’s STT Care AB in 2008. The aim of the merger is to create the conditions for further expansion and to meet market challenges in the future. The new company, which occupies a leading position within the segment of safety for elderly care and medical services on the Nordic market, has assembled powerful resources and a broad knowledge base with regard to customer needs. Now STT Condigi also enters the UK via an office in Newcastle.
Our market is in constant growth. The number of elderly people who require care is increasing all the time. The number of people over 80 years old will double over the next 40 years. This means that the need for nursing and care of elderly people will increase dramatically, as will the need for technical devices at home and in elderly accommodation.
