Tunstall Group Ltd is the market leader in social alarm communications systems.  Tunstall is working within the SAFE 21 R project in partnership with developers, researchers and user specialists to develop and trial at home telemedicine monitoring system.  The system allows patients at home to take medical diagnostic measurements which are transmitted as data to a monitoring centre, stored and made accessible to a remote doctor or nurse using a PC.  The established social alarm infrastructure of monitoring centres and services is the platform for this telemedicine service.  SAFE 21 uses the medical technology developed by RGB Medical Devices (Spain) integrated with the communications and monitoring technology of Tunstall.  The system will be trialed with patients and healthcare service providers in Newcastle upon Tyne (UK), Sittard (The Netherlands) and Barcelona (Spain) during 1999.  Results of the trials will be published in December 1999.
