Centre for Telehealth

Hull is bringing together telehealth expertise from academia, primary and acute care, local authorities, industry and third sector partners to develop the new service concepts in telehealth that will form the future basis for telehealth service delivery in the NHS and elsewhere.

We offer a range of services to healthcare providers and industry, supported by our research and educational expertise. Our services are available individually or as combined telehealth packages that combine tested clinical service models with assessed technology to present beginning-to-end telehealth solutions based around specific clinical need.
