Medvivo

Medvivo is a provider of telehealth and related services based in Chippenham. It was bought by Moonray Healthcare, now Eight Roads Services (UK) Limited in 2013.

Wiltshire Medical Services was founded in 2004 in response to the change to the GP contract to run GP out of hours services for North Wiltshire Primary Care Group. It still runs the Out-of-hours service for Wiltshire.[1] It also runs an advice telephone line for health and social workers in Wiltshire[2] and Bexley’s emergency link line.[3]

Its service in Surrey is claimed to be the largest telehealth deployment in the country.[4]

The company acquired Medvivo Careline Limited,an alarm monitoring service formerly known as Magna Careline, in 2014 from the Magna Housing Group.

The company is said to be one of only two major UK players in the Telehealth Market.[5] It is part of the Argenti Telehealthcare partnership[6] which has a contract with Hampshire County Council for technology-based care.[7]

It is a member of the Innovation Council of the New Engineering Foundation.[8]

Medvivo was involved, with other agencies, in a human trafficking operation at a travellers' site in Semington in April 2015.[9]
