A membership service run and supported by MedilinkWM for private
companies working in the life sciences sectors has been expanded to
include products and services for manufacturers and suppliers to
the assisted living market.
The service, myM-Link, delivers access to business opportunities
and information services to its members, and a host of tangible
benefits that are tailored and dedicated to businesses operating in
the UKs assisted living market.
Alvolution is the division of MedilinkWM that is dedicated to
stimulating demand for assisted living technology, leading and
driving the assisted living market, to create better products to
deliver quality healthcare. By promoting the role of partnership,
best practice and modern technology to support independent living,
Alvolution continues to help in the delivery of cost-effective,
user-friendly solutions that address the looming crises of an aging
population.
Rob Chesters, Manager of Alvolution, says: "Helping improve life
at home for those with disabilities and long-term healthcare needs
represents a major challenge to manufacturers of Assisted Living
technology. Estimates indicate that in the UK, the number of people
aged 65 or over will rise from 9.3 million to 16.8 million over the
next fifty years. This market is clearly growing and at the same
time becoming more developed and as it does, there are an
increasing number of commercial opportunities exposed.
"Alvolution's myM-Link service presents a specialist service for
manufacturers and businesses already serving the Assisted Living
market, or indeed keen to break into this dynamic and growing
sector, so that they may play a part in improving the lives of the
elderly and those living with long-term health conditions. It
enhances the fundamental objectives at the heart of the work of
Alvolution - to bring technology to this rapidly growing element of
the population, with the focus on helping them maintain
independence and manage their health, in their own home.
"For product and service providers for the Assisted Living
sector, myM-Link delivers real benefits and medical market
intelligence as part of an organisation's strategic business
plans."
Alvolution Collaboration Manager Alison Mlot, adds: "The
myM-Link service is already proven in other key sectors within the
life sciences market, and it is excellent news for the Assisted
Living sector that this is now also available to them. The service
tailors its support to the needs of individual members, from
monthly news, opinions and updates, to mutually beneficial link-ups
with potential suppliers, partners or customers. The service can
also extend to notifications of tender opportunities and alerts of
commercial opportunities."
