Finnish telecomms solutions provider Nokia said on Tuesday (7 February) that care organisation Allevo is enhancing the delivery of home health care with Nedap's iO TouchPro solution, a combination of the iO concept for Care registration and Nokia Field Force Solution.

Allevo Home Care Institute's 700 employees are using the RFID technology to improve the delivery of service to its patients across the Netherlands, according to Nokia.

In the iO concept every client is provided with a contact free chip card when they become Allevo clients. At each visit the nurse touches the chip card using a Nokia 3220 phone with RFID reader to register their visit, thus eliminating the time needed to fill in forms.

In addition the nurse has secure access to the most up-to-date information on the client, allowing them to focus on delivering care, Nokia said.
