Less than five months after the public launch of its Help at Hand mobile care service, O2 UK has decided to close the m-health service down.
O2 Help at Hand was launched online and in shops on 5th March, having previously just been available via the NHS and local authorities. Customers received a mobile phone that offered GPS tracking, could automatically detect if the user fell and also had an ‘emergency’ button to contact a 24-hour support centre.
