AV-1 NO ISOLATION ROBOTS
Access to education
As part of our ongoing commitment to enhance cancer care for young people in our local areas, we are working with Norwegian innovators No Isolation to bring inspirational and life-changing technology to young patients, families and schools. We fund and maintain a small army of robots with the ambition to supply as many as is necessary to cover the needs of every child in our catchment area.
This very simple, ingenious technology allows young cancer and leukaemia patients to access their education during and after treatment – virtually attending school, socialising with classmates and remaining connected to their support networks and communities. We are the first charity to fund these life-changing robots in our local hospitals and schools and we are working hard to expand the use of this technology in the UK.
AV1 has undergone many safety tests to be approved and certified with the CE mark. The CE mark is an indication that a product has been tested by the manufacturer and that it fulfils all EU-wide requirements for safety, health, and environmental protection. It is mandatory for all products manufactured worldwide and marketed in the EU. No Isolation Ltd. has assured us that they could increase the signals AV1 sends by a factor of twelve and still comply with EU standards (1999/519/EC). This is based on all wireless signals that the AV1 can transmit (2G, 3G, 4G, WLAN 2.4 GHz/5 GHz and Bluetooth). We are not the manufacturers so unfortunately will not be able to provide any further information regarding this. Please visit No Isolation www.noisolation.com or contact them direct if you require further information.
“It was wonderful to witness how excited the school staff were to see the robot working and the dawning of the possibilities. Not every day do you get to see how you can change lives at a stroke. It’s not only life-changing for the patient; it was clear to me in such a vivid way that enabling her teacher, friends and classmates to interact with her, has a huge and positive impact. It was quite overwhelming to be honest.”
