About Cybermoor
Cybermoor (CYB) is a social enterprise located in Alston, in the North Pennines – UK. The remoteness of the community lead to the establishment of Cybermoor in 2002, providing training, broadband and PCs to improve access to services and overcome isolation. In 2007, Cybermoor established the Alston Healthcare project, which focused on developing telehealth and telemedicine services for the local community, in conjunction with the local community hospital and medical practice. This lead to successful telehealth projects with local residents. We work with other NGOs to recruit test users for projects and have also carried out usability testing. The team have been involved in other projects supported by the European Commission and this has provided a good understanding of partnership working.
