Digital service to support isolated patient

Hundreds of thousands of Covid-19 sufferers have been admitted to hospital, often with no access to phones or personal devices. WithYou is a free digital service being created to support isolated patients by bringing together voice messages, image, song and music from their friends and family on one playable audio track.
The mixtape to warm your soul. 
Hundreds of thousands of Covid-19 sufferers have been admitted to hospital, often with no access to phones or personal devices. This means no contact with friends and family members. WithYou allows the collection of creative and expressive voicemails from a patient’s family and friends and sends them on to hospitals for patients to listen to at their bedside. 
“This could make the difference as to whether someone pulls through or not” 
Jo – Doctor at Cardiff Hospital 
Created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, WithYou is a free digital service that supports isolated patients by bringing together voice messages, image, song and music from their friends and family on one creative playable audio track. This Expanded Performance project will enable Trigger to develop the project further in order to enrich the experience for the user and patient, and to reach a wider audience. 
Recovery doesn’t have to be in isolation.
