One of the most popular TV channels in Bulgaria “bTV” aired a documentary related to the project BeyondSilos in Bulgaria. The documentary involved a lady, Ms. Karapeneva, participating in the project and one of the ladies from the Center for Protection of the Rights in the Healthcare (CPRH) working in the Call Center. Ms. Karapeneva explains before the cameras, that since she has been included in BeyondSilos she feels more relaxed and has a sense of security that her health is observed. During the documentary she activates the panic button that signals a dangerous condition. The reporters trace the connection to the call center where the measurement results of her vital signs are sent to.
