Ingenica Loan is receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback from the NHS Trusts. Our intuitive new app technology is making the med tech management process faster, foolproof, and more efficient. NHS Trusts are telling us they had no visibility of how many loan kits they were using, until now. They have fed back how these costly kits were frequently getting ‘lost’ on their journey through the Trust to CSSD and that attempts to track them efficiently - carried out manually - were very time consuming. Kits are now tracked automatically, with the Ingenica Loan app providing concise, accurate data every step of the process. Any issues or hold ups can now be quickly identified, mitigating the risk of delay and the implication that has on patient care and outcomes. Ingenica Loan also integrates with existing finance systems for seamless PO creation and payments – another plus.

Aligning Healthtech Products with NHS Needs - An Age Old Question Healthtech companies have a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on the NHS, but alignment is key. Understanding the specific needs and challenges faced by the NHS is the first, and perhaps most difficult step. This means actively engaging with NHS staff and government decision-makers to gain insights into their daily operations, pain points and objectives. Regular consultations and feedback loops can ensure that the products developed are not only innovative but also practical and user-friendly which is key. Another crucial aspect is interoperability. The NHS uses a variety of systems and platforms (often pretty old), and any new technology must seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure. This reduces the learning curve for healthcare professionals and ensures that patient care is not disrupted. Some areas such as data security and compliance with UK regulations is non-negotiable, so Healthtech companies must prioritise patient confidentiality and data protection to maintain trust and meet legal requirements. Healthtech firms should consider scalability and long-term support. The NHS is a vast organisation (ranked in the top 10 employers globally) with diverse needs across different regions. Solutions that can be easily scaled and supported over time will be more attractive. Offering comprehensive training and ongoing support can also help in the smooth adoption of new technologies. #Healthtech #NHS #DigitalHealthcare #recruitment #healthcare
