What do I think about #virtualwards being listed as #2 in the BBC's "Top 6 schemes that could help save the NHS"? After a decade of work in healthcare innovation, I'm not surprised. But what was really interesting to me was the extent to which Remote Patient Monitoring technology - the devices, apps and dashboards the facilitate Virtual Wards - can supercharge, or are supercharged by, the other initiatives on the list. I've sketched out some ideas below - let me know if you think I'm on target or overstepping... The link to the excellent #BBC roundup by Nick Triggle is in the comments. 1. Tests and scans in shopping centres: The BBC article mentions a new wave of diagnostic centres created in high footfall areas like shopping centres. Remote screening of at-risk populations via digital technologies can speed this process up further, by pre-screening for risk factors such as oxygen saturation levels, heart irregularities, blood pressure, spirometry, weight, lifestyle or family histories. THEN you can get to your new local screening centre. 2. Surgery hubs: High productivity elective surgery hubs have been a big success story of the last few years. However, unfit patients are still one of the largest sources of same-day surgical cancellations, and this is one of the biggest levers we have to fight the elective backlog. Tracking patient behaviour and vital signs before an operation is proven to improve compliance with pre-surgery conditioning, meaning more patients turn up fit to be operated on - and if their vital signs mean they are unfit to be operated on, operating theatres find out days in advance and can book another patient in. 3. Rapid discharge teams: High-performing rapid discharge teams are essential for Virtual Wards. Whilst Virtual Wards helps many patients to be discharged safely than would otherwise be possible, many will require some form of care at home. Rapid Discharge Teams are the unsung heroes in the Virtual Wards revolution! 4. Prescribing dance and arts: The insights you get into patients' lifestyles through long-term remote patient monitoring is incredible, and help clinicians make social prescriptions that have an outsize benefit on patients quality of life. For instance, we have been able to make positive changes to patients' diets, exercise regimes, and mental health through targeted social prescribing as a result of our tech-enabled health coaching & remote monitoring services in Bristol. 5. Lung cancer screening trucks: This harkens back to the "Tests and scans in shopping centres" approach: Remote Monitoring tech can help pre-screen those most at risk of lung cancer by sending relevant tests to their doors. And during cancer treatment pathways, Remote Monitoring is a fantastic technology to help patients - who will tend to have compromised immune systems - avoid unnecessary, draining trips to the Hospital, and provide care and reassurance at one of the most challenging and stressful moments.

1. Title: “Wellness Communications and Frequency Dynamics in Hospital Environments: A Comprehensive Analysis” Abstract: This article explores the intricate dynamics of wellness communications within hospital environments, focusing on how frequency-based interactions influence patient care, staff efficiency, and overall hospital dynamics. The study examines the role of color-coded communication, the impact of biological signals, and the integration of holistic wellness practices in fostering effective healthcare delivery. 1. Introduction Effective communication is crucial in healthcare settings, where clarity and precision can significantly impact patient outcomes and staff performance. This article delves into how frequency dynamics and color-coded signals contribute to wellness communication in hospitals, enhancing both patient and staff experiences. 2. Color-Coded Communication and Wellness Color-coded systems are widely used in hospitals to convey critical information quickly and efficiently. For instance, the use of pink in pediatric care uniforms symbolizes warmth and compassion, promoting a comforting environment for young patients. Similarly, the cobalt-blue signs on health service vehicles enhance visibility and trustworthiness. The psychological effects of these color choices are analyzed, highlighting their role in patient reassurance and staff cohesion. 3. Biological Signals and Frequency Dynamics Biological signals, such as metacarpal rhythms and physiological responses, play a significant role in healthcare interactions. This section investigates how staff and patient biological dynamics align with frequency-based communication strategies. The study includes an examination of how rhythmical patterns in staff movements and patient responses contribute to overall wellness and operational efficiency in hospital settings.

Ep 2 of Corridor Consults (brought to you from a shiny conference room at Bruntwood SciTech): Sadly I couldn't make it to the Future Health at BMJ Group conference in London, but I had the privilege of attending the pro-manchester Health Tech conference today. I leave feeling very proud to live and work in Manchester - one of the world's first great, industrial cities - home to the first NHS hospital and the first region in England to take ownership of its population health and care through devolution. It was an inspiring morning filled with brilliant panel discussions, and here are some of my key takeaways: - Releasing the power of data - Dr Gareth Thomas (an ICU consultant and Digital Innovation Director at Health Innovation Manchester ) highlighted how the NHS faces a triple deficit in finance, population health and performance. He shared how Greater Manchester's shared care record system is being used to identify individuals at greatest risk of certain conditions, allowing for tailored interventions for these groups. - “Trusts don’t trust each other” – a brilliant comment from Alistair Williamson (Lucid Group) highlighting the repetitive and tiresome nature of procurement, with businesses having to fill out the same forms for each NHS Trust. - "Adoption vouchers" – How do we prevent innovations from gathering dust on the (G-Cloud 14) shelf? How can we ensure they’re adopted beyond the feasibility stage? Mark Duman MRPharmS introduced the concept of ‘adoption vouchers’ to focus on scaling real-world solutions that deliver impact. It’s time to move away from our fascination with shiny ‘innovations’ and double down on adoption. - So what? Sam Holland from Quiddity Health emphasised the importance of aligning a company's value proposition with the NHS's well-publicized priorities, such as the Long-Term Plan and the Core20PLUS5 framework, to maximise the chances of successful procurement and meaningful adoption. You’ve got to speak NHS. - And my favourite part was hearing from clinicians at the coalface: 🩺 Dr Nabeel Arshad, a GP, shared how his surgery is reimagining care delivery for his patients. 👶🏾 Zoe Wright, a midwife and founder of The Real Birth Company, is empowering mothers with evidence-based antenatal education to address the health inequalities that put women of colour, particularly Black women, at greater risk of maternal mortality. 👾 Professor Ralph MacKinnon discussed how Health On Cloud Productions is creating immersive medical education experiences to improve healthcare worldwide. Events like these highlight that incredible innovations are happening on a local scale. I’d love to hear your thoughts, how can we move from pilot-itis to system-wide change across the nation? Forgot to snap a photo at the conference, so here's one of the great Northern outdoors! 100 brownie points to anyone who can name where the photo was taken.

The surge in funding for digital home healthcare and specialized physiotherapy services underscores the escalating demand for personalized care. The Indian home healthcare market's projected growth to $5.5 billion by 2027 at a CAGR of 24.4% aligns with Menon's observation that home healthcare is leveraging technology to address evolving patient preferences and the challenges of an ageing population. The shift in home care towards providing appropriate human resources enabled through technology. The increasing deployment of devices, including high dependency units, reflects a strategic focus on smarter healthcare delivery. Notably, the report anticipates a surge in demand for specialized physiotherapy, propelled by factors like post-surgery care and chronic pain management. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of home healthcare emphasizes the broader acceptance and integration of remote care solutions. I envision startups as catalysts revolutionizing continuum care, employing innovation and technology to bridge longstanding healthcare gaps. From telemedicine platforms facilitating remote consultations to AI-powered tools optimizing treatment pathways, startups are reshaping healthcare delivery dynamics. The surge in funding for these startups indicates a growing acknowledgment of their pivotal role in promoting innovation and accessibility in personalized medical services.

The demand for providing healthcare at a distance (that is, telemedicine or telehealth) has increased sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic. While intermittent in-clinic visits will remain an essential part of healthcare services, it is widely anticipated that there will be an increasing involvement of wearable devices in this process. In this Perspective, the article describes the main types of wearable and non-wearable technologies that hold promise for healthy aging and geriatric care. In addition the study suggests the challenges of translating this technology into broad clinical use, and outlines a prospective for a future in which such technologies are embedded in the healthcare landscape. #unitedseniorassociation #USA #eldercare #FDA #seniorliving #ADA #AI #NIH #patientcare #compliance #hospitals #OIG #healthcare #HHSOIG #digitalhealth #HSS #CMS #assistedliving #nursinghomes #seniorcare #medicare #seniorcitizen #homehealthcare #caregiver #dementia #inhomecare #seniorhealth #kloekorby #alzheimers #mentalhealth

Is it time for Smarter Home & Elder Care? India has over 200 million people over the age of 60 with 80% of them living with at least one chronic condition and 60% managing two.
