The NHS has teamed up with leading technology companies in a series of nationwide trials to study how connected devices may be able to benefit older patients and those suffering from dementia, diabetes and mental illness.
Different combinations of connected technology will be employed in seven areas across the UK, allowing patients to monitor their own conditions at home, instead of going into a home.
The projects are part of the first wave of NHS Innovation ‘Test Beds’, launched at the World Economic Forum.
NHS chief executive Simon Stevens says technology will be at the forefront of health gains: “Over the next decade major health gains won’t just come from a few ‘miracle cures’, but also from combining diverse breakthroughs in fields such as biosensors, medtech and drug discovery, mobile communications, and AI computing.”
