oximeter devices , smart scales and wearable activity trackers , along with seven-day-per-week telephone support .
We are introducing and supporting the implementation and evaluation of the tablet-based platform to enable patients who have been discharged following a cardiac event to continue rehabilitation and have their progress monitored from the comfort of their home . It is envisaged that this alternative approach to rehabilitation will increase uptake , reduce workforce pressures , improve equity of care and reduce the risk of further cardiac events for these patients .
Skin Vision
Skin Vision drives early detection of skin cancer by empowering individuals to self-check suspicious skin spots with their smartphone . Using a photo taken and uploaded by the patient , the app uses AI to risk stratify the skin condition , enabling patients at higher risk to be prioritised within the pathway .
Working with Barnsley Hospital , we identified that dermatology was an area for improvement and could benefit from the implementation of technology like Skin Vision to assist with a limited workforce and increasing demand .
