CONDOR
The public awareness of selfdiagnosis has been driven by the need to test for coronavirus . The introduction of new , rapid tests carried out in the home , generated the need to be able to test the effectiveness of these new , commercial test kits .
The
CONDOR programme looks at the performance of COVID-19 diagnostics in different clinical settings , as well accelerating their ‘ real-world ’ use .
We have contributed to this work by ensuring the views of patients and the public were considered in all stages of this programme , to help inform the thinking and decision making , providing an opportunity to take a more patient centred approach to health and care delivery . We organised patient and public group meetings with senior members of the CONDOR research team , including two events with a total of 30 participants and two steering groups .
Evaluating HN ’ s Clinical Coaching service
With a focus on effective treatment that centred upon the needs and wishes of individual patients , the Yorkshire & Humber AHSN was invited to independently
evaluate the impact of an AI guided clinical coaching model of care that supported people who had been identified as being at high-risk of needing urgent or unplanned care . The project involved engaging with 25 patients to gather their opinions and feedback about HN ’ s clinical coaching service and concluded with the publication of a report :
‘ Patient feedback on the benefits of artificial intelligence-guided clinical coaching ’.
This engagement activity has helped to improve the intervention and make the invitation to participate more appealing to those people with the greatest health and wellbeing needs .
This service is currently being provided in our region by HN Company who have developed the approach to help address the high demand on our hospital services by showing just how effective this approach can be .
The results of our evaluation work are cited , to support further funding bids by HN Company , and are incorporated into the review of current SBRI-funded programmes in Glasgow and York .
