What ’ s next ?
Following the initial success made possible by the local health innovation network for Yorkshire and the Humber , the technology is being successfully rolled out in other parts of the UK , empowering patients to self-care , in turn helping to reduce unnecessary clinical appointments , reduce unplanned admissions to A & E and improve patient experience .
“ All the health innovation networks are really focused on helping organisations like us spread adoption of innovation , particularly through sourcing funding , understanding the need , using data to be evidence-based , and driving scalability . All of the things that could get in the way of adoption and spread . The ‘ secret sauce ’ is people . That ’ s at the heart of all innovation and change , and Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber has the relationships with the people on the ground that can really be the catalyst to make these scalable changes happen .”
