Have your say about the future of remote health monitoring at home as part of the University of Glasgow study with Howz.

Howz have completed a trial in Salford order to establish whether monitoring older people's daily routine could help them to feel better about living in the community after being discharged from hospital.

A key focus of the study was how this type of service could be used to improve the care provided by an NHS clinical service or Social Care Service.

‘Anything that can be done to lessen the burden and requirements on individuals to have to interact in a formal sense with the technology and the less intrusive on their everyday life this is, the more likely there will be a positive and cooperative relationship between technology and care’

“We are generally desperate to move medically fit patients out of hospital”

“The role of technology is fundamental to the success of treating patients in any healthcare setting in the NHS whether it’s from structuring their notes, arranging investigations, monitoring remotely or undertaking life-saving procedures”

“I'd say adoption only really happens when the tech is distinctly the answer to a business/service problem in H&C... instead of starting with the tech then looking for the problem.”

“If there is one hurdle to overcome in digital transformation; it is the desire to “boil the ocean”. Sometimes the task can be so immense, driven by the interconnected world we live in, with so many competing priorities that it’s a question of what is achievable in what order.”
