Remote patient monitoring is central to the biggest NHS catch-up programme in history

The NHS has started the biggest catch-up programme in its history – and remote patient monitoring can play a central role in helping the health service to recover from the worst pandemic in a century.

Announcing the government’s recovery plan, the prime minister promised “radical innovation” in the NHS to improve the speed and quality of care with better diagnostic services, designated surgical facilities, faster GP access to specialists and, most importantly from our perspective, “new digital technology so doctors can monitor patients remotely in their homes”.

Remote monitoring supports patients at home, reduces the risk of Covid infection, increases capacity in hospitals and limits unnecessary travel, helping to decarbonise the NHS.

At Inhealthcare, we stepped up during the coronavirus crisis to support frontline workers and vulnerable patients with remote monitoring and digital health services. Now we are proud to be supporting the NHS during the recovery with the expansion of services for Covid patients at home and people living with long-term conditions such as hypertension, respiratory disease, atrial fibrillation and diabetes.

In collaboration with NHS partners, we are deploying cost-effective services at speed and scale to improve patient outcomes and increase capacity in the healthcare system.
