Remote patient monitoring is a cornerstone of the government’s 10-year plan to get the NHS 'fit for the future'. It could support earlier detection of health problems, better assessment of treatment response, and more proactive self-management.
While there have been promising examples of success, most initiatives to date have taken place as pilots or within research settings. As a result, remote monitoring largely remains an ambition rather than routine practice. Realising its potential depends on a well-connected health ecosystem, where policy makers, healthcare providers, academia, industry, and citizens collaborate to develop scalable, sustainable, and equitable solutions that integrate patient-generated data into electronic health records and clinical pathways.
In this Greater Manchester Ecosystem meeting, speakers from across the system will share perspectives on how we can move remote patient monitoring in the NHS from promise to practice.
Join Digital Futures and The University of Manchester, at the next the GM Connected Health Ecosystem series, and connect and collaborate with NHS and NHS-related staff, SMEs, academics and researchers, innovators, and those passionate about improving health and care!
