Fighting climate change

Our intervention contributes to the NHS Net Zero carbon reduction programme through reduction in emissions:
- Reducing the number of in person visits
- Reduction in staff travel to appointments
- Improved business processes through pathway redesign
- Reduction in the use of medicines as a result of more precise interventions and fewer complications -
Reductions in in-patient hospital visitor numbers
- Care being delivered closer to home.

Covid-19 recovery

By implementing our services we enable our clients to:
- Reduce their waiting lists
- Reduce the number avoidable appointments with clear signals of where patients are in need.
- Reduce the number of outpatient visits
- Help reduce admissions
- Reduce number of overnight stays per year.
- Reduce the number of helpline phones calls
- Carry out follow up appointments virtually.

We always target 10:10:10 and a 6x payback:
- 10% reduction in appointment numbers
- 10% reduction in call numbers
- 10% Reduction in waiting lists

But we often achieve more, for example:
- Reduced waiting times from 3 weeks to 1 week to start medication.
- Helpline calls down by 42.8%
- 87.5% reduction in weekly medication clinics (from 4 hours to 30 minutes)
- 62% of new start patients educated remotely through the app, and only 8% needed a phone call 
- 75% reduction in rheumatology medication appointments
- £110,000 of savings in a colonoscopy unit undertaking 5000 procedures a year.

Tackling economic inequality

Traditional diagnosis pathways are slow and require multiple visits to hospital. This requires time off work which has an impact on patients and carers. We reduce the demands on patients and their carers.

The cost of living crisis also impacts the cost of fuel which can be avoided with this technology.

Equal opportunity

Health inequalities are avoidable, unfair, and systematic differences in health between different groups of people. Our work supports ‘Core20PLUS5’ and the ‘NHS long term plan’ in tackling inequalities and improving health outcomes for our population.
- We promote equal and greater access to high-quality care by offering it to a wider population and reaching patients in remote areas.
- Our aim is to enable you to provide the same overall service independent of background potential inequalities/barriers and to support hard to reach audiences.
- Reduces translation costs and enables you to deploy valuable clinical to other areas of care.
- Provides information to people with low literacy skills and in deprived communities in a multimedia format to aid understanding.
- Supports people from ethnic minority communities with information in their preferred language.
- Content available to address the 5 clinical areas of focus.- We promote equal and greater access to high-quality care by offering it to a wider population.
- The aim is to provide the same overall service independent of background potential inequalities/barriers
- The technology will reach patients in remote areas.
- By implementing this technology, valuable clinical time can be redeployed to other areas of care.

Wellbeing

We believe that an educated patient is a better patient who makes less demand on their health system, and who is more independent and more confident in managing their conditions and treatments.

We deliver well-being through education and information and by enabling patients to be supported remotely at times when they are greatest need.
