Increasing primary healthcare capacity through a network of Digital Healthcare Assistants

我们的愿景是创建一支创新的数字化员工队伍，以大幅提高初级医疗保健能力并改变患者体验。该项目将研究和开发数字医疗助理（HCA）：一个高度可访问的智能临床工作站，将安装在药房，可以指导患者使用床旁设备（峰值流量计，medicam，听诊器，脉搏血氧仪和血压监测仪）进行安全可靠的自我检查。数字HCA将用于当前远程医疗解决方案无法满足负担得起和可靠检查需求的服务：* 慢性疾病的常规监测，包括哮喘，慢性阻塞性肺病（COPD）和高血压（高血压）* 急性疾病的初步评估我们的目标是通过消除临床医生在这些预约中的需求来节省临床医生的时间和NHS的资金。我们将通过Medicspot快速增长的250多家药店网络分发数字HCA，并将其作为私人医疗服务和全科医生手术的资源提供，为患者提供极其方便的访问。

Our vision is to create an innovative digital workforce that can dramatically increase primary healthcare capacity and transform the patient experience. This project will research and develop a Digital Healthcare Assistant (HCA): a highly accessible intelligent clinical station which will be installed in pharmacies and can guide patients through safe and reliable self-examination using point-of-care devices (peak flow meter, medicam, stethoscope, pulse oximeter and blood pressure monitor). The Digital HCA will be used for services where the need for affordable and reliable examination cannot be met by current telehealth solutions:* Routine monitoring of chronic conditions including asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Hypertension (High blood pressure)* Initial assessment of acute conditionsWe aim to save clinician time and NHS money by removing the need for a clinician to be present in these appointments. We will distribute the Digital HCAs through Medicspot's rapidly growing network of over 250 pharmacies and offer them as a private healthcare service and a resource to GP surgeries to enable extremely convenient access for patients.Awaiting Public Project Summary
