The ageing UK population is putting an enormous strain on the NHS. As the population growsolder, the number of people living with a long-term condition (LTC) that affects their healthincreases steadily. The proportional costs to the NHS in treating these conditions isstaggering: 70% of the entire NHS budget is spent managing the LTC’s of 30% of thepopulation. Monetarily, this amount was calculated to be £77bn per year spent managing15.4m patients.As 80% - 90% of all care for people with LTCs is undertaken by patients and their families,improvements in self-management methods will result in a reduced number of GP visits andadmissions to hospital, and increased compliance with treatment regimens. This project willdevelop a prototype system to monitor biometric signs, such as blood pressure and oxygensaturation levels, and transmit the information back to the NHS, to aid management of longtermconditions (LTCs) and improve patient outcomes, whilst reducing costs of care.To achieve this, Spirit Healthcare (SH) will build upon a successful system, the ‘Clinitouch’,which they have already implemented in Leicester for the management of 50 patients withchronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). This trial proved that Clinitouch was able toreduce emergency hospital admissions by 65-95%, saving in excess of £353,000 in 26 weeksby averting 87 hospital admissions. It was so successful that SH have been commissioned toroll out the service to more patients across Leicester.SH will transform their Clinitouch patient interface platform from a bulky and cumbersomeunit into an intuitive platform that will run on a tablet computer that interfaces (via Bluetooth)with various biometric-monitoring peripherals. For the purposes of this development ofprototype project, SH will target patients with COPD or diabetes. If the 65% reduction inunplanned admissions was achievable on a national basis, the £407m bill for unplannedCOPD admissions would reduce to £142m.

英国人口老龄化给NHS带来了巨大的压力。随着人口的增长，患有影响其健康的长期疾病（LTC）的人数稳步增加。NHS治疗这些疾病的成本比例是惊人的：整个NHS预算的70%用于管理30%人口的LTC。从货币角度来看，这一数额经计算为每年花费770亿英镑管理1540万名患者。由于80% - 90%的LTC患者护理是由患者及其家属承担的，自我管理方法的改进将减少全科医生就诊和住院的次数，并提高对治疗方案的依从性。该项目将开发一个原型系统，用于监测生物特征，如血压和氧饱和度水平，并将信息传回NHS，以帮助管理长期状况（LTC）并改善患者结果，同时降低护理成本。为了实现这一目标，Spirit Healthcare（SH）将建立在一个成功的系统“Clinitouch”基础上，他们已经在莱斯特对50名慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者实施了该方法。这项试验证明，Clinitouch能够减少65- 95%的急诊入院率，在26周内通过避免87次入院而节省了超过353，000英镑。它是如此成功，SH已委托推出服务，以更多的病人在莱斯特。SH将其Clinitouch病人界面平台从一个庞大的和笨重的单位变成一个直观的平台，将运行在平板电脑上，接口（通过蓝牙）与各种生物特征监测外设。为了开发原型项目，SH将针对COPD或糖尿病患者。如果在全国范围内减少65%的计划外入院率，那么4.07亿英镑的计划外COPD入院费用将减少到1.42亿英镑。
