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员工队伍，以显著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站，将安装在药房，并可以指导患者通过使用护理点设备(峰值流量计、医疗仪、听诊器、脉搏血氧计和血压监测仪)进行安全可靠的自我检查。数字HCA将用于目前的远程医疗解决方案无法满足对负担得起和可靠的检查的需求的服务：*对包括哮喘、慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)和高血压(高血压)在内的慢性疾病的常规监测*对急性情况的初步评估我们的目标是通过消除在这些预约中需要临床医生在场来节省临床医生的时间和NHS的资金。我们将通过Medicpot迅速增长的250多家药店网络分发数字HCA，并将它们作为私人医疗服务和全科医生手术的资源提供，以使患者能够极其方便地访问。等待公共项目摘要

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
