Summary

In this webinar, Dr Matt Inada-Kim, Consultant Acute Physician, presents his idea for a COVID-19 virtual ward. Matt talks about using tools and information to empower people to monitor themselves at home so that they know when to ask for help.

Early recognition would improve the chances of survival, particularly where symptoms are less obvious but very serious with the potential for rapid deterioration, for example low oxygen levels. Matt uses a Remote Community Oximetry Care (RECOxCARE) model to frame his thinking.

    It would be interesting to compare whether less people go on to develop long covid in the areas that have piloted virtual wards/safety netting compared with regions that have not, Although it may be the case that people that are predisposed to long covid fall into a different subset to people who are likely to be admitted to hospital. However as a number of patients who sheltered at home during the first lockdown, experienced breathlessness/myalgia/chills/fatigue but were not monitored it, it seems to be a question worth asking.
