Content ArticleA digital transformation is underway in healthcare and health technology. But what exactly do the smart hospitals of the future look like? Are we heading for a fully virtual health experience? Whether it’s AI and machine learning, or another form of innovation – it’s clear to see that health tech, and healthcare, is changing drastically. The words “smart hospital” and “virtual hospital wards” have eased their way into our vocabulary – and they will soon be the driving force of healthcare everywhere. So what would smart hospitals look like? And what should we be expecting between now and 2050? Health Tech World asked some of the leading experts in the field to give us their predictions as well as their expertise on what the healthcare of the next few decades will look like.

Content ArticleIn 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.

Content ArticleThere was a national roll out of ‘COVID Virtual Wards’ (CVW) during England's second COVID-19 wave (Autumn 2020 – Spring 2021). These services used remote pulse oximetry monitoring for COVID-19 patients following discharge from hospital. A key aim was to enable rapid detection of patient deterioration. It was anticipated that the services would support early discharge, reducing pressure on beds. This study from Georghiou et al. evaluated the impact of the CVW services on hospital activity. The study found no evidence of early discharges or changes in readmissions associated with the roll out of COVID Virtual Wards across England.
