Digital Health Digital Health
We are applying rigorous methods to design, implement and evaluate new digital technology in the NHS to support disease prevention, self-management, integrated and personalised care.
Working with local health and care organisations, Health Innovation Manchester, the Greater Manchester Care Record and digital health companies for translation and scale-up, whilst leveraging outputs from:
Key Foci
- Evaluation of the roll-out of the Safe Medication dASHboard (SMASH) intervention across Greater Manchester. SMASH is a web application that was developed by the NIHR Greater Manchester Patient Safety Translational Research Centre. It shows pharmacists and GPs lists of patients that are potentially at risk from the medications they are prescribed. The intervention was successfully tested in Salford and is now being rolled out across all 10 localities in Greater Manchester. Our research will focus on addressing implementation barriers within different localities.
- Testing if the Patient Automated Triage and Clinical Hub Scheduling system (PATCHS) triage is safe and acceptable prior to use in clinical practice.
- Development and evalution of a scalable infrastructure or remote monitoring of long-term conditions, building on the Remote Monitoring in Rheumatoid Arthritis (REMORA) work. With an aim to support the future evaluation of improved patient outcomes with remote monitoring, improvements in needs-based assessment, and efficiency savings within outpatient services.
