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.
We do this by:
- Assessing patient, professional and public understanding of attitudes to digital health technologies including: triage, artificial intelligence (AI), patient portals and patient held records.
- Working with NHS partners to facilitate the implementation of digital health.
- Develop ing and evaluating technologies that support self-management of long-term conditions.
- Developing and evaluating personalised apps to reduce risk behaviour.
- Identifing mechanisms that increase patient and professional adoption of digital health technologies and their impact.
- Understanding and addressing digital health inequities caused or exacerbated by introducing digital technology in health and care settings.
