Bringing the best of mobile technology to Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
Were really excited to announce that weve agreed a five year partnership with Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, helping them make the most of the opportunity for mobile clinical applications to improve care. This is now our second NHS partnership for clinical apps, following a similar partnership we announced last month with the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.Over the last two years, the Trust has moved from paper to electronic patient records, and mobile technology is the natural next stage of this work. By giving clinicians access to cutting-edge healthcare apps that link to electronic patient records, theyll be able to access information on the move, react quickly in response to changing patient needs, and ultimately provide even better care.Well be working with the Trust to deploy our clinical app, Streams, which supports clinicians in caring for patients at risk of deterioration, particularly with conditions where early intervention can make all the difference. Like breaking news alerts on a mobile phone, the technology will notify nurses and doctors immediately when test results show a patient is at risk of becoming seriously ill. It will also enable clinicians at the Trust to securely assign and communicate about clinical tasks, and give them the information they need to make diagnoses and decisions.
