Abstract:
The project will develop an end-to-end information and communications technology (ICT) system enabling citizens to automatically monitor their vital health parameters and to transmit the information to a centralised information repository that can be securely accessed by healthcare professionals nationwide. The project brings together world leading expertise in the UK in the area of biomedical sensor interfaces, commercial middleware for wireless edge processing, and healthcare systems integration based on health level 7 (HL7) standards and the National Programme for IT (NPfIT). To achieve the aim of a pilot implementation at the conclusion of this project, the partners will focus on chronic disease management: particularly heart failure, as advised by the North West Strategic Health Authority (NWSHA) of London.
The system will be designed so that it can be readily extended and scaled for other chronic diseases.
