The West Midlands Academic Health Science Network (WMAHSN), which leads the collaboration between academia, industry, health and care providers and the public, has released its annual impact report, highlighting some incredible healthcare innovations that have come out of the West Midlands during the most challenging year in history for the UK’s health and care system.
671 sites using innovations across the West Midlands, 500 patients benefitting from a new Emergency Laparotomy pathway and 15,906 being diagnosed with heart conditions and bringing in more than £4 million worth of investment.
Key innovations highlighted in the report are:
Dignio - a digital remote care solution and mobile app for the management of COVID-19 patients, which aims to improve the care of those self-isolating. The app helps patients stay at home safely and avoid unnecessary admissions to hospital as well as alerting clinical staff of those more seriously ill who need prompt admission.
Tony Davis, Director of Innovation & Commercial at the WMAHSN, said: “We are confident that the WMAHSN will continue to positively impact on the health and wellbeing of patients and populations at a local, regional and national level, as we emerge from what has been a challenging year for all and step forward into what could be the most innovative period the sector has ever seen.”
