We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have won the ‘Best Healthcare Technology Solution of the Year’ Category in the Health Tech Digital Awards 2024 for our Surgical Workflow Application! This is such an immense accolade for us as a relatively new business, and we are thrilled to have been named as the winner in such a fantastic category at these prestigious awards. Our (now award-winning!) surgical checklist solution has been developed in accordance with the #WHO, #LocSSIPs and #NatSSIPs checklists, alongside surgical clinicians, Heads of Governance and ICUs following discussions regarding surgical safety checklists. It enables the verbal recording of any checklist before, during and after a procedure, instantly recording and uploading notes to the patient record directly from the point of care. By using voice commands, the solution guides teams through a specific procedure via a set list of questions, continually capturing critical procedural and patient information and #data to ensure 100% #compliance and standardisation, accurate, accessible record-keeping and the elimination of human factor issues to enhance and improve positive patient outcomes. Many thanks to everyone on the judging panel - we really couldn't be happier! We would also like to pass on our congratulations to all the other winners.

Digital transformation is reshaping the healthcare landscape, bringing with it opportunities for innovation and improved patient outcomes. At Medial Health, we're committed to harnessing the power of technology to drive meaningful change in the way healthcare is delivered. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are at the core of this transformation. By enabling quick access to patient records and securely sharing information with clinicians, we facilitate more coordinated, efficient care. Our EHR systems also promote legible documentation, reducing medical errors and providing safer care. Beyond patient safety, digital transformation helps providers improve productivity and work-life balance. By streamlining workflows and simplifying administrative tasks, healthcare professionals can focus more on what truly matters—caring for patients. #HealthcareInnovation #EHR #DigitalTransformation #MedialHealth #PatientCare #HealthTech

Unlocking NHS patient data has the power to transform UK care and research. But the system isn't working, and the UK is missing out. To fix it, the Government must do two things in parallel:   1️⃣ Design an ambitious new strategy to make proper use of patient #data, realising its value for the benefit of patients and the NHS. This will need careful deliberation and wide engagement, and we urge the Government to take time to get it right. This is too important to fail.   2️⃣ Address urgent priorities now:   🔸 Prioritise ongoing engagement with the public 🔸 Review and reform the opt-out model 🔸 Unlock access to primary care data for research 🔸 Resource Secure Data Environments (SDEs) to speed up access 🔸 Maximise use of patient data for clinical trial recruitment   Read more in our new ‘Unlocking patient data to transform research and care’ briefing. https://bit.ly/3VZBm4C

📢 What do the party manifestos say about medical technology? Unsurprisingly the two main parties have a lot to say about the role of medical and digital technology in the future of the NHS. The Conservatives have pledged £3.4 billion of investment in health technology, promising to make the NHS app ‘the single front door’, expand their Pharmacy First model, and support remote consultations and diagnostics. Labour has also pointed to the opportunities in digital health. Wes Streeting, the Shadow Health Secretary, previously told The Times that he wants to put patients “in charge of their own healthcare” through a revamped NHS app. The party has also emphasised the importance of accelerating the adoption of new medical technologies by cutting red tape and streamlining procurement processes. But what might these proposals look like in more detail – and how best to make them work? 💡 The creation of a single pathway for medical technology The MTG has called for procurement processes of proven and effective medical technology to be improved. Our last procurement report found that innovators seeking to bring their products to the health service are still facing a lengthy and complex process. We recommended the creation of a single pathway that would enhance the weighting given to value within the assessment process for medical technologies, particularly on the value to the patient and longer term savings. We also called for effective payment mechanisms to support the spread of approved technologies within the NHS - ensuring equitable access to medical technologies for patients across the country. 💡 Learning from the best In a Question Time special Keir Starmer alluded to this by saying that he would “hit the ground running” by rolling out initiatives that have helped high performing hospitals drive down waiting lists. In a series of reports, the MTG has tried to determine which areas of the country have worked through the backlog most effectively - identifying areas like Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust where shared referral pathway has helped it become one of the top performers in the country. But this best practice has to be incentivised and driven by centralised initiatives. NHS England’s Clinical Entrepreneur Programme provides a good model for putting this vision into practice. When we spoke with its founder Tony Young he gave two useful insights into implementing innovation. Firstly you have to focus on the capacity and capability of the system. It’s important to focus on the changes to a pathway, changes to patient experiences and also the changes to what staff have to do. Secondly, the population isn’t uniform. Different areas have different population health priorities and needs. You can’t test and uptake everything at once. When considering scale we should all work towards a system where the right innovation is available for those who need it most. hashtag #medtech #healthpolicy https://mtg.org.uk/2340-2/

It's not been an easy few years for digital health innovators to grow their businesses, or for NHS organisations to commission them, and it might get worse before it gets better. There are more vendors chasing contracts than ever, more noise in the system, and nowhere near enough revenue available in the UK for our best startups and scale-ups to thrive. There are also cuts in funding when there should be increases e.g. the NHS AI Lab (see below) despite the pressing need for more evaluation, scale and adoption of AI into our systems. A few firms will win disproportionately more of the support than they deserve leaving relatively less for others. Accelerators will select more mature firms as they're easier to support (and more likely to win contracts). VCs will increasingly reject ventures for being too focused on the NHS. Some firms will fall into distress, if they aren't already. Many will layoff more of their people in an effort to tighten belts again without wishing to entertain a down round. A small percentage of firms will sheepishly announce their acquisitions, and mask how close they were to closing before being bought for a fraction of their previous valuations. Even big agencies are feeling the pinch. Good salespeople and experienced bid teams aren't going to be enough. This will turn firms and investors away from those targeting the NHS/UK market, and even our innovators will increasingly view foreign markets as desirable. My warning comes with some predictions; namely that we will see more startups willing to innovate on their business models to win traction (e.g. risk sharing, volume-based pricing, offering equity to NHS Trusts etc.), and there will inevitably be more innovators applying serious effort in finding new markets abroad. Elite NHS centres (which have always been more capable of revenue generation to withstand financial pressures) will collaborate more with industry and push further into international markets. Therefore the next few years will see 3 skillsets stand out: 1) Those who can support startups to scale reliably (including market access, and support to raise pre-seed/seed investment) 2) Those who can guide scale-ups to expand internationally (particularly into the USA and Saudi Arabia) 3) Those who can help health systems to commercialise their capabilities and assets appropriately for patient and system benefit, especially around real world data (RWD), public-private partnerships, and international collaboration. There really is a wealth of talent in the country, but really not that many people who excel at any one of the above, vanishingly few who can genuinely offer 2, and if you can find someone who has all 3 skillsets, then hold onto them tightly- they're special. It will be a bumpy few years ahead, whoever is in 10 Downing Street. https://lnkd.in/e-sQQYvD
