INFOGRAPHIC assessments , and safely monitor people ’ s health at home remotely , while being on the front foot to proactively spot signs of health decline before conditions require hospital treatment . Urinary Tract Infections have been identified as a key area where monitoring technology can help prevent hospital admissions .
According to the report , produced by economists at Policy Points , ‘ there is strong evidence that lifestyle monitoring technology can generate essential , big-ticket savings for both the NHS and for social care , creating a digital dividend by protecting scarce hospital resources at the same time as boosting the productivity of carers ’.
Kelly Hudson , Chief Executive Officer at Lilli , said : “ Right now , the people who need care are not getting the help that they should , and the problem will only get worse as the population ages . The numbers in this report speak for themselves . The savings and productivity figures highlight the profound difference that an investment in technology now would have not just on the system but on the lives of people up and down the country .”
Lifestyle monitoring technology Lilli is currently being used by multiple councils across the UK , including Islington , Nottingham and Reading , to enable people to live safely and independently at home .
Rebecca Andrew , Service Improvement Manager from Nottinghamshire County Council , said : “ The rollout of remote monitoring technology across Nottinghamshire allows our social care staff access to real time data , giving insights into a person ’ s behaviour over a period of time . This helps them to build a clear picture of what is going on in a person ’ s life and draw their attention to any potential change in their social care needs . This ensures we can put appropriate care and support in place that is personalised to the individual , and respond quickly to prevent crises , meaning fewer ambulance call outs and hospital admissions .”
The report goes on to explain how over the next ten years , the older population will ‘ grow by millions ’, increasing demand for its services , and for the health and care system to be sustainable , a commitment to overhauling the system at pace and scale is urgently needed . The alternative is a broken system that will continue to be reactive and is unable to meet the care needs of those who need it most .
