51: NHS Insights Prioritisation Programme (NIPP) episode 1 - Digital monitoring

In this edition we discuss how digital monitoring is making a difference and hear the experiences of three guests. Hear a conversation that navigates through the healthcare disparities highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and moves on to discuss the critical role played by NHS NIPP in evaluating innovative projects, revealing that overcoming cultural acceptance challenges is more pivotal than financial or technological hurdles in healthcare innovation. The discussion includes real-world examples from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) Oxford and Thames Valley, Health Innovation Oxford and Thames Valley's virtual stroke clinics, and NIHR ARC Wessex and Health Innovation Wessex's exploration of remote monitoring for frailty in an aging population. A theme throughout is how adopting digital monitoring innovations is a team game, requiring a balanced approach between virtual and face-to-face care, and understanding what’s most important to patients, carers and doctors.In conversation with Nigel Thompson are:Dr David Kryl, Director of Insight at Health Innovation WessexDr Jennifer Lynch, Senior Research Fellow and project lead at the National Institute for Health and Care Research Applied Research Collaboration East of England (NIHR ARC East of England).Tracey Marriott, Director of Clinical Innovation Adoption, Health Innovation Oxford and Thames Valley
