- Abstract:
- This paper, commissioned by the Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs), looks at four digital innovations in health services from the UK and the Nordic countries: the TeleCare North programme to provide remote treatment for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); the Patients Know Best portal and electronic health record; remote diabetes monitoring for children at Helsinki University Hospital; and the Huoleti app for connecting patients with a support network. The case studies were selected following discussions with participants in the UK government's conference on digital health innovation for the Northern Future Forum in 2019.
