UKTHC November Digital

MarketPlace & Falls Panel

(11.00-13.00) Tuesday 23rd November 2021

 

 Detection – Medication – Prevention

We would like to thank our three presenters from Legrand, Easylink and Yourmeds for introducing a range of innovative ideas and equipment to address the prevention and detection of falls.  All three presenters then joined Phil Bridges (Oyster Technology) who chaired the panel secession together with Aaron Edwards (Tec Cymru), Tracy Downes (Tunstall Healthcare) and James Lampert (NRS).

Over eighty-five delegates registered for the event which made for a highly interactive discussion with the panel which included the topics of prescription compliance, data analytics, proactive and preventative technologies, working with blue light services, responders and the impact of the analogue to digital transition.

Unfortunately one of our presenters, Kristian Knight from Medequip, was coincidentally called away to assist a faller minutes before the event commenced. The Medequip presentation is available for viewing below, and we would like to thank James Lampert from NRS who very kindly stepped in at the last minute to replace Kristian.

UKTHC September Digital MarketPlace

Our latest UKTHC Digital MarketPlace event was again very well attended with some very informative presentations and a lively, interactive panel session. Due to technical issues the MedPage Easylink presentation had to be cancelled but this will be rescheduled at a future event.

The second part of the programme covered panel session Falls Prevention and Detection chaired by Phil Bridges (Oysta) with an introductory presentation from Aaron Edwards from Cardiff Council around their work on falls.

The panel covered a wide range of issues, from the importance of detecting and responding to falls swiftly (golden hour) to improve patient recovery and cost savings from reducing hospital admissions and stays, to the use of assessment, data analytics and prescription compliance to address falls prevention.

There were also some interesting debates around providers’ use of various wearable fall detectors and passive monitoring sensors and systems.

Delegates were able to address questions to the panel both prior to and during the event and, given the high level of interest in the subject, we will include follow-up sessions on various aspects of this subject at future events.

UKTHC March Digital MarketPlace 2

“Interactive & lively!”: A note of thanks from Oysta’s Mario Zuccaro

Being a part of the UKTelehealthcare Panel on Tuesday 9th has been a pleasure and both Philip Bridges and I would like to thank everyone that joined us and contributed. It was an interactive and lively session – just what we were after!

Shifting the dialogue away from what the technology does to what vulnerable independent people (VIP) need, we were lucky enough to have colleagues from the manufacturing and service provision sectors with us, to add their thoughts to the ring.

We had some fantastic questions thrown at us from MarketPlace attendees, covering everything from what is important to VIPs to how we try to engage Government to support the TEC industry as a valued partner. Discussing how we deliver positive outcomes to the VIP as well as to the care providing organisation investing in the technology, we felt that we achieved a useful session with plenty of actions to progress.

Thanks once again for joining us. For further information on Oysta Technology, please visit: www.oysta-technology.com, and find us on LinkedIn, Twitter & Facebook.

Over thirty of our supplier members exhibited at our latest Digital Health and Care MarketPlace event on the 27^th November 2019 held in Partnership with Croydon Council at the newly opened Fairfield Halls in Croydon.  Joining the exhibitors were teams from Croydon Careline, Croydon Equipment Services and Croydon Vision.  This was the first time that Croydon had held such an event which attracted nearly two hundred delegates from the health and care industry, local businesses and members of the public.

We would like to thank Opama Khan (Head of Digital Place, Croydon Council) who opened the event and Matthew Catchpole (Assistive Technology Development Manager) and his team for supporting the event.  We would also like to thank Adam Bracegirdle and the Conference and Events Team from the Fairfield Halls who helped to make this event such a success.

Apart from being able to view the latest in digital technology on display, delegates were given the opportunity to attend three presentations: Care Technology Now and the Future – John Cruickshank, The Practical Benefits of Digital Telecare in the Real World – Tim Barclay, CEO Appello, and Home Monitoring Systems for Activities of Daily Living – Rachel Pollard, Canary Care.  All three presentations were well attended with lively Q&A sessions and links to the presentations can be found below.

We have had some really positive feedback from delegates, exhibitors and Croydon Council and look forward to supporting and working with the team at Croydon to develop their plans for delivering Digital Healthcare in the future.
