UK-Developed Wireless Patient Monitoring Technology Offers Proven Solution to Alleviate NHS Crisis

As the NHS faces unprecedented pressure this winter from record demand and soaring costs, Isansys Lifecare offers a crucial lifeline through its innovative Patient Status Engine (PSE). This real-time, wireless patient monitoring platform enables early detection, remote monitoring, and proactive interventions that can alleviate the strain on NHS resources while ensuring high-quality patient care.

The PSE provides continuous, accurate real-time data on patients' vital signs, enabling healthcare providers to make informed decisions and take timely actions to prevent medical emergencies. This technology empowers the NHS to respond rapidly to changing patient conditions, helping to reduce hospital admissions and prevent overcrowding in A&E departments.

Recent data from the NHS Confederation revealed that 31 out of 42 integrated care systems are operating with deficit plans, placing immense pressure on decision-makers. The Patient Status Engine offers a powerful solution by enabling hospitals, urgent care providers, and social enterprises to monitor patients outside traditional hospital settings. This approach helps alleviate the burden on overworked A&E departments, ambulance services, and GP practices, while keeping patients safe at home or in community care environments.

Key Benefits of the Patient Status Engine:

• Real-Time Data for Early Intervention: Continuously monitors vital signs and bedside activity, allowing for timely interventions and reducing unnecessary hospital admissions.
• Reduced Hospital Admissions: Remote monitoring helps prevent avoidable hospital stays, freeing up beds and easing overcrowding.
• Support for Integrated Care Systems: Provides a cost-effective method for managing patient care, improving resource allocation, and enhancing outcomes in both acute care settings and at home.
• Enhanced Urgent Care Management: Assists social enterprises in managing high patient volumes efficiently, thereby reducing pressure on ambulances and A&E services.

Keith Errey, CEO of Isansys Lifecare, said: "With healthcare demand surging and costs climbing, the need for real-time patient data has never been more urgent. Our Patient Status Engine represents the future of healthcare, delivering critical, real-time insights that enable healthcare providers to manage patients more effectively across hospitals, homes, and community settings.

"Although the PSE has proven effective in wireless patient monitoring, it has yet to see widespread adoption within the NHS. However, the PSE provides substantial long-term value by offering essential tools that can significantly reduce the strain on NHS resources and elevate the standard of patient care. This technology not only enhances patient safety and saves lives but also contributes to financial sustainability by optimising resource use and improving overall care quality.

"Internationally, healthcare providers have demonstrated that the PSE’s capabilities - such as early detection, remote monitoring, and proactive interventions - can ease resource constraints while ensuring high-quality care. These benefits have led to increased efficiencies and, in private organisations, even enhanced profitability. It’s time for the NHS to embrace these advantages to address current challenges and improve patient outcomes.”
