The NHS: The Rise Of The Robotic Workforce

Echoing Mr Topol's suggestion of greater stakeholder involvement in the development of medical applications, the role of low-code and no-code applications will come to the fore. In my previous blog, I spoke about low-code/no-code software, whereby staff drag-and-drop application components, connect them together and create a mobile or web app. These tools can empower staff in every department to be able to create their own internal applications to suit their needs, without writing any code or needing to bother the already stretched IT departments. These so-called "citizen developers", will have the means to create robust applications in a safe, scalable environment that has all of the tooling and procedures to ensure appropriate security, testing and sign-off as part of the NHS's Digital Transformation program.
