HTN Now: NHS Arden & GEM CSU on developments in home diagnostics - htn

For our HTN Now: Citizen Transformation event we were joined by Ben Panton, Senior Digital Partnership Manager for NHS Arden and GEM Commissioning Support Unit, for a discussion on developments in home diagnostics, with focus on the latest trial plans and patient reactions and perceptions around remote diagnostics and artificial intelligence. Ben began by establishing some background information on NHS Arden and GEM CSU, explaining that they work with over 90 organisations across health and care systems such as local authorities, ICBs, trusts and primary care services. "I'm particularly focused on the digital transformation side of things," he said. "I've been in post for around six months now, working with colleagues across our digital and IT teams. Our particular focus within digital transformation service redesign has been working with potential partners such as the ICBs, to really understand their digital priorities and challenges, and how digital solutions can potentially mitigate some of the challenges that are being faced by the NHS, social care, and local authorities."
