What is Telehealth?
![Page 5: Telehealth: InTechnology’s new patient monitoring services for the NHS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c143d84a7959917f8b4630/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Remote monitoring of patients at home
Patients take readings at home – blood pressure, heart rate, etc. – which are then available for review remotely by the clinical team. Any deterioration in the patient’s condition can be quickly spotted and managed.

Does it make much difference?
![Page 7: Telehealth: InTechnology’s new patient monitoring services for the NHS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c143d84a7959917f8b4630/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
In short, yes!• The Department of Health launched the largest randomised control trial of telehealth in the world in
2008– 6191 patients and 238 GP practices
• The initial indications are striking. Patient groups with telehealth benefited from:– 15% reduction in A&E visits– 20% reduction in A&E admissions– 14% reduction in bed days– 45% reduction in mortality rates
• There is also feedback that suggests telehealth patients are more compliant to their treatments than non-monitored patients, which may explain some of the benefits

Why is Telehealth in the news at moment?
![Page 9: Telehealth: InTechnology’s new patient monitoring services for the NHS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c143d84a7959917f8b4630/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The burden on the NHS is expected to keep growing
• An aging population is driving increased need for health provision
– In Scotland alone, the 65+ population is increasing by 10,000 a year which means that by 2020 they will need 3 new hospitals
– At least 3 million people with Long Term Conditions and/or social care needs could benefit from using telehealth (Department of Health)
• There is no additional funding for NHS ; the status quo is not sustainable.
• There is an urgent need to increase the level of care provided outside hospitals and in the community

There is a public health time-bomb about to go off
There will be 18 million people in the UK by 2025 with a long term condition

How does InTechnology’s
Telehealth service work?
![Page 12: Telehealth: InTechnology’s new patient monitoring services for the NHS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c143d84a7959917f8b4630/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Clinician refers a patient for home monitoring
Patient is diagnosed with a
condition that needs long-term
monitoring
Clinician refers patient to
InHealthcare for monitoring
at home
![Page 13: Telehealth: InTechnology’s new patient monitoring services for the NHS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c143d84a7959917f8b4630/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. We install medical monitoring equipment at patient’s home and train them how to use it
![Page 14: Telehealth: InTechnology’s new patient monitoring services for the NHS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c143d84a7959917f8b4630/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Every day the patient takes their readings which are uploaded into the InHealthcare platform
![Page 15: Telehealth: InTechnology’s new patient monitoring services for the NHS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c143d84a7959917f8b4630/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
4. NHS Direct then review the patient’s data to see if everything is OK
![Page 16: Telehealth: InTechnology’s new patient monitoring services for the NHS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c143d84a7959917f8b4630/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
5. If something is wrong the patient’s clinician is immediately alerted so early action can be taken
![Page 17: Telehealth: InTechnology’s new patient monitoring services for the NHS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c143d84a7959917f8b4630/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why is InTechnology different?
![Page 18: Telehealth: InTechnology’s new patient monitoring services for the NHS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54c143d84a7959917f8b4630/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
As a telehealth provider, we are unique in the UK
1. We deliver a telehealth service, not a telehealth box.
– We take full responsibility for logistics so nurses can focus on care
2. We take responsibility for all the equipment
– No concerns about unused equipment sitting on shelves.
3. We deliver a bespoke service
– Designed to each NHS organisation’s requirements
4. We offer a hierarchy of telehealth services
– We start from £6 / patient / month which can reduce the average cost per patient by up to 80%.
5. We are constantly upgrading and adding new capabilities
– There is no chance of the service becoming out of date

SUMMARY• Telehealth is a powerful tool for the NHS to care for increasing numbers of
patients in their own homes
– Clinical trials have shown the potential of telehealth – such as a 45% reduction in mortality – if it is done correctly
– Telehealth should be a normal part of caring for someone in the community.
• Our approach is unique in the UK because we are service – not box – orientated
– We use open standards for system interoperability, and are technology agnostic so can use the best vendors available
• In short, we offer telehealth that delivers outcomes
