Patients: Wearable Technology
Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central) Tuesday 29th October 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure that the use of digital wearables in the NHS is accompanied by professional interventions. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Digital health technologies, including digital wearables, empower patients to manage their own health and get rapid access to peer support and clinical advice. Leveraging digital tools can improve the timeliness of interventions by helping frontline staff to provide high quality care and make the best use of their time. NHS England is working closely with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, and the Accelerated Access Collaborative to improve the process for digital health technologies to be adopted by the National Health Service, ensuring it sets robust but clear standards. As part of this work, NHS England is looking at how data from wearable devices can potentially be directed to and monitored by clinical staff. |

An example where this is currently being delivered is Core20PLUS5, which is focused on improving areas most needing improvement in the poorest 20% of the population, along with other disadvantaged population groups. |
