NHS care from patients’ homes

More patients will receive care from their own homes, through the rollout of new digital technologies across the NHS. Pilot schemes across England will use remote monitoring and self-reporting tools through the NHS App to help patients share updates on their health directly with specialists. The government’s push to bring in more remote monitoring will allow patients to share key health information – such as blood pressure, oxygen levels, or other symptoms – without needing to travel for an appointment. This makes care more convenient, helps clinicians detect changes early, reduces pressure on hospitals, and frees up time for staff to see patients who need face-to-face care most.
