Congratulations to Health Innovation East who won the Digitising Patient Care Award at the 2024 Health Service Journal (HSJ) Awards.
Health Innovation East and East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust (ESNEFT) were crowned winners of the award for their work supporting the adoption of Neu Health’s app which is revolutionising care for patients with Parkinson’s Disease.
The Neu platform combines a smart-phone app empowering patients and carers and feeds into a clinician dashboard which utilises AI and machine learning algorithms to provide insights for monitoring and managing Parkinson’s Disease.
At East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust the platform has:
- Improved clinical efficiency in over 90% of consultations, reducing appointment times by an average of 6 minutes.
- Increased patients’ knowledge and confidence in managing their condition.
- Reduced in-person visits through remote monitoring, resulting in annual savings of £2,000 per patients.
- Achieved 78.4% patient uptake with more than 600 hours of at-home testing.
