As part of OHT week, which ran the week of May 11th, OHT volunteer Jess Morley brought together a little list of digital innovators who twisted, turned, pivoted and rose up to the opportunities that the pandemic provided.
1st (on our non-ordered list...) is @heypatchwork
Their app connects hospitals with staff to quickly fill vacant shifts and ensure wards are fully staffed
Neeeeext up is @KingsCollegeLon & @kingshealth's Life Lines project
Life Lines allows family members to see and speak to their loved ones via a tablet using an app on a secure online platform + meet the clinical team providing care
We had a lot of love for @MedwiseAI in our digital innovators' response to crisis list
These folks use AI to source answers from clinical journals and official government advice to key COVID19 questions
Now we've got a little foursome! @wearebighealth @unmindhq @Headspace
All these help manage our mental health, and during this time, have been made freely available to health and care workers!
One for the #OHT20 community @Peopletoo1 @NovoVille are launching GetVolunteering
It's an an app to fast track volunteers into clinical and non-clinical roles to support the fight against COVID19
We luuuurve @SimplyDoIdeas
They'll develop a virtual community of NHS medical professionals currently in self-isolation who can be unlocked virtually to help solve #COVID19 care challenges set within the platform
In our list of digital innovators flourishing and storming ahead during the pandemic is @meetnye!
Nye enables any clinician to telephone/video any patient from any device, anywhere. SIMPLES
Next up we have @BirdieCare!
"Birdie will deploy a free, national care worker app with a COVID-19 symptom checker, integrated with the NHS 111 service, to identify confirmed or suspected infections among the elderly they care for"
Next digital innovator in COVID19 is C19 Control from @everyLIFETech covering:
Screening
COVID status tracking (people being cared for & staff)
PPE status tracking at individual/office level
Case reporting across all care settings
Next up our little list is @feebris
Feebris aims to help carers triage the day-to-day health needs of their residents during the COVID19 pandemic
Next up is @accuRx
accuRx is an NHS Digital approved econsultation system providing video consultation, patient questions and 2-way patient conversations
Another digital innovator stepping up to the COVID19 plate that we're featuring is friends of the community @WeAreDrDoctor
DrDoctor have launched a free Covid-19 toolkit for NHS Trusts including broadcast messaging and video consultations
And finally, our last COVIDy (??) digital innovator of this list is @myCinapsis!
They provide virtual specialist advice on referrals & end-of-life care. e.g. In #COVID19 - For GPs/paramedics on whether patients should be transported to an ICU or community hospital
That's a wrap folks! Check out the original Twitter thread here
