Remote monitoring at home
A Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust trial in east Kent targeted people with complex health conditions who frequently used A&E departments or walk-in centres. Patients were monitored at home using devices that recorded weight, blood pressure, temperature and blood oxygen levels. Clinicians reviewed the transmitted data and decided whether additional support was needed.
Reported reductions in care use
According to the reported results, A&E visits fell by almost 70 percent. Emergency hospital admissions declined by 70 percent, while walk-in-centre visits fell by four percent. The source does not give the number of patients, the trial period or a comparison group, so these figures describe the reported outcome rather than a broader evaluation.
Everon’s interpretation
Everon Group applauded the trial, presenting it as evidence for data-led, prevention-focused care and greater investment in technology-enabled services. Its sales vice-president Peter Kerly argued that technology, including AI and machine learning, should support NHS and adult social-care reform. Everon also highlighted Nottinghamshire findings: 82 percent felt more independent, 69 percent associated technology-enabled care with lower residential-care or hospital-admission likelihood, and 89 percent of carers reported reduced anxiety and stress.
