In order to drive sustainable wellness and long-term condition management, patients need to be at the centre of an integrated care pathway, empowered with appropriate access and incentives to manage their own care. This project will assess the feasibility of implementing personal healthcare records, care provider communications and approval processes on to a private Blockchain. Current processes and data flows will be reviewed, improved and converted to Blockchain solution standards. A working prototype will be created and tested to evidence technical feasibility. A short and long term cost benefit analysis will be undertaken, and ability to deliver at scale assessed.

GP services are failing to effectively educate musculoskeletal patients about the importance of self-managing their long-term conditions. Perhaps this is not surprising as research has shown that many patients immediately forget 40-80% of the information discussed in their appointments. MSKnote's new software (Stipo) allows GPs to easily provide each of their musculoskeletal patients with the information discussed in their appointment in engaging text and video formats along with features to access further information, other health-related services and remote reviewing.Stipo aims to improve a patients ability to self-manage, reduce demands on GP/ musculoskeletal services and create significant cost savings.

This technical feasibility project will address the opportunity to enable GP's to efficiently provide self-care resources to Diabetic patients through a smartphone app. It will assess how to best aggregate,index and query open and closed datasources from a range of national and local sources in a way that helps GP's to overcome the barriers that exist for them in systematically delivering self-care resources to the smartphones of their diabetic patients. This will be achieved by using the Healum health technology platform to create and test an algorithmic model from existing local sources in partnership with patients,nurses and doctors from Bermuda Marlowe Practice.
