Working closely with the NHS Assistive Technology team at Barnsley Hospital, GSPK Design has developed EMgage, a novel form of muscle activity sensing that provides a reliable method by which patients can use assistive technology to communicate and operate computers and other equipment making a real difference to their lives.

It is important that brain injury patients are treated holistically and with seamless access to relevant patient information for all stakeholders caring for the patient. Obex Technologies is developing an existing, proven hospital-based and registry platform and extending its applicability into community based healthcare including capturing quality-of-life information directly from the patient.

Cardiocity is developing Rhymthpad technology that allows a patient to be screened for Hypertension during an existing 30 second hand placement screening for Atrial Fibrillation. The innovation is to combine the Cardio and Vascular side of the patient assessment simultaneously. It is hoped that more detailed analysis may be performed in a proactive screening session at each Primary Care Interaction. The benefit to the NHS is identifying patients with both AF and Hypertension earlier, allowing for a medication solution to be implemented, rather than waiting for a significant event to occur.
