IPPR: HN could help the government reduce waiting lists

The Institute of Public Policy Research (IPPR) today published “The direction of AI innovation in the UK: Insights from a new database and a roadmap for reform”.  The press release highlights that HN “could play a role in helping the government achieve its milestone in reducing waiting lists.”

The think tank compiled a database of 3,256 AI firms operating in the UK to detail the type of applications, sectors, and specific challenges these companies focus on.  The authors find that “the majority of companies are not directly contributing towards the public good, despite many having at some point benefitted from public funds”, according to a new report from IPPR.

The report spotlights the role HN’s service can play in delivering a Neighbourhood Health Service by “creating a seamless preventative health network, in a privacy-preserving way”, including in helping NHS Neighbourhood teams target their time and in supercharging “community health hubs”.

Hugh Lloyd-Jukes, Chief Executive of HN, comments,

“HN exists to help patients stay out of hospital and lead healthier, longer lives. We believe the published evidence shows that HN’s service can support the government’s healthcare priorities nationally - as well as health systems around the world.

HN is proud to support NHS North East London to deliver proactive population health management to 2.5 million Londoners as part of the NHS’ National Demonstrator for AI-guided Clinical Coaching, working in partnership with UCLPartners.

10 years of published research within the NHS has shown that deployment of HN‘s technology and its Personalised Care Institute (PCI) accredited health coaches can help reduce A&E attendances, hospital admissions and the length of hospital stays. Patients report a much more positive care journey and better care outcomes following contact with HN."
