iPad monitoring system to improve patient care

Innovation

An innovative iPad-based early-warning system for patient monitoring will be rolled out across Oxfordshire hospitals thanks to a £550,000 funding boost.

The System for Electronic Notes Documentation (SEND) project is supported by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, a collaboration between Oxford University Hospitals and Oxford University, won funding from the Safer Hospitals, Safer Wards NHS Technology Fund.
