Virtual wards, remote monitoring and automation have been adopted at speed during and since Covid. In this episode we hear about the benefits and the lessons learned – and the potential to do much more to benefit both patients and staff.

We hear from Jenni West, Innovation Agency Associate Director of Digital Transformation on evaluating the benefits of virtual wards; Sam Hayes, Consultant Physiotherapist at Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital on digitising pulmonary rehabilitation services; and Dr Theodora Ephson, Head of Growth at Ufonia Ltd on automating routine cataract appointments using artificial intelligence. Our guests are in conversation with Caroline Kenyon.

The episode was recorded at NHS ConfedExpo 2023 following a session in the Innovator Zone Theatre.
