What happened was there was a specialist came to me and he said, well, going to try a different medical approach here, different antibiotics.

So that, again, facilitated being remote, if you like.

you know the big thing for me was a you can go home b you can bypass a and e and and c you know you're in your own home you're in your own home environment in your own bed eating your own food when you want it as well which is a key thing you know you've not been woken up at six in the morning with the best wheel in the world uh it you don't get a great night's sleep in a hospital and then obviously you're woken up early in the morning and things like that

so essentially you're on the ipad are you sending in results is that how it works well what was really beautiful about it because um my initial reaction would be well look i'm reasonably technically competent but how's this going to work for for the older i mean i've elderly parents the the devices that you were using and in my case it was quite simple it's blood pressure it was um

blood oxygen and temperature thermometer but it's all Bluetooth connected and it's it's literally it has its own Wi-Fi it sends the thing back remotely you don't have to do anything you just press the screen one after the other it couldn't have been simpler you're thinking I mean we're all aware the health service is under pressure so anything that relieves pressure on beds you think well this is a great news story so it's great that it'll free up resources for people as well
