Ubisense technology accurately locates the position of tagged items within an indoor environment, monitoring interactions between these objects and utilising the information to drive software applications. The technology is currently used in challenging manufacturing environments to monitor, control and optimise complex assembly processes. There are a number of surprising parallels between the ad-hoc, non- linear, processes used in off-line rework and those found in A&E Departments. Therefore this project explores whether the same proven techniques, employed by over half of the major automotive companies, could be used to generate similar benefits within A&E for patient flow and admissions management.

Health ePass is a patient held, patient entered record of their health comprising their medical conditions & medications. Additionally it provides an opportunity to record crucial contextual information (e.g. next of kin, mobility etc) & a section for scanned in documents such as hospital correspondence & care plans. It's use puts patients at the centre of their care, allowing them to share their record securely via a simple electronic scanning function, making the information available to clinicians as they choose. It pre-populates clinicians' paperwork, allowing them to verify and amend, rather than collect all the information anew.

Healthera is a breakthrough innovation designed to help patients and pharmacists manage medications so as to deliver better medicalefficiency and health outcome. The technology currently deployed in some pharmacies in East of England has been well received by pharmacists and patients. GPs are interested in using this platform for better understanding on patient needs and behaviour as well as serving the need for refills. Ambulance and A&E services can be greatly benefitted from quick understanding on patient medication history and behaviour.
