We propose to establish StrokeNet: a secure, N3 network-contained, browser-accessed, digital platform that enables real-time exchange of clinical information critical to managing, at each site, bed availability and other relevant clinical resource pending patient exchange. Provided as an automatic add-on to our comprehensive digital patient record for stroke, StrokePad, currently in operation at UCLH, the system will also be equally usable as a stand-alone, providing locally the standard functionality of a handover system but crucially linked, in real-time, to receiving and transmitting unit.

The national screening programme for colorectal adenocarcinoma generates millions of resected polyps that must be sent off for complex histopathological testing. Up to 99% of these are benign (hyperplastic) and the burden on pathology causes delays in return of results of up to 8 weeks. A resect and discard protocol for small hyperplastic polyps would streamline the diagnostic process, saving significant time, money and resources. A low-cost, fast and accurate biopsy triaging system has been developed to identify healthy samples and eliminate them from pathology. This project will determine whether it can be applied to colonic polyp screening.

Care Sourcer is a web based platform which will facilitate the care assessment process, required as part of the hospital to home care process, with a real-time, web-based platform. It will enable professionals/individuals/families (care seekers) to detail their needs and support them to achieve their outcomes through sourcing local care provision. It is a unique platform which empowers care seekers to work in partnership with healthcare professionals to define how they would like their care to be delivered. Care Sourcer will support improved patient flow from hospital to community and residential care provision, reducing costly hospital delayed discharge.
