“Show me your meds please” is a new model of care asking a simple screening question, during routine home visits by community staff, and provides the potential for massive reduction in medicines waste with subsequent environmental and cost saving benefits, along with improved individualised patient care.

The PiP (Pee-in-Pot) is classed as an in-vitro diagnostic Class 1 device as it is designed for the collection of urine within a hospital setting. It features an innovative design and is manufactured from cellulose pulp and removes the need for single-use sterile plastic items in the urine collection process.

Each year in the UK, approximately 700,000 people suffer from pressure (decubitus) ulcers (bed sores). These predominantly affect older individuals, as well as obese and spinal injury patients. They cause discomfort, lead to longer hospital stays, increase mortality rates, and costs the NHS over £1.4m daily. Tunley Environmental's predictive AI tool will aid healthcare decisions for management and prevention of pressure ulcers, tailored specifically to patients, reducing prolonged post-hospital care. This tool will also calculate environmental impacts and show how more efficient care can improve the environmental impacts of the care provided. Ultimately this tool will make accurate predictions about patient outcomes given an individual’s patient data, yielding the most effective clinical pathway at the lowest carbon/economic cost.
