The use of AI is to replace the existing triage system that presently involves you discussing your symptoms with a nurse etc on telephone. It’s common now that many people look up their symptoms using AI at home. Before contacting there GP etc…so using /. Copying similar language.
Bleepa is a communication tool that is clinician / health processional facing….allows confidential communication and collaboration between medics of all kinds via the patients own records, removing unnecessary appts, providing clear simple patient pathways…( e.g straight to test so to remove initial outpatient appt) maybe open to other agencies in future social services, etc in neighbourhood health services.etc
However, now partnered with (PKB ). (PKB) is a secure online personal health record where you can see most of your hospital appointment letters, laboratory results and radiology reports…via the NHS app.
PKB) can be accessed securely online via the NHS app or the PKB website for patients in Sussex only at present…trialing.
The NHS app is an evolving thing….one day the aim is it will be the front door to the NHS ….a door into your own live health records, secure access to a doctor either locally face to face or more quickly by remote video…where you can add info and other medics in any geographical area …even abroad could access your medical notes and test results and record live events as they happen.
The nhs APP presently is more patient facing so patient can see there own records, add information , communicate with health professionals etc access live real time up to date data of their treatment history and results etc…
All in my opinion…GL vas
