Whole System Demonstrator

A whole lot better

With an ageing population, growing numbers of people with long-term conditions, a rise in complex health needs and increasing pressures on health and social care services, Newham needs to find new ways to help people manage their own health, within their own homes.

 
Through the introduction of the Whole System Demonstrator (WSD) Trial , Newham is playing its part in coming up with viable alternatives in the management of long-term conditions via the exciting possibilities opened up by assistive technologies: TeleCare and TeleHealth.
 
The aim of the WSD Trial is not only to help the Newham population live more independently for longer, but just as importantly to help reduce:
  • Emergency hospital admissions
  • Accident and emergency attendances
  • Numbers admitted to care and nursing homes
The WSD will contribute to a more community-based care, a more person-centred, responsive and adaptable service rather than the ‘one size fits all’ approach of reactive care.
 
Home monitoring systems for self-managed care are already proving beneficial for users and are also helping to relieve a lot of the pressures facing carers.
