Three Million Lives Improved Through Hi Tech Health Project
Three million lives could be improved across England thanks to new high-tech healthcare, according to the Government on Tuesday. Care Services Minister Paul Burstow pledged to make the technology available to more people with long term conditions after seeing the Telehealth and Telecare project in practice in Cornwall. Over the next five years, the Department of Health said it will work with industry, the NHS, social care and professional organisations to bring the benefits of the assistive technology which uses electronic equipment to read vital health signs such as pulse, weight, respiration and blood oxygen levels, which can be read remotely by health professionals in a different location. It means that people can stay at home while doctors will be alerted to any changes changes in their condition remotely. Paul Burstow said: “The trials of telehealth and telecare have shown how people with long term conditions can live more independently, reducing the time they have to spend in hospital and improving their quality of life. The feedback I have heard from people in Cornwall today has been incredibly positive. They were absolutely clear that high-tech healthcare being used here has improved their lives for the better."

Ms West was arrested after footage, filmed on a Croydon-to-Wimbledon tram, allegedly showing her racially abusing fellow passengers was posted on YouTube.
