NHS has announced its plans for seven trials, named “test beds,” which aim to use different technologies from tech behemoths. It hopes that IBM, Philips, and Google’s life science unit known as Verily, can help it address a series of healthcare challenges including improving how it provides diabetic support, chronic disease management, in-home elder patient care, mental health support, and prediction of healthcare needs.
NHS Chief Executive Simon Stevens states that the NHS “aims to cut through the hype, and test the practical benefits for patients when we bring together some of these most promising technologies,” he declared at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
