Graphnet remote monitoring passes 2.2 million measures

More than 2.2 million patient measurements have been submitted through Graphnet Health's NHS remote monitoring platform, which now supports 84 live clinical pathways across 16 NHS organisations.

The expansion covers nine Integrated Care Systems and one site in Scotland through Graphnet Remote Monitoring, powered by Luscii. NHS organisations are using the platform to scale existing remote monitoring services and bring a broader range of pathways onto one integrated system.

Services in the rollout include heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, frailty, diabetes, respiratory care, virtual wards and long-term condition management. Heart failure and COPD account for the largest areas of use. Other pathways include hypertension, acute respiratory infections, asthma, bronchiectasis, paediatrics, palliative care, Parkinson's, pneumonia, OPAT and oxygen weaning.

The latest phase builds on earlier remote monitoring work across NHS and community services. Those programmes have supported more than 150,000 citizens and covered more than 60 million patient days through connected care services.

According to Graphnet, its wider platform is used across more than 20 NHS Integrated Care Systems and supports around 17 million people through shared care records, population health management and connected care services.

Regional Use

In Cheshire and Merseyside, the monitoring service supports organisations including Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust for patients with long-term conditions and those needing virtual ward support. In Stockport, teams are using the system for heart failure, frailty and respiratory care to help patients receive acute support at home.

Elsewhere, care teams in Inverclyde are using the platform across COPD and care home programmes. In Jersey, a two-year pilot is examining how remote monitoring can support care through pathways focused on frailty, falls, diabetes and wound care.

Peter Almond, Head of Service for Digital and Administration at Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, said the service forms part of a wider shift in care delivery. "We are delighted to be working with Luscii and Graphnet to develop this service further, supporting the NHS 10-Year Plan ambition to shift more care from hospitals into the community and expand digitally enabled care at home," he said.

Family Nursing & Home Care is leading the Jersey pilot with support from Digital Jersey's CareTech programme. Foster said: "Family Nursing & Home Care is proud to be working in partnership with Graphnet and Luscii to explore how remote monitoring technology can support more proactive, preventative care for Islanders."

"With support from Digital Jersey's CareTech programme, this pilot will help us test new ways of identifying early deterioration and supporting people with frailty and long-term conditions to remain well and independent at home."

Single Platform

The programme has included the transition of services onto a single remote monitoring platform across participating sites. This is intended to create a more consistent system for patients and clinicians, while improving data sharing, pathway management and clinical oversight.

Markus Bolton, Executive Director at Graphnet Health, said adoption has accelerated across the health service. "This is a clear example of how remote monitoring is now scaling rapidly across the NHS."

"What's particularly encouraging is the breadth of pathways now live. This is no longer confined to individual pilots or isolated services. Remote monitoring is increasingly being embedded across community, acute and long-term care, which is where it starts to have real transformational impact."

"Building on the remote monitoring capability already established across the NHS, this latest expansion shows how services can scale more quickly when the right infrastructure is already in place."

"When remote monitoring is connected into the wider Shared Care Record, it gives clinicians a much clearer, real-time view of patients. That supports earlier intervention, better decision-making and ultimately helps keep people well at home for longer."

"That shift towards more proactive, preventative care is exactly where the NHS needs to go."

Jonathan Lewis, Managing Director, UK, at Luscii, said remote monitoring is becoming a more established part of routine NHS care. "We're seeing remote monitoring become an increasingly important part of day-to-day care delivery across the NHS."

"Services are designing and scaling pathways that work for their populations, whether that's supporting people with long-term conditions, managing recovery at home or responding to more acute needs."

"The real value comes from combining clinical insight with patient data, enabling care teams to act earlier and more confidently."

"Ultimately, it's about improving outcomes for patients while helping services manage demand in a more sustainable way."
