General information

Short Summary
A UK company has developed a ‘Total Digital Surgery Solution’ that provides surgical and anaesthetic teams with clinical information derived from remote initial consultation, pre-operative assessment and uplifted by digital technology, to create a complete digital perioperative pathway. They are seeking hospitals in Germany to integrate the system via commercial agreement with technical assistance.
Full Description
A fundamental challenge in the global healthcare system is one of finite capacity and increasing demand, exacerbated by the backlog created by the recent COVID pandemic. A UK company has developed a suite of solutions that provide a complete digital perioperative pathway from initial consultation, preassessment and discharge into a virtual ward. The solutions are proven to deliver a more comprehensive view of a patient’s medical history and co-morbidities, allowing more effective waiting list triage and prioritisation. The net impact being Hospitals can plan resources more effectively, generate more accurate clinical codes to drive revenue and operate more efficiently around the local patient population.
With staff concerned about safety or perhaps self-isolating, the app helps this workforce continue to remotely care for their patients, allowing for new and different models of working.

Initially administrative staff register hospital patients, who supply comprehensive health information about themselves via the app, as well as watching key information videos about procedure and consent, so they are fully prepared (remotely). From this information nursing staff triage the patient as ‘good to go', schedule a telephone appointment or ‘face to face' via the Connect Solution which wraps around Zoom, Teams and other well known video conferencing tools.
Key features include
· Video consultation
· Smart HQ
· Surgical and anaesthetic education videos for patients
· Procedure consent videos
· Outcomes collection
· Virtual clinic
· Live file sharing
· Resource information library
· Rapid assessment of entire waiting lists
· Virtual ward post discharge monitoring

The company is looking for partners in Germany only. They are seeking German hospitals or clinics with backlogs of operations and procedures seeking to expedite their processes in a safe and secure way, by having the app adapted to their needs via commercial agreement with technical assistance.
