CHICAGO: Some 1,400 people who have or care for someone with dementia could take part in a first-of-its-kind trial designed to transform their lives.
The trial is being run by Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust at Surrey University and forms part of a drive to modernise and reform healthcare for the elderly.
The trial, called technology integrated health management, is funded by NHS England. It will help doctors remotely monitor the health of people with dementia so they can intervene early and help avoid crisis and unnecessary hospital stays.
