And when you start looking at the NHS and the complexities of how it&#8217;s structured with all its different facets, from managing GPs, hospital appointments, to care homes and care workers, it\u2019s a Digital Health Ecosystem that is needed to join up all the dots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut it\u2019s important to remember, creating a digital ecosystem for the NHS is complex. If it was easy, it would have been done already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVarious experts will have a different view; interpretation of what it looks like. For me, it will be based on the area of expertise that&nbsp;Inventus&nbsp;has. The technology challenges faced by the NHS are similar, if not the same, to the ones experienced by the pharmaceutical companies we support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cClinical trials are complex, involving multiple people, systems and data flows. Success depends on the technology infrastructure as much as the science itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInnovative technology that can be sewn into existing NHS platforms and accelerates and streamlines logistics through integration, improves patient experience through seamless connectivity across the NHS and leverages AI responsibly to create neighbourhood networks are the components I believe create a successful Digital Health Ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/THP_INVENTUS_EDITED_10-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10773\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.4992414769923403;width:374px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/THP_INVENTUS_EDITED_10-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/THP_INVENTUS_EDITED_10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/THP_INVENTUS_EDITED_10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/THP_INVENTUS_EDITED_10-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/THP_INVENTUS_EDITED_10-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/THP_INVENTUS_EDITED_10-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Prevention rather than cure<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explains&nbsp;Steve: \u201cThe use of wearables, which has already been outlined in the digital plan unveiled by the NHS, is vital to supporting the outcomes of a Digital Health Ecosystem and creating a prevention rather than cure attitude towards the NHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe data we have access to as a result allows us to get to know the person before they become a patient. This is instrumental when creating a preventative health focus which moves the NHS from reactive treatment to proactive prevention and early intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA Digital Health Ecosystem also allows for access to information across the board \u2013 from wearables (which could provide information on sleep patterns, blood pressure for example) to medical records, treatment plans whether that\u2019s from a GP, or a dietician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat this then creates is a holistic picture of an individual which allows for a more detailed plan to be created which can focus on preventative care and allow for steps to be put in place to prevent someone from becoming ill in the first place. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTechnology will be crucial in order to do this and specifically bringing in technology that can help assess from the start and is end-to-end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Strengthen communities<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Using a Digital Health Ecosystem to build communities is a key driver of&nbsp;Steve\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He explained: \u201cIt will support the transition from hospital-based care to community and neighbourhood-led models of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut let\u2019s look at how you build communities \u2013 it\u2019s through better communication and the most used tool in the world for doing this is a mobile phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCreating messaging and discussion forums allow for shared experiences and create a sense of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTechnology also gives you the opportunity for the community to start within your house and a Digital Health Ecosystem then allows for a ripple effect to ensue so that this then extends to street and then your neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA key component to this is data and the joining up of the dots to highlight people who have health and lifestyle similarities who can support one another. Considered and careful use of AI and technology allows this to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is an exciting time for the NHS and a journey&nbsp;Inventus&nbsp;is keen to be part of.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Steve Sanghera <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 10-year health plan outlined earlier this year intends to make the NHS \u2018digital by default\u2019 and central to the overhaul will be the roll out of an NHS App tool which will read real-time data from wearables, biometric sensors or smart devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to one Government source: \u201cThis Plan <\/p>\n<p>Continue reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/?p=10771\">A shift from analogue to digital sits at the heart of the Government\u2019s ambitious plans for NHS reform in England<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[4146,4827,25,417,26,264,605,4825,4828,122,310,416,422,1748,4826,2476],"class_list":["post-10771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nhs-healthcare","tag-digital-health","tag-ecosyatem","tag-government-public-sector-journal","tag-government-journal","tag-gpsj","tag-gpsj-magazine","tag-hospitals","tag-inventus","tag-medecine","tag-nhs","tag-public-sector","tag-public-sector-journal","tag-public-sector-magazine","tag-secretary-of-state-for-health","tag-steve-sanghera","tag-tech","odd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A shift from analogue to digital sits at the heart of the Government\u2019s ambitious plans for NHS reform in England - Government &amp; Public Sector Journal<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gpsj.co.uk\/?p=10771\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A shift from analogue to digital sits at the heart of the Government\u2019s ambitious plans for NHS reform in England - Government &amp; Public Sector Journal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Steve Sanghera The 10-year health plan outlined earlier this year intends to make the NHS \u2018digital by default\u2019 and central to the overhaul will be the roll out of an NHS App tool which will read real-time data from wearables, biometric sensors or smart devices.
