Remote blood cell counting device to transform chemotherapy patient support

Many patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment, roughly 10.5%, experience complications that lead to emergency admissions. Monitoring patients at home could mean early identification of risks leading to potentially life-saving interventions. Patients could also avoid being called into hospital unnecessarily therefore improving hospital efficacy.

This health company is transforming the way chemotherapy patients are supported, whilst empowering them to be actively involved in the monitoring of their well-being at home. Providing a home remote blood cell counting device, as part of a wider end-to-end patient monitoring service, means oncologists have regular access to patients’ well-being. Using this self-test information obtained at the patient’s home avoids missing key symptoms and allows for early intervention.

Many thanks to AND for all of the hard work and quick turn around here. It is very much appreciated.
