As technology advances and pressure on workforce and bed space intensifies, more emphasis is being placed on the use of remote monitoring technology to fill the gap. But do these new virtual wards offer a more efficient and patient centred approach, or do they present a risk to patient safety and an added burden on carers and family members?

Join us for an insightful panel discussion where our speakers will use examples from the UK and Vietnam to delve into the advantages and limitations of these approaches, analysing their impact on healthcare efficiency, workforce dynamics, and patient well-being.

Key topics will include:

  • Enhancing efficiency: How remote monitoring can streamline healthcare delivery and reduce hospital stays.
  • Patient and caregiver burden: Assessing the additional pressures remote healthcare places on patients and their support systems. 
  • Infrastructure requirements: Identifying the necessary technological and organisational infrastructure and barriers for successful implementation
