Case Study: Dartford & Gravesham NHS Trust reduces therapy visits with Current Health

How Dartford and Gravesham NHS Used Currentto Reduce Therapy Visits by 22 Percent

The Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust sought to improve patient outcomes by shifting more care into the home, but their Hospital at Home team was challenged by inefficient in-person visits used just to collect vital signs. They wanted a remote monitoring solution to prioritize patient care and enable earlier intervention, avoiding the pitfalls of traditional telehealth. They partnered with vendor Current Health to implement its remote patient monitoring platform.

Current Health provided wearables and a hub for patients to automatically transmit health data, which clinicians monitored in real-time via a mobile app. This solution allowed the Dartford and Gravesham team to intervene earlier based on data-driven alerts. The results included a 22 percent reduction in home therapy visits, a 92 percent patient adherence rate, and a decrease in emergency department readmissions, all while making patients feel safer.
