Luton and Dunstable University Hospital

Luton & Dunstable Hospital  is one of the first deployments started using Patients Know Best.

Luton and Dunstable Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is trialling a remote electronic monitoring system for patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

The patient-controlled medical records system is based on the patient records access portal Patient Knows Best. It gives users an online portal where they can monitor their own symptoms, decide when they need to go to hospital and get information on what they could do to avoid another visit.

Lead gastroenterology consultant at Luton and Dunstable Dr Matthew Johnson told eHealth Insider there were two key elements to the new monitoring system.

• Ibd-Sshamp (Supported, Self help and Management Programme); UK’S first Internet-based Remote Management System for Managing Stable IBD

• Transformation of delivery of Paediatric epilepsy care at a district general hospital utilizing “Patients Know Best (PKB)”, a patient-held medical record on an interactive web-based digital platform (please find poster below attached).
