The AIM4ALL Proof of Concept aimed to enhance data collection for evaluating new healthcare products in Scotland, using CAR T-cell therapy as an example. The project was a partnership between DHI, Precision Medicine, and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and was funded by Scottish Enterprise and Cell & Gene Catalyst UK. < Return to projects AIM4ALL Project impact A digital platform was developed to enable standardised data collection in the evaluation of new health care products CAR T-cell therapy was chosen as an exemplar for its significant potential health and economic benefits The AIM4ALL Proof of Concept aimed to enhance data collection for evaluating new healthcare products in Scotland, using CAR T-cell therapy as an example. The project was a partnership between DHI, Precision Medicine, and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and was funded by Scottish Enterprise and Cell & Gene Catalyst UK. The AIM4ALL Proof of Concept was established to demonstrate how quality data collection needed for the delivery and evaluation of new healthcare products could be improved within the current system in Scotland. CAR T-cell therapy was selected as the exemplar of a treatment with high potential for early and enduring health and economic benefit. This is a partnership project with DHI, Precision Medicine and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHS GGC) with funding from Scottish Enterprise and Cell & Gene Catalyst UK. Summary The Life Sciences Competitiveness Indicators 2022 indicate that the UK must increase the number of clinical trials in Scotland to improve health outcomes and economic investment. There are two key challenges to increasing clinical trials in Scotland; disparate data sets across the healthcare landscape, and protracted contract negotiations due to treatment manufacturers requiring high fees to cover development costs. Such data challenges are common across many jurisdictions, with governments and health providers having insufficient reliable data to demonstrate impact and hence assess affordability.  The AIM4ALL project in Scotland intended to demonstrate that an exemplar treatment journey dataset could be standardised, and that a suitable platform could ingest and manage data over the long term and serve this data securely to downstream consuming services. AIM4ALL has the potential to offer new and valuable health data resources to inform outcomes-based contracts for medicines, reducing risk and improving affordability of emerging treatments, while also extending Scotland’s health data research services, driving inward investment and further strengthening Scotland's international health research credentials. Impact & value Working closely with Consultant Haematologist Dr David Irvine and his supporting Data Managers at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (NHS GGC), the AIM4ALL PoC mapped and standardised the CAR T treatment and post-treatment journey into formal descriptions. We extended a test instance of the NHS Scotland Health Data Exchange (HDE) to create a new ‘AIM4ALL platform’ to ingest and manage the standardised CAR T data, and prepared a synthetic dataset for testing and demonstration. A secure API was developed to serve the test data to a medicines contract management solution, demonstrating how standardised data can be used directly to inform data-driven contracts. The PoC also set out key elements of a future AIM4ALL service operating model. The project achieved its principal objectives in December 2023 and the conclusions were presented to positive reception at the Cross-Parliamentary Group on Life Sciences at Holyrood in February 2024. Progress to date Building on the Proof of Concept project, DHI is exploring with Scottish Government, NHS Scotland and industry partners a next stage project to establish a limited scale ‘Living Lab’ AIM4ALL digital service. The Living Lab would use de-identified data and a representational data-informed contract for a treatment product to refine and assess the AIM4ALL digital service in a safe, low-risk setting over a period of some twelve months. The ‘real world’ experience gained through the Living Lab would inform the technical, business and governance design for an operational AIM4ALL digital health data service as a significant new national resource. The Living Lab would be a significant step forward in evaluating the solution sustainability and economic model, ultimately informing the business case for embedding and scaling the AIM4ALL digital service.

"Once for the Patient" is a person-centred electronic record system for NHS Grampian, developed with DHI using co-design methodologies. Completed in spring 2021, it aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness by ensuring records follow patients from admission to discharge. < Return to projects Person-centred Records (PCR) Project impact Electronic record-keeping rolled out in wards throughout NHS Grampian Improvements to record-keeping made Working groups established to guide future development "Once for the Patient" is a person-centred electronic record system for NHS Grampian, developed with DHI using co-design methodologies. Completed in spring 2021, it aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness by ensuring records follow patients from admission to discharge. “Once for the Patient.” A person-centred, multi-disciplinary, electronic record for NHS Grampian hospital staff and patients. NHS Grampian is committed to the implementation of person-centred, multi-disciplinary, electronic record-keeping to provide a more effective and efficient service for patients admitted to their hospitals. DHI and NHS Grampian collaborated across a year-long programme of work, employing co-design innovation methodologies, ensuring the recommended solution was achieved with the person at the centre. DHI worked with hospital staff across multiple disciplines to prototype a new collaborative vision for electronic record-keeping that will follow the patient on their journey from admission to discharge. This project was completed in spring 2021. Summary Since completion of the project, the NHS Grampian e-Health and clinical team have made changes to the patient records system and introduced new electronic ways of working in several areas. Working groups have been established to further develop recommendations in four key areas: • Leadership and Support • Common Language and Structure • Governance and Best Practice • Purposeful Recording Impact & value The Design Team led a series of interviews, pop-up engagement, and collaborative workshops, reviewing our planned activities on an ongoing basis. This reflective and adaptive approach allowed us to respond to the emerging insights through the course of the project and respond to these. Our process included production of a manifesto for electronic records, common data analysis, and role-play using a prototype digital solution in a hospital test ward. Progress to date Scoping of an extension to the project was paused due to pressures in NHS Grampian arising from Covid-19. This project would propose to prototype an interaction between electronic inpatient health records and social care records, which was identified during the project as a critical barrier to providing the most efficient and seamless care for the patient. It has been agreed that when circumstances allow, discussions will resume to scope this work.

Using the 3 Cs to create digital solutions to the Covid-19 challenge < Return to projects Covid-19 related projects Project impact Rapid Covid-19 Response through Innovation: DHI quickly developed digital tools supporting Scotland’s health and social care needs, benefiting patients and frontline staff. Strengthening Sector Collaboration: DHI partnered with NHS, government, and SMEs to co-design critical Covid-19 tools, enhancing Scotland's response capabilities. Setting New Standards in Digital Health: DHI’s Covid-19 projects, like the National Notification Service, streamlined processes, delivering rapid, impactful solutions for Scotland’s health sector. Using the 3 Cs to create digital solutions to the Covid-19 challenge The Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI) was commissioned, and continues to be actively involved, in supporting the Scottish Government’s national response to the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic from the first week in March 2020. We have onboarded six new Covid-19 projects over the last five months, which has resulted in DHI re-prioritising our work program and reallocating staff resources to accelerate our pace of working. Our whole team has risen to these challenges and have produced high quality products that are being deployed into a live service, supporting the population of Scotland (patients, service users as well as health and social care staff) at this critical point. We have established close working relations with all key partners across Scotland, particularly the Digital Directorate, NHS Scotland Digital, NES and TEC functions as well as national and territorial health boards, the Digital Office for Local Government and key third sector and independent sector organisations. Several academic and industry partners have also been engaged to support this work. This includes several Scottish SMEs including Storm ID, Sitekit, Daysix, Tactuum and Cohesion along with Scottish Enterprise. The DHI team worked virtually and used a variety of interactive, online tools to collaborate and co-design, develop and define solutions and services, collaboratively with stakeholders. Frequently involving up to 30 participants, project workshops were organised and facilitated with technologists, clinicians, designers, NHS staff and representatives from the Government to gather experience-based insight, document requirements and plan for wider integration. Following the success of this new type of working, we plan on integrating elements of it into all future projects to help fastrack innovation ideation into delivery. Summary The National Notification Service has changed the way Scottish health boards view and communicate test results, relieving the front line of the burden of administrating thousands of test results so that they could focused on higher impact health protection duties The Simple Tracing Tools equipped all 14 Scottish health boards with the digital means to capture contact tracing data during peak Covid-19. 733 clinical users were onboarded and they traced 1618 index cases and their contacts over a 2 month period at peak – this allowed Scotland to leave full lockdown earlier The Clinical Assessment Tool has been used for over three thousand assessments of patients in the Glasgow area. It has fed early intelligence into surveillance systems to help identify outbreaks earlier. This is currently being scaled up to other boards in Scotland The Covid Community Co-management tools have been developed and user research completed – with the Scottish population demonstrating their support for a more active digital role in contact tracing. This tool is due to go live later in the autumn in 2020 and will help with the expected increase in Covid-19 cases over the winter period Impact & value Progress to date Next steps Covid-19 Projects The Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI) was commissioned and remains actively engaged in supporting the Scottish Government’s national response to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic through various related projects View Projects Partners Project staff Resources Global Examples of COVID-19 Surveillance Technologies Flash Report Rapid Review of Contact Tracing Methods for COVID-19 Using Innovation to Develop Digital Tools for Public Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic Emerging Trends in Digital Health and Care: A Refresh Post-COVID Emerging Trends in Digital Health and Care: A Refresh Post-COVID (booklet) Previous project Projects index page Next project

Macmillan Cancer Support commissioned DHI and Abertay University to develop a visual tool using gaming theory and AI to identify support needs of People Affected by Cancer (PABC). The tool analyses characteristics and similar cases to offer personalised care and resource planning, with interfaces for patients and health professionals. < Return to projects My Cancer MAI Care Project impact AI driven decision support for people living with cancer Participatory design methodologies were used to understand and define the needs of stakeholders Helps professionals to make care decisions informed by information generated by service use data analysis. Macmillan Cancer Support commissioned DHI and Abertay University to develop a visual tool using gaming theory and AI to identify support needs of People Affected by Cancer (PABC). The tool analyses characteristics and similar cases to offer personalised care and resource planning, with interfaces for patients and health professionals. Cancer care in the UK faces critical challenges, including an ageing population and limited resources, demanding greater efficiency and improved care through technology. Macmillan Cancer Support has access to large datasets that can be used to drive evidence-based decisions, but their scale and complexity challenge traditional analysis methods. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) provide cost-effective tools to unlock the value of such data, supporting professionals in improving outcomes for persons affected by cancer (PABC). When combined with immersive user experience (UX) tools, like gaming technology, AI’s potential is significantly increased. Identifying the most impactful areas for these technologies requires an understanding and definition of specific cancer care pathways. Engaging users ensures that service needs dictate technology use, not vice versa. By embracing AI and user-driven innovation, cancer care in the UK can significantly improve efficiency and outcomes. Summary For health and social care professionals: AI can support planning and rapid decision making, helping professionals to make care decisions informed by information generated by service use data analysis. This could occur through intelligent summarisation of datasets and interactive visualization of complex information. For PABC: AI systems hold the promise of enabling PABC to self-manage more effectively by placing powerful and trusted automated agents at their disposal. However, PABC might find it difficult to engage with these complex tools. As a result, advances need to be made not just in the deployment of AI for PABC but in the user-friendliness and security of these systems. Impact & value The primary goal of this project was to provide Health and Care professionals, particularly link workers, with accessible data to enable consistent support services. A critical focus was on the visualisation component, which was thoroughly tested by potential end users. As a result, the project developed and evaluated an interactive and dynamic information visualisation tool designed to present association rule-mined data effectively.

This project designed and evaluated a Diabetes Prevention Information App as part of a scalable, digitally enabled service model integrated into primary care to support individuals at risk of Type 2 diabetes. < Return to projects Living Lab 2C: Prevent Progress of Diabetes App Project impact The intervention significantly improved users’ knowledge, confidence, and motivation to adopt healthier lifestyle behaviours, with 94% reporting increased knowledge and 88% reporting improved confidence. A blended model combining digital tools with brief professional (dietitian) support enhanced engagement and enabled more effective access to preventative services. The project demonstrated a scalable, cost-effective approach to diabetes prevention that can reduce demand on healthcare services while improving population-level health outcomes. This project designed and evaluated a Diabetes Prevention Information App as part of a scalable, digitally enabled service model integrated into primary care to support individuals at risk of Type 2 diabetes. This project developed and tested a diabetes prevention app integrated into primary care, using a person-centred model tailored to individuals’ digital confidence. An 8-week pilot with high-risk patients showed strong engagement, improved knowledge, and increased motivation for lifestyle change, with many participants making or planning healthier behaviour changes. Summary This project demonstrates a scalable, cost-effective digital approach to diabetes prevention that can be delivered within existing NHS infrastructure. By supporting early intervention and self-management, it has the potential to reduce long-term demand on healthcare services. The model provides an equitable and flexible approach, accommodating different levels of digital literacy, while enhancing patient engagement and service uptake through the integration of digital tools with professional support. Impact & value The app content was co-designed through a series of workshops and developed on the Right Decision Service platform. A pilot was then implemented within a GP practice in Moray, targeting patients identified as being at high risk of developing diabetes. An eight-week evaluation demonstrated strong engagement, with 63% of participants actively using the app and 92% rating it as easy to use. Positive behavioural outcomes were also observed, with most participants reporting lifestyle changes or intentions to make changes. The integration of professional support was successfully tested, with 79% of participants taking up dietitian support. Building on these encouraging findings, the next phase will focus on scaling the approach across NHS settings, enhancing app functionality, and expanding evaluation to larger and more diverse populations.

The Right Decision Service (RDS) is Scotland’s national decision support service for health and social care. Funded by the Scottish Government and owned by Healthcare Improvement Scotland, RDS provides digital tools for safe, timely healthcare decisions based on validated evidence and patient-centred outcomes. < Return to projects The Right Decision Support Service (RDS) Project impact Over 180 web and mobile decision support tools 1,777,077 unique users registered; 10.4 million page views in 2023 alone In 2023, 93% saw an impact on evidence informed practice The Right Decision Service (RDS) is Scotland’s national decision support service for health and social care. Funded by the Scottish Government and owned by Healthcare Improvement Scotland, RDS provides digital tools for safe, timely healthcare decisions based on validated evidence and patient-centred outcomes. The Right Decision Service (RDS) is the national decision support service for Scotland’s health and social care. It was endorsed and funded by the Scottish Government as the platform for delivery of the national decision support programme. The RDS was significantly developed at DHI over a number of years. It secured funding from the Scottish Government to develop a platform to support decision-support products and the development of new products to support clinical services across the country. Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) took on the national ownership role for the Right Decision Service in 2023. The mission of the RDS is to be the Once for Scotland source of digital tools which enable staff to make safe, timely decisions ‘on the go,’ based on validated evidence and outcomes that matter to people. The RDS is a change agent for the delivery of value-based health and care. It brings together evidence from: validated research, practice experience, and the lived experiences of patients and service users, embedding this evidence in decision-ready formats through RDS tools such as web and mobile apps and electronic care records. Summary Adoption at scale as a business-as-usual service: the RDS is embedded as a core enabler of health and care delivery in the majority of Scottish NHS Boards and a growing number of health and social care partnerships. This embedding in mainstream service delivery is now consolidated through the transition of RDS from its innovation phase in DHI to HIS as a mainstream business-as-usual service. Growing impact in the form of savings in time and resources, improved safety and quality of care, workforce skills and improved processes. These are underpinned by widespread usage across sectors and strong policy mandates for national delivery. Scottish Government Digital Health and Care noted that this “is the first example of a digital health and care programme that has been trialled and piloted with our partners, through to mainstream delivery led by a national NHS Board, and highlights the success of our collaborative approach.” 12 of the 14 territorial boards, 6 health and social care partnerships, 4 national NHS Boards, 3 national social care organisations, 8 national programmes and 3 third sector organisations are using the RDS to deliver decision support tools that support their priorities. Impact & value The RDS continues to be developed by Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS). At the point RDS was transferred to HIS, it had progressed hugely. The Right Decision Service received official recognition in the form of the 2022 Digital Public Services Award. This award is granted in collaboration by Holyrood Communications, Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government, for a digital public sector innovation that has delivered measurable impact in the past year. RDS has helped to release practitioner time and the optimal use of resource. In a survey of 36 RDS implementation leads across 12 organisations conducted in January 2023, .77% confirmed that RDS tools are enabling better use of available resource. .64% report that RDS tools are saving staff time 62% state that RDS tools have reduced costs. “Streamlining access to guidance and evidence-based decision support so that it is instantly accessible when and where clinicians need it.” RDS has also led to improved safety and quality of care: 79% of RDS implementation leads indicate that RDS tools are already improving patient safety in their organisations. 74% advise that RDS tools have improved quality of patient care, and 65% indicate that they are driving up consistent evidence-based practice.
