  • The NHS has given its approval to the ActiPatch, a wearable device that manages peripheral nerve activity to help users suffering from pain.
  • NHS approval was linked to a study in which treatment with the mHealth wearable helped reducers reduce their trips to the doctor’s office by almost 60 percent and cut prescription drug costs by 35 percent, resulting in an overall reduction in healthcare costs of 45 percent.
