Forbes 18 September 2018
  • Trustedoctor, one of the most recent additions to the NHS DigitalHealth accelerator program, a cloud-based, open platform that allows specialist physicians to quickly assess patients and consult with expert colleagues in a virtual setting. DigitalHealth.London will be supporting Trustedoctor in deploying a solution that could help alleviate the complexities that surround ongoing cancer care and support.
  • According to Professor Karol Sikora, Professor of Oncology and Dean of Medicine at the University of Buckingham. “Trustedoctor’s technology could help to improve connectivity between patients, clinicians and NHS Trusts, speeding up diagnosis. It could also ensure the right expertise can be brought to the patient more speedily and effectively, even to those living at some distance from a cancer centre.”
  • According to Paul Grundy, Consultant Neurosurgeon, Southampton Hospital, Chair of NHS England Clinical Reference Group for CNS Tumours and Secretary of the British Neuro-Oncology Society "Trustedoctor could be a great asset to the NHS by facilitating virtual consultations, allowing patients the benefits of being seen in the comfort and convenience of their own home and freeing up valuable clinic space in hospitals for those patients that do require an on-site appointment."
