About the seminar
The array of Digital tools and capability on the virtual shop shelf is ever-increasing – but how do we know which will or won’t improve our health and care outcomes? The NIHR South London Applied Informatics Hub was designed to bring together digital innovations in health and social care to provide a single resource for applied scholars.
The Hub showcases digital, M-health and informatics tools and approved linkages to support their use in ARC health and social care research, including evaluation of the implementation and effectiveness of actionable analytics in clinical practice. The Hub also contains a new page listing capacity building and training opportunities, along with a page signposting route of the public or experts by experience to contribute to research in this field. The hopes are that the Hub will support applied research, inform the adoption of digital innovations into practice across health and care systems and allow their evaluation in delivering better outcomes. This session will introduce the hub and invite your contributions to its future evolution.
