As the NHS looks towards the future, personalised care has become a fundamental aspect of the NHS Long-Term Plan, reflecting a shift towards a more tailored and patient-centric healthcare system. At Definition Health, we are proud to support this movement, helping the NHS improve patient outcomes through digital solutions that enhance pre- and post-operative care.
Personalised care ensures that individuals have more control over their healthcare journey, shifting from a one-size-fits-all model to one where patients are empowered to make informed decisions about their treatment. This approach prioritises what matters most to patients, promoting a partnership between healthcare professionals and the individuals they treat. The goal is not just to treat illness but to focus on prevention, wellness, and the overall experience of the patient.
Through our digital health solutions, such as LifeBox and Recovery, Definition Health aligns with the NHS's vision for personalised care by enabling patients to engage more actively in their healthcare. Our tools allow patients to complete digital pre-assessments from the comfort of their home, securely share their health data with clinicians, and access educational resources tailored to their individual needs.
For example, LifeBox's customisable questionnaires ensure that each patient's unique medical history and risk factors are considered before surgery.
