Remote patient monitoring and virtual ward platform
Leicester-based digital health company whose Clinitouch platform runs NHS virtual wards and remote monitoring pathways for long-term conditions.
The read
Spirit Health's Clinitouch platform lets patients self-report symptoms and vital signs from home, feeding NHS clinical teams data used to run virtual wards for conditions including COPD, heart failure, frailty and diabetes. Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust has used Clinitouch since 2012, one of the longer-running deployments in the UK virtual ward market.
An independent study of 310 patients on a Clinitouch-supported virtual ward found 1,103 bed days saved and net financial savings of over £529,000 to the commissioning trust, the kind of health-economics evidence NHS procurement increasingly asks vendors to produce before wider rollout.
The Bridgehead view
Spirit Health's decade-plus NHS track record with Clinitouch is a useful reminder that virtual wards are not a post-pandemic invention: the vendors with the longest deployment histories, not just the newest funding rounds, often hold the strongest evidence base.
