Farewill
| Project | Patient Facing Advanced Care Plans |
|---|---|
| Description |
Advanced Care Plans (ACPs) have been shown to significantly reduce pressure on Emergency and Urgent Care services. Trials have resulted in a 37% reduction in unscheduled A&E visits for patients in the last year of life and an average saving per person of £2,102. Currently ACPs may only be made and stored with a patient’s care record by medical professionals. Farewill & HELIX are developing the first patient-facing ACP tool, aiming to dramatically increase the number of people making these plans - reducing unnecessary and traumatic hospital visits at the end-of-life. |

| Project | Assessment of a New Type of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for the Treatment of Faecal Incontinence in the Frail and Elderly |
|---|---|
| Description |
The applicants have developed a technology called OnPulse™ that is currently employed in hospitals under NICE guidelines to prevent DVTs occuring following surgery. OnPulse™ is employed in the form of the Geko™: a small, self-adhesive device that employs small electrical impulses to gently activate nerves in the body. In this case where the Geko™ is being used to treat faecal incontinence, the Geko™ is located next to the ankle where it stimulates the tibial nerve. |
