Enhancing Health Management in Care Homes through Data Analytics
The project aims to explore how the implementation of the NHS/UK "National Early Warning Score" (NEWS2) in residential and nursing care homes can be optimized through data analytics and visualization. The primary goal is to improve the proactive management of residents' health, particularly those with long-term conditions, by analyzing wider determinants of health. This project seeks to identify patterns and trends that could lead to a reduction in unnecessary hospital admissions. By leveraging classroom knowledge in data analytics, students will assess the effectiveness of NEWS2 and propose enhancements. The project involves analyzing existing health data, identifying key health indicators, and visualizing data to support decision-making in care homes. - Analyze the current use of NEWS2 in care homes. - Identify and evaluate wider determinants of health affecting residents. - Develop data visualizations to highlight key health trends and patterns. - Propose actionable insights to improve health management and reduce hospital admissions.
Website re-design and coding hosted on MS Azure platform
Ecommerce website re-design and coding hosted on MS Azure platform Future Care's is an SME based in London, UK. We are seeking a team to re-design and code our current ecommerce Puffin Group™ web site. This website is public B2C facing, a general FC product sales front end with access to purchase online FC’s products and services and includes the following functionality: · general public interest info and news feeds etc.. · purchase FC’s product and services via a shopping cart, · logging onto FC’s user community PuffinCLUB™ very similar to most community websites – a perfect example www.mumsnet.co.uk · login alternative option to accessing data/reports instead of logging in via the smart phone MyPuffin™ consumer APP. In short, an end user can access their personal data via the website portal To date our current website is hosted on 123 Reg. It needs to be moved and/or re-coded to the MS AZURE platform with password access toshow investors before its goes live and published. FC has suggestions for improvements but open and receptive to new ideas, design UXB ideas and scrutiny.
Health APP coding, and new functionality
Future Care's is an SME based in London, UK. We are seeking a team to code our current wireframe MyPuffin™ consumer APP and add new functionality. To date our prototype B2C V1.0 APP includes end-user flow diagrams, screen mock-up designs and a detailed project background system analysis that supports the resulting current wireframe. This wireframe is at present waiting to be coded. However, in addition to the current wireframe, we wish to add further functionality to the APP and include a simple one click to enable an end user to: · upload real-time vital signs data and reports to a clinician/health professional, (CHP) · enable the CHP to see the end user in real-time via video streaming and talk to the end user at the same time. · enable the CHP to listen, in real time to the infants’ lungs and heart. The end goal is to enable the CHP to reassure the end user as to their health and provide on-demand consultancy. Other examples of accessing medical consultancy on- demand are not uncommon but few if any offer this level of engagement supported by real-time accurate and meaningful data. The team will work closely with www.ARROW.com - a $30b international electronics company and Microsoft’s AZURE hosted platform and development tools. Students will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement and assign copyright to FC. However, this project, and exposure to work in collaboration with two international electronics company is an amazing opportunity that may well lead to student(s) being referred by senior ARROW and MS management to their respective in-country HR departments and/or the potential to be retained by Future Care after and subject to, the completion of their studies.
Insurance - infant device alignment to insurance channel partnerships
The project will focus on aligning Future Care’s (FC) remote monitoring device with the insurance market and targeted prioritised insurers. The project will build on previous research developed by FC and past RMIT cohorts. The aim is to enable FC to understand the insurance market, how FC’s product/service offering can add value, and lastly, targeted, and tailored pitches to prioritised insurance companies. The outcomes will further develop the current work carried out insurance alignment value proposition, supporting research evidence to enable FC to approach B2B insurance target companies such as Vitality, Axa etc. demonstrating how FC’s device can add value, how, with financial backing and targeted business economic insurance perspective that insurance companies will relate and buy into. The Report will also draw on similar case study initiatives Vitality where health, wellness, lifestyle devices have been incorporated into the insurers business model. Even better if we can point to any opinion financial or otherwise as to the effectiveness of this Device / health insurance integration strategy. Previous RMIT cohorts have developed Value Proposition, Business Canvas, and a general go-to-market pitch deck but no business plan. These assets need refining. Company Introduction The Future Care (UK) Ltd is an SME based on London developing a paediatric remote monitoring precision instrument. We have a unique approach, ONE product/ MULTIPLE markets, bridging the gap between consumer, medical & B2B. Trust/confidence in the consumer brand emanates from the medical accuracy of the product. A parent or end user can upload info to a clinician /health professional anytime from anywhere in world. The clinician/Health professional can access the patient’s vital signs, listen to the patient’s lungs and heart, see the patient and speak to them, ALL in real-time, simultaneously. 1. Predictive analytics in e-commerce & retail: Our B2C infant device working title Puffin™ with a MyPuffin™ APP and a website domain PuffinGroup.com both public facing, ecommerce, and membership to personalised login to PuffinClub™. The Customer profile is but not researched in any priority Conventional female/male parent relationships, Single Parents female or male, Grandparents as purchaser’s LGBT partnerships or Influencer communities prompting sales. We think our main revenues will come from online sales but not rule out such distribution pathways. 2. Pricing for new technology products & services: A big issue for FC entering B2C market and VERY different to UK + our device and offering compared B2C competitors e.g. Owlet etc.. FC's is a cross-over B2C/B2M, added value + subscription 24x7 medical triage. 3. Predictive analytics in Healthcare: Investigations of health insurance. Again very different market to the UK. Where the US market is riven by health insurance dare, I allude to ‘Obama Care ‘ around infant health and rates etc… Another aspect of the insurance market is Medical Tourism. Sending a patient abroad for an intervention can save $10-20,000+ to cost to a medical intervention. A remote monitoring device provides the insurer/hospital ongoing ‘stickiness’ to their one-off intervention. Monitoring pre, during travel, post intervention real-time remote monitoring keeping medical /clinician in contact with patient until next time and better patient recovery outcomes.
Create B2C brand ID, logo, graphics
We are developing a wearable, non-invasive, medical grade precision instrument for infants (0-24months), remotely monitoring vital signs and includes an integrated stethoscope. Data, using AI will provide predictive & preventative analytics. Reports/alerts are send to end user APPS. Our approach: ONE product/TWO markets consumer Puffin™ and medical PuffinPLUS™ . We believe brand ID is critical to the company success. The value of the brand will depend on building the trust in the brand, hence the company's medical focus in seeking gold standard accuracy of its vital sign’s sensors. We are seeking creative ideas, input and implementation across the following but not limted to: Brand/Logo creation Investor commjunication 30sec animation video using software like https://www.doodly.com Styke teplates for Power Point presentations, infomatics, News Letter format template Website design,development and implementation APP programming. Future Care has a considerable amount of visual and research material from which to draw on. This includes end user personas plus early qualitative research conducted by Maddison Product Design Agency, UK and another research, including guid mock-up screen grabs for the B2C user MyPuffin™ APP.
Doctor/diagnosis on-demand B2C subscription service
Future Care (FC) needs a “Doctor Diagnosis on-Demand” (DDoD) go-to-market business plan. FC is happy to work with individuals or multiple teams. FC's meaningful project(s) will include research focused on market, consumers’ behaviour, and motivation for purchasing DDoD subscription service that enables parents to connect with a health professional and get a diagnosis on-demand from anywhere at any time. The business plan’s focus is to split into two parts the wider market for such a generic service and as equally as important how DDoD can add value to FC’s existing infant remote monitoring business. FC’s Product: R&D is a wearable, non-invasive, medical precision instrument for infants (0-24months), remotely monitoring vital signs and integrated stethoscope, linked to a predictive & preventative analytics platform, Reports and Alarms sent to end user consumer (B2C) and medical (B2M) APPS. The B2C market for DDoD is mirrored by the device target market e.g. age range 22-35yrs: first time traditional family with heterosexual partners single parents (male & female) LGBT communities grandparents 45-80yrs Other markets B2B worth mentioning a peripheral mention within the brief e.g. Nannies, Nursery owners, Mother & Toddler play group owners, Foster parents, Adoption agencies Scope can span one or several countries (UK, CA, USA, AU) We also need to understand the ‘pushback’ – why do parents NOT want to purchase such a device or subscription service, yet they will spend more than £100’s on designer baby products, branded goods and elaborate buggies and infant car seats. To support this FC has considerable amount to material from which to build on and available via the internet: · Search terms: “Doctor on demand subscription services” or “remote doctor consultation subscription services” · Added info : included as attachment to this project brief. Background: Covid has demonstrated the need and escalated demand for early adoption of Meditech/Telecare by health professionals. FC is keen to understand how DDoD can add value / revenue to its remote monitoring device, the differentiation this offers from competitors, the value proposition, revenue, and channel partner relationships that FC nurture/partner with. Furthermore the scope could extend to include seniors, adults and/or pre-term, pre-natal maternity services Future Care’s preferred means of communication is via email. Please read the project scope and let me know if you'd be interested in working together. If so, please send email: info@futurecareuk.com to exchange contact details and get a date in diary to discuss collaboration

Go-to-Market Business Plan for WISHcpd™ Educating Clinicians to Adopt MedTech
Title: WISHcpd™ - W earable I nsights S mart H ealth c ontinuing professional d evelopment. INTRODUCTION The Future Care (UK) Ltd is an SME and is seeking a Go-to-Market Business Plan across the EdTech CPD training market. We are seeking research into the accredited clinical continuing professional development education/training market. EdTech is a large and rapidly growing market. This research will help position Future Care's WISHcpd™ accredited training program to educate clinicians in the use and adoption of MedTech. The focus will be on one or more countries e.g. UK, Canada, USA, AU, that carry out CPD education in English. The Go-to-Market business plan will include ALL the elements including not bot limited to; financial business case, value proposition competitors and economics around adoption and necessity, especially post COVID. FC is seeking a university/post grad(s), MBA/CAPSTONE individual(S) or team(S) to develop this business plan. As part of the development of the plan, FC is keen to identify channel partners that FC could collaborate with in bringing WISHcpd™ to market. BACKGROUND According to FC's research there is no accredited clinical CPD programme that informs clinicians, social services commissioners, and front-line key workers, with a programme that supports them in the power and potential of digital health/medtech, how it can change and improve work practises, patient user outcomes, implantation in their work practise and improve efficiencies. WISHcpd™ fills this knowledge/adoption gap. WISHcpd™ program is spread across four main modules: 1. Review of new technologies, lifestyle and Medtech in general, direction of travel, APP self-managed therapies and use of data, 2. Expectations, ethical concerns, and manage the clinician’s barriers to adoption. 3. Medtech integration of into clinician’s work practice, diagnostics and sync with their legacy, patient record systems. This module could include a simple virtual reality (VR) option. 4. Database of telecare, digital health/Medtech, product services and therapies. This is not dissimilar to the way a doctor uses a directory of available drugs to address medical symptoms. The end objective of the database will be an approved / accredited, go-to place for integrating digital health and wellness devices into clinical work practises for better patient outcomes. Database of Dhealth & Wellness products, services, and therapies will be driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML) and will learn from a user’s engagement, patterns to speed up recommend and inform user of other related initiatives around their interests. The database is almost a standalone product and revenue stream. This database will need to be developed and populated. COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL 1. Traditional pay-as-you-go or subscription for single or multi-user eLearning licence 2. Subscription to telecare product resources database 3. Turnkey managed resource(s) for: Pharmaceutical, public, or commercial health provider, association 4. White label and affiliate companies 5. Extension products derived from the foundation of WISHcpd targeting other users. FYI FC has a body of resources to support this business plan and from which students can build on. FC has submitted a separate project addressing the physical development of WISHcpd™ educational programme.

Consumer Behaviours/Marketing: baby remote monitors health/wellbeing anywhere
Future Care (FC) needs to research consumers behaviour and motivation for purchasing a smart connected infant monitoring device - Whether and When to Worry! The students / teams can build on previous research carried out in the UK. We are keen to have this research applied to different markets, personas, unique motivations indicative of their country's culture, ethnicity, access to health and wellness resources, socio-economic factors and including LGBT groups who are parenting. This will help FC to create marketing personas, develop narratives, and differentiate itself from what is currently available on the retail B2C baby monitor market. We understand that this is a big topic. So, we are happy to collaborate and led by the course specialist in establishing manageable bit size chunks of this bigger picture. We will work with a university and their suggestion for a research programme that is in keeping with their university's course's remit, student's capabilities, resources and time constraints. Certainly, due to COVID and the changing nature of the retail market, B2C communications needs a better understanding of 'niche' motivations, expressed by each group and the niche online services/channels to reach out to these groups, make purchasing decisions and purchases. Another aspect of this behaviour and market/marketing research is what is the consumer’s understanding between what FC is offering and how FC’s B2C infant wearable product ‘Puffin™’ is perceived compared to its competitors? In short, we need to build-on / challenge what we currently understand across consumer behaviours and seek to validate the value proposition/purchasing ‘triggers’ according to each of our target market personas: A. FIRST TIME PARENTS/partnerships B. SINGLE PARENTS (male & female) C. GRANDPARENTS D. LGBT parents E. B2B e.g. Nannies, Nursery owners, Mother & Toddler play group owners, Foster parents, Adoption agencies We also need to understand the ‘pushback’ – why do parents NOT want to purchase such a device, yet they will spend more than £00’s on designer baby products, branded goods and elaborate buggies and infant car seats.
