Healthcare delivery
Modern technology to support the NHS Modular units accommodate a wide range of diagnostic and surgical needs. Companies like Medinet are contributing to NHS capacity boosting by delivering the physical units in addition to providing NHS-trained staff to operate them. Depending on the needs of the Trust, modular units can be a tailored solution – whether the hospital requires a full specialist team working alongside their own hospital staff or simply training their teams to use the facilities. These units are designed to offer support precisely where it is needed, whether placed on hospital grounds or located off-site, to alleviate strain on existing infrastructure or function as a standalone facility. The increased use of modular units coincides with an uptick in new technologies in healthcare, from AI to advanced imaging techniques. GI Genius, for example, is the first-to-market, deep learning, computer-aided polyp detection system able to detect polyps of different shapes, sizes, and morphologies in real-time (Medtronic, Medinet). Powered by software trained with over 13 million images, GI Genius helps address the challenges of detecting potential signs of colorectal cancer early. It harnesses deep
learning algorithms to assist in clinical decision- making during colonoscopy in real-time, using visual markers to both alert physicians to the presence of lesions and to provide a potential prediction of the histopathology using its characterisation feature. Features like this, alongside dedicated units for endoscopy, pose an exciting future for the NHS.
Clinician-designed solutions with less disruption Modular units offer more than just space. There are opportunities for clinician-designed solutions that integrate into existing hospital spaces to provide diagnostic, surgical, and ward capacity. As the units are built off-site, the disruption caused by typical buildings is greatly
