Welcome to Eastern AHSN’s final newsletter of 2021. Below are just some of the latest developments and exciting projects that have been keeping us busy over recent months. Alongside a blog from our Commercial Director Dr Louise Jopling on developing a value proposition we are also pleased to share news of two exciting projects we are delivering in partnership with the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration East of England (NIHR ARC EoE). This important work reflects our growing relationship with the ARC and extends our work in the areas of enabling independent living and improving mental health care.
We hope you will be able to take some time off over the holidays to enjoy time with your friends and family and thank you for all your partnership this year to make a meaningful difference to our communities. We look forward to working with you and furthering our impact in the new year.
Wishing you a happy Christmas, Piers Ricketts Chief Executive at Eastern AHSN

Does remote monitoring deepen health inequality? Eastern AHSN has partnered with the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration East of England (NIHR ARC EoE) to assess the impact of remote monitoring technology on health services and citizens. The project, which is being funded through the NHS Insights Prioritisation Programme (NIPP), aims to evaluate how remote monitoring can be used within developing integrated care systems (ICSs) to track a wide range of conditions at home and who it can help most. | |

In the news: Cambridge-based CamDiab’s CamAPS FX app helps patients manage diabetes “Like most parents with a newly diagnosed child with type 1 diabetes, Sam quickly became an expert at finger prick tests, basal and bolus insulin dosing and what to do when her daughter was hypoglycaemic… Then, in January 2020, Sam was introduced to the CamAPS FX app – and hasn’t looked back since.”

Blog: The importance of a winning value proposition Many innovators struggle to make expected progress and some fail because their innovation does not address a recognised problem, is seen as unaffordable or because they can’t clearly explain the benefits of their innovation. If you can’t articulate the value of your product, how can we expect buyers to adopt it? Read the latest blog by Dr Louise Jopling, Commercial Director at Eastern AHSN, where she shares her tips on how to succeed with your value proposition. | | | |
