Technology-enabled remote monitoring as a catalyst for equality: supporting people with a learning disability or severe mental illness to access annual physical health checks.

This episode explores how different regions are harnessing technology to help people with a severe mental illness or learning disability receive important annual physical health checks.

Paul McCourt, Digital Mental Health Lead for the North East and Yorkshire Region, and Dr Inder Sawhney, Consultant Psychiatrist and Clinical director at Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, compare approaches, learning, and discuss how technology can help reduce the disproportional prevalence of chronic conditions and reduced life expectancy among some of the most vulnerable in society.
