Highlights have included NHSX CEO, Matthew Gould, confirming at the Rewired Conference and Exhibition on March 4 that members of the Digital Aspirant programme will be announced in waves between now and 2024.
In a light-hearted and often funny talk on the gender data gap, Caroline Criado-Perez had one message for the Digital Health Rewired audience: “Men are not a standard women fail to live up to”.
To end the day, there was the eagerly-awaited final of the Rewired Pitchfest 2020 which saw Celsium crowned the overall winner.
Celsium is placed in a patient’s armpit and is capable of providing a temperature measurement every four seconds. Unlike a traditional thermometer, is entirely non-invasive.

Diversity and inclusion dominated the agenda at the Rewired Leadership Summit on March 3 with keynotes coming from techUK president, Jacqueline de Rojas, who highlighted the importance of fostering diversity in healthcare to ensure technology caters to the needs of the NHS and the people it serves.
The Shuri Network also sent a clear message of improving diversity and inclusivity in the NHS is something everyone owns and “cannot be outsourced to HR”, in their afternoon panel session.
Providing at update on the Network’s activity since it’s launch at Digital Health Summer Schools in July 2019, Dr Shera Chok, who is one of the founder of the network, said the organisation has advised NHSX and NHSE, participated in podcasts and webinars and now have more than 480 members across the country.
“We’re here to help the NHS innovate, we’re here to help the NHS deliver their innovative objectives and we are here to improve patient safety,” she added.
