Cisco and Nottingham University Hospital transform the experience of Cystic Fibrosis sufferers
In an initiative to improve the experiences of Cystic Fibrosis patients both during hospital stays and beyond, Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust has announced a state of the art facility utilising technology from leading partners including Cisco.
George Jenkins OBE, Chairman of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust Trustees, said: People with Cystic Fibrosis regularly spend weeks at a time in hospital meaning their units become a second home. The personalised service offered by this unit, such as dedicated chefs and gym pods in comfortable surroundings, will support peoples wellbeing and make visits all the more relaxed, and provide the care that people need and deserve.
Utilising Cisco video technology, individual patient rooms are equipped with technology to not only enable high-quality video calling with family and friends, but virtual participation in group classes.
Group participation wouldnt previously have been possible owing to the nature of the condition and the need for separation between patients, but the introduction of virtual sessions will enable patients to learn to manage the unique requirements of their condition, including hyper-metabolism that demands a diet in excess of 5,000 calories a day, and the need for very specific physiotherapy.
This remarkable facility is literally transforming the way in which we are caring for Cystic Fibrosis patients here in Nottingham. This occasion is a wonderful opportunity to say thank you to the many people who have made our dream of having such a first class facility become a reality, including patients, major charitable donors and of course our staff. explained Dr Jane Dewar, Cystic Fibrosis Consultant.
This is a fantastic and impactful example of technology enriching peoples lives. What we are seeing here is the value of connectivity beyond just the technological, but between people. In this instance, connectivity and the ambition of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust are transforming the lives of people with Cystic Fibrosis. I whole-heartedly applaud the efforts of those involved and am extremely proud to be supporting them in their efforts. added Terry Espiner, Client Director, Healthcare, Cisco UK & Ireland.
Additional information:
The solution deployed by Nottingham University Hospital includes a state of the art Cisco Video network, utilising touch-screen intuitive control and high-definition cameras.
The solution also makes use of the Cisco patented Speaker Track technology. This creates a far greater user experience as the camera dynamically changes viewing perspectives based on the individual speaking.
The Gym pods make use of the Cisco DX80 range, providing the users with a unique, touch screen video enabled experience allowing them to communicate in a safe and friendly environment.
Ciscos Jabber Guest enables high-quality video calls from non-Cisco networks or devices with the simple click of a link.
The facility is supported by a Cisco local area network (LAN), wireless capability and Cisco security.
