More than 2.2 million patient measurements submitted as NHS remote monitoring use accelerates

NHS organisations are rapidly expanding the use of remote monitoring services as health systems look to deliver more care closer to home, reduce pressure on hospitals and identify deterioration earlier.

Graphnet Health has announced that it is now supporting 84 live clinical pathways across 16 NHS organisations spanning 9 Integrated Care Systems and a site in Scotland through Graphnet Remote Monitoring powered by Luscii.

The latest phase has seen NHS organisations scale and modernise existing remote monitoring services through Graphnet Remote Monitoring powered by Luscii, bringing together a growing number of pathways and services onto a single integrated platform.

More than 2.2 million patient measurements have been submitted through the platform since the expansion began, supporting services including heart failure, COPD, frailty, diabetes, respiratory care, virtual wards and long-term condition management.

The rollout builds on Graphnet’s long-established remote monitoring capability, which has already supported more than 150,000 citizens across NHS and community services and monitored more than 60 million patient days through connected care programmes.

The wider Graphnet platform is used across more than 20 NHS Integrated Care Systems, supporting around 17 million people through shared care records, population health management and connected care services.

Heart failure and COPD currently represent the largest areas of adoption, alongside pathways supporting frailty, hypertension, respiratory conditions and diabetes.

Additional pathways include acute respiratory infections, asthma, bronchiectasis, COVID-19, paediatrics, palliative care, Parkinson’s, pneumonia, OPAT and oxygen weaning.

NHS interest in remote monitoring has continued to grow across both acute and community settings, with services increasingly using digital tools to help clinicians identify deterioration earlier, reduce unnecessary hospital attendance and support more patients safely at home.

The expansion is now live across a growing number of regions and services, demonstrating how remote monitoring is increasingly becoming embedded into day-to-day care delivery across different settings and geographies.

In Cheshire and Merseyside, remote monitoring is supporting services including Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, helping deliver digitally enabled care for patients with long-term conditions and those requiring virtual ward support.

As Peter Almond, Head of Service for Digital and Administration at Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust, said:

“We are delighted to be working with Luscii and Graphnet to develop this service further, supporting the NHS 10-Year Plan ambition to shift more care from hospitals into the community and expand digitally enabled care at home.”

In Stockport, services are using remote monitoring to support pathways including heart failure, frailty and respiratory care, helping patients receive acute support safely at home.

In Inverclyde, care teams are using the platform across COPD and care home programmes, while in Jersey, a new two-year pilot is exploring how remote monitoring can support more proactive care through pathways focused on frailty, falls, diabetes and wound care.

Rachel Foster, Project Lead for the Remote Monitoring Pilot at Family Nursing & Home Care, said:

“Family Nursing & Home Care is proud to be working in partnership with Graphnet and Luscii to explore how remote monitoring technology can support more proactive, preventative care for Islanders.

“With support from Digital Jersey’s CareTech programme, this pilot will help us test new ways of identifying early deterioration and supporting people with frailty and long-term conditions to remain well and independent at home.”

The programme has also included a major transition phase, bringing services onto a single, integrated remote monitoring platform now live across participating sites.

This is helping create a more consistent experience for patients and clinicians, while improving data sharing, pathway management and clinical oversight at scale.

Markus Bolton, Executive Director at Graphnet Health, said:

“This is a clear example of how remote monitoring is now scaling rapidly across the NHS.

“What’s particularly encouraging is the breadth of pathways now live. This is no longer confined to individual pilots or isolated services. Remote monitoring is increasingly being embedded across community, acute and long-term care, which is where it starts to have real transformational impact.

“Building on the remote monitoring capability already established across the NHS, this latest expansion shows how services can scale more quickly when the right infrastructure is already in place.

“When remote monitoring is connected into the wider Shared Care Record, it gives clinicians a much clearer, real-time view of patients. That supports earlier intervention, better decision-making and ultimately helps keep people well at home for longer.

“That shift towards more proactive, preventative care is exactly where the NHS needs to go.”
Jonathan Lewis, Managing Director, UK at Luscii, said:

“We’re seeing remote monitoring become an increasingly important part of day-to-day care delivery across the NHS.

“Services are designing and scaling pathways that work for their populations, whether that’s supporting people with long-term conditions, managing recovery at home or responding to more acute needs.

“The real value comes from combining clinical insight with patient data, enabling care teams to act earlier and more confidently.

“Ultimately, it’s about improving outcomes for patients while helping services manage demand in a more sustainable way.”

As adoption continues to grow, remote monitoring is expected to play an increasingly important role in NHS transformation, supporting the shift towards more preventative, community-based care and helping identify deterioration earlier before hospital admission is required.
