Due to the public concern about AI in medical settings, the evaluation of CHRONOS outputs include clinicians alongside patient and public.Thirdly, considering that people with dementia typically suffer from poor sleep quality, and disturbed sleep is a key predictor of cognitive decline, this is another area for Medtech innovation. The University of Surrey's Sleep Research Centre is developing remote monitoring in the use of to support dementia-friendly `healthy homes'. AI sensors to track sleep and circadian rhythms. This will provide the data to develop interventions for patients and their carers to use such as staying awake for a little longer, spending more time outside during the day, or changing the light in their living environment. The aim is to enable people to live in their own homes for as long as possible. Professor Derk-Jan Dijk has said that they are using AI sensors to track sleep and circadian rhythms. This will give us the data to develop interventions for patients and their carers to use with the aim to enable people to live in their own homes for as long as possible.Fourthly, we are increasingly seeing the value of point-of-care diagnostics across mental health services. An example is Early Intervention Psychosis Services, which are internationally seen as an effective public health prevention model, for early treatments to reduce morbidity. Medtech allows clinics to adopt psychical health diagnostics such as blood tests in a one-stop environment speeding up treatment and reducing harm. An example with patients who have a treatment-resistant Schizophrenic illness taking Clozapine, which as well as being the most effective medication, has life-threatening side effects. The tech ensures the treatment is safe for patients and any side effects are managed, with up to weekly blood tests, so that patients can be in a community setting. In conclusion, this article has given examples of how Medtech is currently making an impact on 21st Century mental health care. The plan for a digital NHS has been articulated in the `The Topol Review (2019)- Preparing the healthcare workforce to deliver the digital future' which gives a future direction for those readers interested.
