Kings College Hospital is developing health care related technologyMedopadWe use the Apple Watch app made for cancer treatment for cancer patients. When it is time to take medicine, the patient wears the arm wrapped in Apple Watch "Notice on how many medications to take" notice arrives, and patients can tap Apple Watch several times It seems that you can send information such as physical conditions and symptoms of diseases, drug taking situation and body temperature to the doctor in real time.

Dan Vahdat, CTO of Medopad, says, "Once the treatment of one patient is over, Apple Watch can be rented to the next patient, so the introduction cost of Apple Watch is 50 pounds per person (Approx. 9500 yen), compared with the fact that the medicine of patients receiving cancer chemotherapy is 1000 pounds (about 190,000 yen) per day, Apple Watch can be used as a medical treatment site There is enough value to introduce it to the company, "he says the merit of using Apple Watch.

BritishNational Health Service(National Health Service, NHS) invests about 10% of the budget for cancer treatment, but if you put Apple Watch in the medical field, the quality of medication management will increase and the use of hospital emergency department etc It is possible to reduce the budget.

Medopad is planning to introduce Apple Watch as a pilot in other hospitals in London and private hospitals outside the UK, such as China, so that it can be used as a treatment for diseases other than cancer and as a health management device for the elderly Apple Watch's sensor will help, I am trying.
