SAFETE

Health emergencies can happen unexpectedly to anyone at any time. If after-hours primary care services are not available or are difficult to access, patients will visit the emergency department (ED) to seek help, which results in ED congestion. The SAFETE project aims to develop digital health systems to transform after-hours urgent primary care service delivery by offering the right care at the right time. The system includes virtual care, sensing using patients' own cameras and wearables, data intelligence, and clinical intelligence. It will have a positive impact on health system operations, patients and health professionals and will optimise costs at the same time.
