Clinicians now use mobile devices and applications to submit prescriptions, diagnose illnesses and access and update medical records. Patients use mobile devices to facilitate remote care, access applications to improve recovery time and submit real-time vital information and documentation that can help clinicians provide better treatment. The AirWatch EMM platform provides a secure way for healthcare organisations to track assets across the organisation, distribute apps and content, while enabling devices to be compliant with industry standards with secure access to sensitive medical data.

"As mobile technology continues to change the patient care model for healthcare providers, we've experienced a rapid increase in adoption from providers looking to improve the quantity and quality of care," said Ian Evans, vice president and managing director – EMEA, AirWatch by VMware. "Our relationship with such a high proportion of the UK's NHS trusts and CCGs supports our position as a technology leader and innovator in the healthcare sector. We're proud that our technology is being used to make life easier for clinicians and patients."

Customer Testimonials

  • "Following the deployment of our emergency app, we have better visibility of where the patients are in the emergency department, and we can also view which nurse or doctor is assigned to them," said Ian Curr, assistant director of information, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust. "When a patient is discharged, the complete record of their visit, including all clinical notes, is sent immediately to their doctors. This provides more detailed and accurate information so follow-up care can be of the highest quality."
  • "At 2gether NHS Foundation Trust, AirWatch is used to help keep the Children and Young People Service secure," said Rob Blagden, programme manager, 2gether NHS Foundation Trust. "At the end of appointments, patients are prompted to answer questions directly on the iPad. The data can then be accessed by healthcare professionals to assess the progress of treatment."
