Apple in Healthcare
Recent technological advancements have greatly benefited hospital trusts around the UK, revolutionising the way care is delivered and managed. Hospitals introducing these new innovations are able to offer enhanced patient experiences while streamlining workflows for clinicians.
In a recent study, senior patients were provided with iPad devices to monitor and share health data with their care team via video conferencing. This innovative approach led to a remarkable 70% reduction in A&E visits and a 26% decrease in readmissions, demonstrating the effectiveness of technology in enhancing patient care and streamlining staff operations.1, 2
Why Hospital Trusts are Adopting Apple Technology

connect remotely with patients and conduct groundbreaking medical research.

Why choose Apple Devices for your hospital trust?
Apple devices are transforming hospital care by enabling real-time data collection, improving patient monitoring, and enhancing communication between healthcare teams.
Combining these devices with an EPR system enables clinicians to securely access patient records from anywhere in the hospital, streamlining their workflows and allowing them to spend more face-time with patients.
Hospital care
Empowering clinicians to connect from anywhere.
With apps on iPhone, iPad and Mac, care providers can work more efficiently and deliver more personal care to patients. Clinicians can have access to electronic medical records from anywhere in the hospital – and beyond.
Nurses can securely communicate with each other using apps on iPhone. And patients can stay informed, connected and entertained on iPad, with apps that allow them to see lab results, communicate with care teams and family, and enjoy media and games.
Care at home
Extending healthcare to the home.
At home, Apple products help patients stay involved in their care. Care at home apps empower patients to manage their medical conditions and share information with care providers.
HealthKit-enabled apps and medical devices give patients an easy way to track and share health data with care teams through the Health app. Apple Watch offers options for monitoring heart health and detecting falls, and it encourages users to sit less, move more, and get some exercise..
Medical research
Expanding the reach of healthcare research.
With ResearchKit, institutions can create iOS and iPadOS apps to serve as powerful tools for medical research. Enrol participants, capture informed consent, and gather medical information more frequently, directly from patients. And scale up your cohort while keeping administration manageable.
Procure Apple Technology via Crown Commercial Service (CCS) TePAS 2 Framework
When considering Apple in healthcare, it is important to consider your digital strategy as a whole – even the means of procurement. Sync can be found on a variety of Frameworks, including Crown Commercial Services’s (CCS) TePAS 2 and other Public Sector Frameworks that allow streamlined compliant procurement for healthcare organisations.
