NHS England is set to equip patients at risk of deadly sepsis with wearable technology, aiming to prevent 1,000 deaths annually.
This initiative forms part of a broader strategy to enhance monitoring and treatment, targeting the prevention of thousands of sepsis-related fatalities by 2035.
The wearable devices, including watches or mobile phone technology, will track vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate to flag patient deterioration.
Early detection is crucial, as delayed treatment significantly increases the risk of death; sepsis directly causes 4,000 deaths a year in England, with a quarter deemed preventable.
High-risk groups such as cancer patients, older people and those with serious mental illness are among those who could benefit, with some hospitals already trialling the technology.
