Growing demand for access to NHS primary care means services are under increasing pressure. Many GP providers are using digital technologies (video/email/ other online consultations) to try to improve access and efficiency. Alongside this is rapid growth in health technologies, which collect, measure, or interpret health data, and provide health information or advice.
