The document discusses three potential nominations for innovation awards in 2020, including a health screening app based on DNA analysis, an ultrasound device that adds tactile sensing to increase diagnostic capabilities, and a tool that uses regression analysis to predict longevity. It provides background information and evidence from other studies to support the benefits and impact of telehealth and remote patient monitoring technologies.

• Corporate Manslaughter
• Professional Bodies
• Individual Clinicians

10. Crooks Report 2017
• SCTT- expanded powers
• Hospital Admission Act- based on Mental
Health Act
• SASM- Scottish Audit of Seniors’ Mortality

11. Nomination 1
Category: Health Screening
• Based on the “Who’s the Daddy App”
• iMAPurDNA

14. Nomination 2
Category: Diagnostics
• Further development of iUltrasound

16. Hand-DRUMS®
Multi-dimensional acoustic views
Adding multiple acoustical views increases the diagnostic capability of HAND-DRUMS® to
recognize and discard imaging artifacts. By adding a sense of “touch” to each sensor the
elasticity of soft tissue can be imaged as an additional diagnostic measure of tissue health.*
