The document discusses an early warning system called Lifelight that uses smartphone cameras to predict health deterioration without any wearables or contact. It analyzes faces for 30 seconds to track National Early Warning Scores, which can alert if someone is at high risk of death within 24 hours. This allows for early intervention and prevention across care settings. A prototype has been developed and is undergoing clinical validation trials to calibrate it against standard ICU equipment. Next steps involve further development and seeking partners to trial its integration into local health systems and pathways.

2. Why is prevention so hard?
• No systems for early warning
outside acute
– Care homes lack resources
and training
– Informal carers lack know-
how
• Poor adherence to telehealth
– Complex equipment, time,
hassle
– Requires skilled call centres

Standard smartphone camera: No custom
hardware. No wearables.
No contact. No wires.
Face camera for 30 seconds, Lifelight™
works without touching.
Lifelight™: Predict. Prevent.

4. Early warning of deterioration
• Using proven National Early Warning Score
– Alerts if high risk of death within next 24 hours
• Allows NEWS tracking across continuum of care pathway
– Record a NEWS score in 30s with any smartphone
• Outcomes
– Reduced deaths
– Fewer unplanned admissions
– Encourage self-management
– Retain independence longer

5. Progress
• Full prototype developed
• Clinical Validation at UHS
– Medical researchers
undertaking pre-clinical trial
– Cohort of volunteers
– Calibrating Lifelight™ against
gold-standard ICU
equipment

6. Next steps
• Further interoperability and features
• Seeking trial partners and early adopters
– Wessex-wide trial tied into LDRs
– Co-design of streamlined pathways for STP
– Use of the data for prevention, outcome measurement…
