The document discusses doctors' use of technology and the potential for technology to help address challenges facing the UK's National Health Service (NHS). Most doctors have smartphones and regularly use them for work-related tasks like searching for information. While technology adoption has increased, barriers still exist within the NHS. Technology solutions like smartphones, point-of-care testing, digital therapeutics, and machine learning could help save the NHS by addressing the relentless rise in healthcare demand and reducing costs since staff costs make up 70% of NHS spending. Predictions are that within 3 years over half the population will access their health records online, a third of the NHS workforce will work flexibly, and over a quarter of consultations will be virtual.
