@Tactuum is thrilled to announce that Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) [@OUHospitals] is now LIVE with the Quris platform delivering antimicrobial stewardship guidelines on any device, at any time, online and offline, to front-line staff.

🥋🏆Black belts aren’t born – they’re sponsored.

As of last year, @Tactuum has proudly been sponsoring local Karate club, Wado Kai Central Karate (WKC) [@KarateWkc], to support their commitment to foster a healthy, nutritious and active lifestyle for members within the local community.

Run by Kirsten Bonar and her husband Grant Bonar, WKC Karate is a club that certainly packs a punch, with well over 100 students currently in training, many of whom representing Scotland.

Most recently, the club hosted a grading event where @Tactuum's very own tech lead Colin Anderson [@oddball_1977 ] had the pleasure of attending one of the club’s bi-annual grading events celebrating Scotland’s young and aspiring karate champions!

Supporting local clubs like WKC Karate that actively strive to engage with and foster healthy living to their members is just one of the ways @Tactuum continues to champion community spirit – both in and out of the dojo 🥋

🚀Now Live : The ASSIGN Cardiovascular Risk Score Calculator

The ASSIGN Cardiovascular Risk Score calculator – developed by @Tactuum – is officially live and here is how this Class 1 medical device is prioritising the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

We designed, constructed and delivered the ASSIGN Calculator on behalf of Healthcare Improvement Scotland (@online_his) with usability and patient safety at the core.

ASSIGN is a Classified Class 1 Medical Device, thanks to regulatory assessment by @innoscothealth.

With its recent recalibration, ASSIGN estimates a refreshed 10 year percentage risk of developing cardiovascular disease for people in Scotland currently without a diagnosis. It is digital tools like these that support clinicians in identifying earlier intervention and prevention.

📲 💉The Prevent the Progress of Diabetes app

Developed by the Right Decision Service and delivered via @Tactuum #Quris Platform - the Prevent the Progress of Diabetes app, managed by Health Improvement Scotland – helps patients of all digital skill levels access tools and resources to support safe, effective behaviour change for diabetes prevention and remission.

The app centres its focus on patients with pre-diabetes, gestational diabetes and those who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the last six years or are suitable to aim for remission. An 8-week pilot study in @NHSGrampian found 92.3% of participants rating the app as easy to use, while offering convenient access, via mobile app or internet search.

The development of the app was based on the consultation and co-design between patients and healthcare professionals who sought to create a space that empowered the self-management of patients’ diabetes, with the added support of oversight from healthcare professionals.

The Prevent the Progress of Diabetes App provides the tools and resources required to help prevent the progression of diabetes and provide support to patients by:
· Building patient confidence and emotional wellbeing through digital tools for reducing diabetes risk
· Offering weight and exercise management options while facilitating communication with healthcare professionals
· Enabling interaction with trusted healthcare professionals, supporting long-term patient use
