First experience of NHS video GP doc appointment. Very impressive. Friendly GP, clear information. Health care from the sofa. Making straightforward care quick and simple. How often does inconvenience of appointment cost us in preventable care later? @babylonhealth @NHSEngland

[futurconomy @futurconomy]

Excited to try out the new @NHSEngland @babylonhealth video GP service experience on my mobile later. Interesting to know how the measures of success. Does it handle the worried well better, or encourage more time and cost with them, or are the benefits from prevention savings?

@siobhankennedy4 Why perception UK behind in tech? We lead in many sectors. Eg highest online retail spend in world, one of mobile pioneers.

[futurconomy @futurconomy]

@duncanlogan UK still highest online spend per head I think? Density of UK population, commuting congestion, mobile takeup, smart retail makes it work.
