Large-scale adoption through behaviour change

A unique digital healthcare system that delivers outcomes

“This is the most helpful development in healthcare that I can remember in 35 years as a GP.”

Our approach

Patients who are healthy, confident and empowered through agency drive high value in healthcare and reduce the need for intervention. Similarly, clinicians who are empowered, informed and equipped with high-value, powerful tools achieve high-impact health improvement outcomes.

Digital health support for patients and clinicians is becoming utilised more frequently in healthcare but often lacks infrastructure behind them to reach their full potential and drive significant improvement of outcomes. In contrast to typical providers, we offer a comprehensive joined-up infrastructure for implementation on a population-wide scale. This adoption at scale, brings the benefit of standardisation, reducing variation and inequality through a sustainable digital behaviour change system, with reported successful outcomes.

“We have now been able to demonstrate clear improved asthma control and a reduction in healthcare utilisation and admissions” – NHS Consultant

“It’s really well thought out and covers a lot of really useful information – things I’d not considered myself and hadn’t been told by my GP.” – Patient

“This deserves every award it gets”- NHS Consultant

Our Services

Encouraging large-scale populations to adopt simple yet effective health-improving behaviours gives immense value. Nonetheless, motivating such a large and diverse population to embrace this poses significant challenges and often results in variation, especially when many variables are unknown. Only one percent of pilot studies eventually achieve scale outside of the initial controlled environment.

As experts in population implementation and scaling, we work to ensure that adoption is successful at scale, reducing variation and ensuring value is realised in the healthcare system.

The ICST system is built on scientific methodology in population and individual behaviour change. This is delivered and supported with a unique, award-winning digital infrastructure.

We do this in three ways:

Assessing the feasibility of the implementation of your project

Supporting projects teams throughout implementation

Training teams to learn the skills of formal implementation

Our Products

The ICST Virtual Health System is a joined-up digital support for patients and practitioners to adopt the practice that results in improved outcomes. It takes healthcare beyond the doors of the health services and into the patient’s own environment, 365 days a year, empowering them, improving their well-being and health outcomes, resulting in a reduced demand on the health system.

Our Virtual Health System is composed of disease-specific toolkits that are ready to be introduced into healthcare systems. These toolkits have been proven to deliver positive outcomes.

36% of patients regularly using the ICST patient self-management apps reduce their visits to the GP. 44% of those with suboptimal control report reductions in GP visits.
19% of patients regularly utilising the ICST self-management apps reduce their admissions to A&E. 33% of those with suboptimal control report reductions in A&E admissions.
Significant reduction in hospital stays, adverse events and deaths
36% increase in the proportion of Asthmatic patients who do not use their reliever inhaler and a 19% decrease in patients who use their reliever inhaler more than 10 times per week.

The toolkits are available as ready-to-go products. We can also work with you to create toolkits for your disease group.
