Designing technology that fits the NHS with NEC Health’s Paul McKeown

Our guest this week is Paul McKeown, Head of Product at NEC Health - one of the NHS's most significant technology and data partners.

NEC delivers national programmes for newborn hearing and diabetic eye for the national screening service in Ireland; and the tracking/failsafe software for national newborn screening in England – with more than ten million babies screened to date… In short, Paul has a front-row seat to how data moves through the system, and where it breaks down.

So today, we’ll be asking how do we stop building tools that feel like admin and start building tools that feel like support? And crucially, how do we design technology that actually fits the complexity of the NHS, rather than asking the NHS to fit the technology?...
