A "ground-breaking" study using artificial intelligence to support people with dementia has won an award celebrating the 70-year anniversary of the NHS.
"TIHM (technology integrated health management) for dementia" is led by Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
It is based on a network of internet-enabled devices, like sensors and monitors, installed in the home, which, in collaboration with artificial intelligence, allow clinicians to remotely monitor someone's health and safety around the clock.
And it was chosen as the regional winner of the NHS Future category in the NHS70 Parliamentary Awards.
The win followed support from, among others, Epsom and Ewell MP and Transport Secretary Chris Grayling - one of the MPs who nominated the study.
In a letter to the trust, he said: "It was fantastic to read of the pioneering study that you have launched, and the ability to improve care and safety for patients through the installed technology.
Now the study will be put against other regional winners for the national award, to be announced on July 4.
