Patients Know Best

edit

Patients Know Best (PKB) is the first company to integrate into the NHS Connecting for Health network to offer secure tools for patients to work with clinicians. Patients using the PKB website can:

1. Send and receive messages securely with their clinicians, e.g. to ask questions about the use of insulin.
2. Send data to their clinicians, e.g. daily blood sugar results.
3. Access the medical notes from their clinicians, e.g. three-monthly HbA1c levels for long-term sugar control.

The company primarily sells its tools to health care institutions so they can provide these services to their patients.

Patients Know Best was chosen as a finalist in Seedcamp 2009.
