The five winning projects will be revealed in the autumn.<\/p>\n<p>The projects that are taken forward will be given support from NHS England, who will also pay for consultancy advice and upfront development work. It will also use its links to existing project partners such as BT Health to help the projects develop.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesman said: \u201cWe want to use this as a test bed on innovations in embedded technology and active monitoring, or facilitating virtual consultations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the US, we know that a lot more healthcare is being run through technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the reasons we want to do this is we feel this thinking is not mainstreamed enough, so that\u2019s the longer term objective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Old Oak Common, west London; Grosvenor Estate\u2019s Barton Park, Oxford; and Taylor Wimpey\u2019s Cranbrook, east Devon have all said they would be interested in taking part in the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>It is hoped the five towns or developments would help to create communities that not only support social cohesion, but that also lend to physical activities such as walking and cycling.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the integration of new digital technologies would enable people to live independently in their own homes, placing care back into these communities.<\/p>\n<p>The schemes could also promote the sharing of land and buildings such as NHS clinics, schools, and other public services.<\/p>\n<p>Stevens said it was important to work with the community to put innovative healthcare at the heart of urban planning.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWe want to work together with local councils and others to design and develop new town partnerships that put innovative health and social care practice at the very heart of urban planning to create healthier places to live from the outset.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn practical terms that means a triple agenda: designing-in healthy living, capitalising on new home-based care and technologies to support older people at home, and sharing infrastructure across public services to make smarter use of taxpayers investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News towns or schemes of more than 250 homes will form part of a new NHS England initiative to trial design ideas and digital technologies aimed at improving health&#8230; NHS England is seeking five new towns or developments of more than 250 homes to trial a new project.
