Sensory impairment in West Yorkshire
Can digital tools improve the experience of people accessing health information and support?
Good Things Foundation worked with South West Yorkshire STP and mHabitat to explore ways that digital inclusion can improve health interactions for those with sensory impairments.
Understanding that each individual has unique needs and being open to the technology that they use in their day to day lives has meant that GP appointment satisfaction has risen considerably for those with sensory impairments.
We have published a list of apps that can help and guidance on how to implement learning into other GP practices.

As a wave 2 NHS WDP Pathfinder, Good Things Foundation worked with South West Yorkshire STP, mHabitat, local CCG's, GP's and voluntary sensory impairment groups to understand the current situation and how the digital market can be used to break down barriers to health.
