I was scary.
He was small.
Really small.
He wasn't getting the correct blood flow.
Things were really bad.

He was deteriorating so quickly.
Dystonia,
it's a condition, we have like
uncontrollable muscle spasms.
Parents often find it really difficult
to describe the problems
that they're seeing in their child.
So by taking a video is incredibly useful.
A father that we had in the neonatal unit told us about the challenge he was going through.
He actually asked us
if we could find a way to send
and share with him videos of his son
so that he could view those
when he couldn't be here.
We connected with vCreate.
They had a secure, cloud based system
that allows video
sharing with registered users.
And we thought that Microsoft Azure
just fit the bill.
We were able to very quickly spin
up compute, much more high
specification databases.
We would not have been able to have scaled
the way we did during COVID
if we hadn't had the infrastructure
that Azure provided to us.
Waking up in the morning
and seeing the pictures
and it is nice because you can share
it as well.
And the key thing about this system is
that when the parents upload their videos,
they also upload some clinical information
about the episode.
Whenever you are providing
health tech, security is absolutely key.
We utilise Defender for Cloud,
Web Application Firewall, the V2.
So all the technologies
that Microsoft provided to us
were kind of out of the box, really.
It was amazing.
We were able to very quickly
spin up security solutions
that ticks all the boxes.
vCreate has been pivotal with it all,
which has been huge.
He is now able to walk.
He can run as well, can’t you. It’s really sorted things out and kind of gave you your life back,
hasn’t it. Yeah.
Scottish Health Technology
Group has estimated that we're saving
approximately £675 per patient.
We're spending much less time,
create cost efficiencies,
but also resource efficiencies
with the teams.
The system is now being used to share over
half a million photos and videos
securely with patient families.
Another benefit to choosing Azure
is the DevOps Development
Team are very quickly able to deploy
and run and test code very quickly and easily.
Whenever we need to upgrade anything,
we're able to do that
very quickly and on demand.
The fact that people have the ability
to send videos to those specialists
or whichever doctors are dealing with them
and Microsoft really does help
the medical world doesn't it.
