Well this is bizarre!Source
NHS to track people's kettles and fridges to reduce 'avoidable' admissions
Yes, you read that title correctly. Whatever next? Do you live in Somerset or Buckinghamshire? NHS England has rolled out a number of new invasive and intrusive measures, all in the name of keeping you safe. Where have we heard that phrase before?
Patients who have ‘complex health needs’, who are at risk of hospital admissions or who rarely contact their GPs, will have sensors placed on their kettles and fridges to monitor any changes in their eating and drinking habits using Artificial Intelligence. Preventative care will be deemed, and this will include ‘food parcels’ and referral to specialist doctors.
Whatever next? Care traffic control centres? Expanded virtual wards, another grand title for ‘your bed, your bedroom’. Sadly, I kid you not.
