Health inequalities remain a pressing challenge in North East London, where patients in deprived areas face up to four times the risk of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality.

 In response, the NEL Integrated Care Board (ICB) partnered with Suvera to pilot a transformative virtual care model aimed at improving hypertension management in Tower Hamlets, Newham, and Waltham Forest.

This innovative programme targeted over 1,800 patients with previously suboptimal blood pressure control, many of whom had not engaged with healthcare services for over a year. Using advanced data analytics and the virtual care platform, Suvera delivered personalised interventions that prioritised accessibility, inclusivity, and timely care.

Key Achievements:

  • Clinical Outcomes: Patients saw an average 8.8 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure within just 41 days. Over 80% achieved better blood pressure control, significantly reducing their risk of heart attacks and strokes.
  • Efficiency Gains: Suvera’s approach eased pressure on GP practices, saving time and resources while enabling primary care teams to manage 31% more patients.
  • Economic Impact: By Year 5, the programme is projected to deliver a 300% return on investment, with savings split across primary and secondary care.

Suvera’s success demonstrates the potential of technology-enabled care to address systemic challenges, enhance patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare disparities. This pilot offers a blueprint for scaling similar initiatives across the NHS, paving the way for a more equitable and sustainable future.
