Rwyf hefyd yn falch o gyhoeddi datblygiadCare and respond, ap newydd sy’n canolbwyntio ar adeiladu rhwydweithiau deallus a chryf o gwmpas unigolyn. Gall defnyddwyr rannu eu proffil iechyd – a elwir yn basbort – ag eraill, gan gynnwys y gwasanaethau brys a gallant sefydlu grŵp cymorth lleol a all eu helpu mewn argyfwng. Gall y defnyddiwr rannu’r pasbort â gwasanaethau iechyd yn ddiogel, gan godi ymwybyddiaeth o gyflyrau meddygol a all fod yn brin neu’n gymhleth, lle mae amser yn aml yn dyngedfennol, er mwyn cefnogi’r broses o wneud penderfyniadau clinigol. Cafodd yr ap ei ddatblygu yng Nghymru gan Science and Engineering Applications Ltd, mewn cydweithrediad â gwahanol grwpiau o gleifion a’r GIG, gyda chyllid grant gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Mae hwn yn enghraifft o’r hyn y gellir ei gyflawni drwy’r cydweithrediad rydym yn galw amdano yn ein Strategaeth Arloesi, Arloesi Cymru, a lansiwyd ddoe.
I’m also pleased to announce the development ofCare and respond, a new app centred on building strong informed networks around an individual. Users can share their health profile – called a passport – with others, including the emergency services and are able to set up a local support group who can help them in an emergency. The passport can be securely shared with health services by the user, raising awareness of medical conditions that may be rare or complex and often time-critical to support clinical decision making. The app has been developed in Wales by Science and Engineering Applications Ltd in collaboration with various patient groups and the NHS, with grant funding from the Welsh Government. This is an example of what can be achieved through the collaboration we call for in our new Innovation strategy, Wales Innovates, launched yesterday.
