Isla is building the visual component to the healthcare record.
We provide clinicians with the platform they need to receive, review and store images and videos directly from patients. This provides valuable clinical context for decision making whilst delivering convenient care for patients. The Isla platform is intuitive, endlessly scalable and approved by NHS Digital as a cloud storage solution.
A patient had combination therapy for scarring, and she was set up on Isla to take a picture every week. Since we had been tracking on Isla, the Consultant was able to see the full progression remotely.
An image really helps to identify those that can be safely booked in for virtual reviews. Without an image tissue viability nurses will often have to visit patients in person to make a clinical decision.
Seeing how the wound care healing process is developing and being able to share visual information about the wound with my colleagues is really helpful.
Isla has been helping with our day to day work. It’s an instant thing, you can have a nurse with a patient who takes a picture and I can review the picture straight away.
We, the thoracic champions in Harefield Hospital, recently launched the progressive web app solution ISLA Photo at Discharge to achieve comprehensive SSI surveillance bridging postoperative acute and community care. ISLA is ideal for retrieving reliable wound information which can be easily uploaded by the patient through simply clicking on a link they have received to their mobile phone. The ISLA team has always and continuously shown to be of great help, they function more as an additional part of our team than a separate institution. The patient acceptance of ISLA has been very good so far.
Patients or clinicians can easily capture and add images or video to a patient record. ISLA generates unique single use links which can be sent via SMS or email so a patient make a submission with just a few clicks. No need to log in to an account or download an application.
Isla is built to comply with the most robust web security standards. We use 256-bit server side encryption to secure all data and present this to the end user on demand without local storage. No data is stored locally on devices. We are 100% compliant with the NHS DSP Toolkit, accredited by CyberEssentials and registered with the Information Commissioner's Office and NHS Digital (ODS Code: 8KF89).
Isla is rapidly scaling across the NHS. Here’s why.
Our partners share their experience of using Isla in case studies covering usecases from dermatology to community nursing wound care management
