Its about 2 30am, youre pretty much up to date on the headlines. Its time for the latest tech in click. This week x raying remotely. Drinking virtually. And exercising. Like a crazy person. Victory hello, you. Hope youre doing 0k. Laras on the end of this line, youre looking well, mate, how have you been . Hows the first week of not quite so lockdown lockdown been . It has been good being able to go out and do more exercise. I did 30,000 steps yesterday. Wow, is that good . I have no idea, no ones ever explained this step business to me. But talking of health, another issue that has been happening over the past couple of months is that when people have needed to go to the doctor or hospital, they have been nervous about either catching the virus or playing their part in overwhelming health systems. So that has meant in some cases, that people have missed urgent care that they really needed. Sojen copestake has been to harrogate District Hospital and a gp surgery in london to find out how staff has been trying to see more patients remotely where they can. When coronavirus hit the uk, we saw hospitals being rapidly set up to take more patients and even new ones were built. But in the last month, admissions to hospital Emergency Rooms have dropped to the lowest point since records began. Many hospitals have seen a decline in the number of patients coming in for Emergency Care or scheduled appointments due to the coronavirus. But technology is enabling safe social distancing while also ensuring that important issues arent missed. Finding ways to quickly adapt nhs system to remotely check on patients with acute or continuing illnesses has been an urgent task. We have been shown some of the ways doctors are working to carry on seeing patients without physically seeing them. Something as simple as sending an image on a phone is incredibly complex for the nhs. There are rules surrounding patient data that make it difficult to share scans, even between hospitals and doctors. But with coronavirus doctors had to quickly find ways around this to enable them to work from home. When covid occurred, the approach to the deployment changed. The nhs has a number of challenges around governance arrangements, they have a lot of Sensitive Information and sometimes that can be a barrier to deploying technology in the nhs. It was a very pragmatic approach taken by the guys across this region than to make sure that those final remaining steps were accelerated. The yorkshire imaging collaborative were already working with Agfa Healthcare on ways to share x rays and scans among six hospitals using the Xero Exchange network browser. But now the system is entirely accessible from home, meaning doctors can consult on radical patient care including for cancer from their living rooms, with no ppe required a no risk of spreading the virus. I think everythings escalated, over the last month i have really integrated it into my house so i can work almost exactly as i do at the hospital. All the data regarding the patient is all kept on hospital servers, which are all very secure, there is high level encryption, i have to use a special vpn network to access it, as soon as i log off there is nothing on my computer to identify that patient, or any images remaining whatsoever, so if i had my computer stolen theres no data on there. The only potential risk is when people come around sticking cameras through my window and have a look at whats on the screen. Gps are also finding new ways to see patients remotely. Were all now familiar with apps like gp at hand and push doctor which allow you to see a doctor by video call on your mobile. The medicspot takes things further. These se machines are used in 318 pharmacies and and 86 nhs care homes and gp surgeries, including dr yasmin razaks clinic in west london. It moves beyond the simple video call with a doctor by giving the Patient Access to a Blood Pressure monitor, pulse oximeter. Did you get a reading . Stethoscope. Contactless thermometer. And even a light to check their ear, nose or throat. 0bviously were doing everything remotely and digitally as much as possible for patient safety, but there are times we really do need to examine our patients. And so it gives us also that safety aspect that we can listen to the heart and lungs, look inside the throat and ear and make a proper diagnostic assessment rather than just rely on a conversation over the phone or a remote video. The system cuts down on the use of vital ppe as the doctor does not need to wear it and change for each consultation. This is very helpful as at this surgery, ppe is in short supply. While we were filming, a volunteer from a 3d Printing Charity dropped off a donation. This is a face shield, and these are 3d printed, the black part has been 3d printed by somebody locally, and then we have cut the visor and attach the elastic and we are disturbing them to Frontline Health workers. It turns out there is a distributed manufacturing capacity across the uk to make 140,000 so far. We have a need, and its wonderful that you have come to support us because unfortunately as we were saying, through normal procurement lines we cant actually access ppe, and so gps are having to do their best to find it from everywhere available to support their staff. I think its amazing that youve come and helped us, im really, really grateful. New apps are also allowing patients and doctors to interact remotely. Silo allows doctors to communicate with enhanced security, allowing them to annotate photographs and blur patient records so they dont have to meet in person. While zesty helps patients access their medical records, book appointments and even attend consultations online. We are often guilty about being slower to adopt technologies in health, but sometimes it takes a crisis like this to come out with a positive change, and i think its really shown us that the benefits of adopting remote technologies to deliver healthcare, and we wont be going back. That was fascinating, and jenjoins us now, hey mate. Hi, spen. It looks like the Health Service could be permanently changed by this, is that right . Certainly, i mean all the doctors we spoke to said that if there was one positive thing that would come out of this pandemic, was the acceptance and advancement of Remote Working and remote technology. After i filmed that bit with the medicspot i was really surprised to come home and find a text message from my local gp surgery asking me to buy all of those instruments, saying if you want you can have a Blood Pressure monitor, wireless scales, a thermometer for your house and a pulse oximeter that would really help them to work remotely with me. They said there was absolutely no obligation to do so, but it would be useful. And this is notjust about doctors consulting with patients remotely, is it . This is about doctors being able to collaborate with other doctors remotely too. Indeed, this is one of the other things we heard from the doctors, is how surprised they were and how happy to use tools like microsoft teams, especially for things like multidisciplinary meetings where you would have doctors being drawn in even potentially from different parts of the country to offer their expertise on a particular patients case. 0kjen, thank you for doing that, stay safe, stay well and we will see you soon. Hello and welcome to the week in tech. It was the week that Sirjames Dyson admitted that his scrapped electric car project has cost £500 million of his own money. But before you start planning a whip round for the vacuum cleaner mogul, this week he also ranked number one of the sunday times uk rich list with a fortune of £16. 2 billion. So it has not exactly put him in the poorhouse. Lots of unmanned air vehicle news now. A Company Called everdrone has begun delivering automated defibrillators via autonomous drones to scenes of cardiac arrest in sweden. It is part of a trial to see if they can get the kit to people in need as fast as possible. Canadian start up flash forest is using drones to fire seed pods into the ground on land outside toronto previously scarred by forest fires. The company says its drones can plant much faster than human beings. It was also the week that games publisher ubisoft took apple and google to court. Its are suing over a mobile game called area f2 which has been sold by both companies app stores, ubisoft says the game is a near carbon copy of its rainbow 6 siege. Unsurprisingly area f2s developers, ejoy, are also being sued. And finally, in this weeks edition of boston dynamics robot dog does stuff real canines can, rocos, a new zealand based Robot Company has demonstrated how the doggy droid could be used to herd sheep. Its useful, yes, but is he a cute good boy . No, i dont think he is. Hey, guys its after work on a friday. And i am enjoying a virtual pub crawl with a few mates. Playing different games depending on what pub we go to next. Its an attempt to try and create that friday feeling you get down at your local. And these kind of video calls have been pretty popular since pubs were shut as part of the uk lockdown. Once the awkwardness of organising a massive video call is broken, people can get together from all over to enjoy a catch up. As pubs battle for survival, some are recognising they can use the Virtual World in order to keep hold of customers and maybe even attract new ones. Brewery and pub chain brewdog had taken a different approach, hosting cookery and art classes, as well as tours of the distillery. Former pub ownerjay flynn has taken the popular pub quiz online. His most recent live streamed quiz reached over 182,000 viewers on youtube, smashing a world record. And after starting to host virtual pub sessions, the british naturism 0rganisation say theyve more membersjoin up in the past two months than any other time in history. And one pub in ireland has really gone above and beyond. The mckeevers bar uses a drone to fly bottles of beer to its local regulars, and for free. Pub owner Avril Mckeever told us that this was their way of giving back to the community. And if you cant get yourself to your favourite pub then why not just. Build it yourself . Tristan cross recreated his local pub in Virtual Reality. He even animated a chat between him and his mates. Its not quite finished yet, and tristan wants to add a few features like pulling your own pint or playing on a quiz machine. So through creativity and dedication, pub culture is being kept alive during the pandemic. However. Its not all fun and games. Drinking is a problem for some. Even before lockdown began. Recent research by alcohol change uk suggests that 35 of people are drinking less, however, 21 say they are drinking more during the pandemic. And that could be in part to a new kind of social pressure thats brought about by video calls. People are still very much wanting a glass in their hand and wanting that glass to be visible. Why are they doing that . That drink signifies adult socialising, or relaxed adult. So theres something about the visibility, something about the tech of being able to see each other that means we feel encouraged to have that glass, to show the same symbol. Whats really important is that a lot of people dont want to be drinking on those calls, or are nondrinkers, they are people whove recovered from a drinking problem. Its really, really important that we are not excluding those people, not deliberately, but i think subtly we can exclude. Those with a drinking problem could struggle with this new social norm. And many vital support services are on hold or unable to conduct face to face meetings. So what help can people get . Change grow live specialises in helping those with Substance Abuse issues. And while they have not been able to see people face to face, they are one organisation using video calls to be there for those in need. Although it has been a bit of a hurdle and been very new to us and very different to our day to day working, we found a lot of the clients have really benefited from it. Also for people that maybe wouldnt have been able to come out of their comfort zone to a group, because of maybe anxiety. And one of those people is shaun, who is seeing these sessions as a lifesaver. I was using alcohol to make everything quieter, i had a few hospital visits through the self harm, through not really wanting to be here anymore, if im honest. Sighs i have not dealt with the lockdown very well. The lockdown all of a sudden came about, i lost my Mental Health support in person. Drinking definitely was affected a few times by the lockdown, i felt like i needed to have a drink to take away, again, take away the feeling of the raised anxiety. The zoom meetings we have been having are so good. Youre in the comfort of your own home. You know, i can see every person that is talking. Some of the positives are that you dont have to show your face. You can just talk. People will learn a lot more about me through zoom because i am less nervous to talk to people on video, you see, than i am to do it in real life. But i definitely think that id like to see it post pandemic, definitely. The lockdown has put severe stress on us all. And for people in recovery, the loss of connection is huge, and this could be a triggering time. However, virtual counselling could make it easierfor those in need of help, now and in the future. In that report, then please do know that help is available and you can talk to people by contacting any of the websites on screen now. Yes, and another difficulty that people have been having in lockdown is maintaining physicalfitness. Were now allowed out a little bit more to do exercise, but, lets be honest it can be hard to do even at the best of times. So true, and thats why chris fox and kate russell are doing their best to get you back into peak physical condition. Spencer, i hope youve got your gym kit at the ready. Already wearing it joe wicks has become a National Hero during lockdown, with his daily exercise classes for kids. When i was at school, i mostly tried to avoid pe, so if youre the kind of person who needs exercising to be dressed up as something a little more fun, heres my top picks for the lockdown. Strictly come dancing star 0ti mabuse he has be making step by step dance classes for all ages and abilities. Theyre loads of fun to do, even if you dont have a partner. While olympic Medal Winners jadejones and bianca walkden, who also happen to be flatmates, take us through an easy taekwondo workout, which can be watched on the bbc sport website. Loads more celebrity athletes have been getting in on the lockdown motivation action under the guise of the living room cup, a weekly challenge to go head to head with the pros. You will find them all on the Nike Training Club app. Just watching those challenges is exhausting if you prefer to compete with people at the same level as you, both strava and fitbit let you set up challenges with your friends or the local community of app users. You can even take on one of the fitbit solo adventures, like spotting local landmarks. Augmented reality is put to great use in the challenges set by ar runner, which asks you to place the dots in an open area and then run about touching them as they light up. If you are completely new to exercising but fancy giving running a go, i can highly recommend an app that got me started a few years back. The nhs backed couch to 5k is available through the app or as a podcast series you can listen to while exercising. It talks you through a plan to get running 5k comfortably in nine weeks, and it really works. You could also try taking on one of the many social challenges doing the rounds, like staircase snowden, which sets the stair climbing goal of 4,610 steps to reach the summit of Mount Snowdon via the llanberis path, a favourite of hikers. See the plas why brenin instagram for details. Another fun augmented reality option to spice up your daily walk is wallame. With this app you can create geotagged works of art that other app users can see using the ar viewer. Now, if you are locked down with your family at home, then i think everyone getting involved is key to maintaining harmony. A brilliant example of this is the family lockdown boogie, created by jack buchanan. And, if you decide to give it a go yourself, make sure you tweet us a link to bbcclick. Family lockdown boogie we cant go out, so we are all about family lockdown boogie. I have to be honest, i have really struggled with my motivation during the lockdown, and im just not the kind of person that goes for a run im not a jogger so for the last week ive been travelling to exotic locations and working out in Virtual Reality. This is supernatural, a vr fitness experience, and the Company Promises its the most fun you can have working out, although thats what everyone who tries to trick me into exercise says. Im in machu picchu today and i have to strike these orbs as they come towards me, and when i see triangle, i have to squat into it and you have to forgive me if i dont put my back into it today because turns out after doing this for a week, your legs really hurt, so i guess its kind of working. You might notice a striking similarity with a popular vr game, beat saber, which is one of those breakout vr hits, and it is very similar, although the developers of supernatural have tried to distinguish it make it appeal to more thanjust a gaming crowd, and theyve done it by having fitness trainers in the game. Today im doing full body work with raneir. Enough talk, lets get into some warm up. And theyre using big name artists and songs. take on me by aha plays but theyre hoping to charge a monthly subscription, and that has annoyed some 0culus qwest owners, who are used to paying just once to own a game. 0k. Well, online from the company is chris milk. Chris, ive been doing this for a few days and my thighs are killing me is that normal . We hear that a lot. A lot of people arent used to lower body bodyweight exercises. What im excited about is people say that they are. Their lower body is sore but they dont actually remember the workout being hard. Nobody likes doing multiple squats in a row. If you can hide it inside of a fun activity, you dont remember the pain of the workout because it wasnt painful. How are you going to make it appeal to more than just gamers . Because i suspect most people who have one of these headsets are gamers. Were trying to bring Virtual Reality to a different demographic. The 0culus quest is what weve launched on. Were getting a lot of people that are saying they bought a headset either off of ebay or a off a third party for the purpose of exercise using supernatural, and we are engaging with all of them weve learned so much in the last month from having thousands of people inside of it. At the moment this is only available in the us and canada, where the earliest adopters are about to end their free trial month, so the company is about to find out if people are prepared to pay. One obvious downside to working out with vr is you get really sweaty in the headset, although supernaturals offering a free silicon face shield to anyone who signs up for the free trial. Ive been comparing the experience to ring fit, its nintendos latest fitness game for the switch, and you use your body and this ring to control a character on the screen. So it has you doing jogging, sports and yoga poses, even stretching and squeezing this ring to defeat an evil dragon in the game who wears a wrestling singlet. As you would expect from nintendo, its very cute and a little bit weird. Whats really clever is the controller can measure your heart rate to if youre working up a sweat, and i certainly did, and like a lot of nintendo games, this one is full of text from you have to skip, skip, skip your way through and a lot of the time ijust feel like, get on with it now, both of these might be a passing phrase, like wii fit was, but im determined to lose my lockdown weight and at least they got me moving every day and sweating it out. How absolutely fantastic was that . Weve got to talk to chris, hes online now. Mate, how do you feel after all that . Im exhausted doing that for a few days in a row has left my thighs so sore i could barely sit down. 0h goodness but was it better than doing a youtube workout . It cant be very comfortable wearing a vr headset for it . 0k, yeah, its definitely gross having the headset on. You get sweaty with vr at the best of times, and doing a full workout with it on, you do get very warm and steamy in there its not nice. But for me, at least with this, youre forced to do what its telling you, rather than if it was just a youtube video, i could just ignore it. Id worry me goggles would bounce off with the jumping squats. Did you have that . No, they havent fallen off yet, luckily. Ive dropped the controllers a few times, and im always really worried that when im swinging my arms around im gonna punch the fridge. So ive got to be careful with that one oh, dear unusual hazards but dont you think this is alljust a bit of a novelty, really . Would you keep doing it . 0k, yeah. It might be a fad, im not sure yet, but ultimately, for me, its got me working out. Before i was doing nothing, i wasnt going for a jog, now im doing these exercises every day. So im going to stick at it and work on my fad bod rather than getting a dad bod. Nice brilliant chris, youre such a great sport. Its always brilliant to talk to you, thanks for doing that for to us that is it from us for this week. You can keep up with the team throughout the week on instagram, youtube, facebook and twitter bbcclick. Im out of breath just thinking about all this. Thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. Bye bye. Hello there. There is plenty of dry and very warm weather in the forecast for the next few days. Now, during tuesday, the very highest temperatures were found across eastern and southern parts of the uk, 27 degrees to the west of london. It was a bit cooler further north and west not an awful lot cooler but actually as we go through the next few days, were going to see this area of High Pressure, which is really dominating the scene, shifting a little further eastwards. Now, the winds out ofthe High Pressure flow in a clockwise direction. So as the high shift eastwards, that will allow us to waft warm air northwards across just about all parts of the uk. But we start wednesday morning with the very mildest conditions across the south 13, 1a degrees in cardiff and in london. Not quite as mild further north. But as we go through the day ahead, were expecting lots of fine weather, some spells of sunshine, a bit of patchy cloud towards the south and east of england, and certainly more cloud into Northern Ireland and scotland. And that cloud mayjust start to fringe some patchy rain in across the far west. Those temperatures getting up to around 17 degrees there in glasgow. Once again, 2a or 25 across parts of south wales, central and southern parts of england. Now, as we go through wednesday night into thursday, we will see some outbreaks of rain pushing across the northern half of scotland, a weak frontal system pushing through. Further south, its dry with some clear spells on what will be a mild night for most lows of six to 12 degrees. Any early rain across scotland or nort heast england will clear very quickly on thursday. And then, as you can see, increasing amounts of sunshine. Bit of patchy cloud here and there, yes, but largely sunny skies. And at this stage, i think the highest temperatures will be found across western areas. So liverpool, cardiff, 25 degrees, but glasgow up to 22. A bit coolerfor some north sea coasts. Now, as we get into friday, remember, when you look at our maps and you dont see cloud, that means were expecting sunshine. A lot of blue sky overhead on friday. Again, those temperatures, 2a, 25, 26 degrees. Parts of south west scotland getting into the middle 20s. Still a bit cooler for some of those north sea coasts with a flow of air off the sea, but as we head into the weekend, High Pressure does remain dominant. It should fend off this frontal system. Yes, we mightjust see a little bit of rain fringing into the far north west of scotland at times, but generally speaking, its a dry weekend. And widely, it will be very warm, with those temperatures into the 20s. Welcome to bbc news.
