Healthcare is a huge issue in the UK right now. Hospital beds are in high demand and getting the care a patient needs for the length of time they really need it is much harder than it should be. This is an interesting approach to solve the problem, but I wonder how comfortable I would feel in a strangers house whilst in recovery? How for example are individuals assessed? I like to see technology being used to solve real social problems, interested to see how this works out.
