hello, you. hope you're doing 0k. lara's on the end of this line, you're looking well, mate, how have you been? how's 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—one‘s 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. so, jen 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 aren't missed. finding ways to quickly adapt nhs systems 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 then 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 critical patient care including for cancer from their living rooms, with no ppe required and no risk of spreading the virus. i think everything's 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 there's no data on there. the only potential risk is when people come around sticking cameras through my window and have a look at what's on the screen. gps are also finding new ways to see patients remotely. we're 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 machines are used in 318 pharmacies and and 86 nhs care homes and gp surgeries, including dr yasmin razak‘s 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 we're 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 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 it's wonderful that you have come to support us because unfortunately, as we were saying, through normal procurement lines we can't actually access ppe, and so gps are having to do their best to find it from everywhere available to support their staff. i think it's amazing that you've come and helped us, i'm 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 don't 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 it's really shown us the benefits of adopting remote technologies to deliver healthcare, and we won't be going back. that was fascinating, and jen joins 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 patient‘s case. 0k, jen, 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 far as possible. canadian startup flash forest is using drones to fire seedpods 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. it's 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 six siege. unsurprisingly area f2‘s developers, ejoy, are also being sued. and finally, in this week's 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. it is useful, but is he a cute good boy? no, i don't think he is.

hey, guys! it is 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. it's 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 has said they have more members joining 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 can't 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. it is 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. . . it's 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 that is 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, there is 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. what is really important is that a lot of people don't want to be drinking on those calls, or are nondrinkers, they are people who have recovered from a drinking problem, it is 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 wouldn't 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 i'm 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. you're in the comfort of your own home. you know, i can see every person that is talking. some of the positives are that you don't 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 i would 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. that was 0mar, and if you've been affected by any of the issues 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. we're now allowed out a little bit more to do exercise, but, let's be honest — it can be hard to do even at the best of times. so true, and that's why chris fox and kate russell are doing their best to get you back into peak physical condition. spencer, i hope you've

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 you're the kind of person who needs exercising to be dressed up as something a little more fun, here's my top picks for the lockdown. strictly come dancing star 0ti mabuse has been making step—by—step dance classes for all ages and abilities. they're loads of fun to do, even if you don't 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 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 can't 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 i'm just not the kind of person that goes for a run — i'm not a jogger — so for the last week i've been travelling to exotic locations and working out in virtual reality. this is supernatural, a vr fitness experience, and the company promises it's the most fun you can have working out, although that's what everyone who tries to trick me into exercise says. i'm in machu picchu today and i have to strike these orbs as they come towards me, and when i see a triangle, i have to squat into it and you have to forgive me if i don't put my back into it today because turns out after doing this for a week, your legs really hurt, so i guess it's 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 and make it appeal to more thanjust a gaming crowd, and they've done it by having fitness trainers in the game. today i'm doing full body work with raneir. enough talk, let's get into some warm—up. and they're using big—name artists and songs. "take on me" by a-ha plays but they're 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, i've 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 aren't used to lower body bodyweight exercises. what i'm excited about is people say that they are... their lower body is sore but they don't actually remember the workout being hard. nobody likes multiple squats in a row. if you can hide it inside of a fun activity,

you don't remember the pain of the workout because it wasn't 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. we're trying to bring virtual reality to a different demographic. the 0culus quest is what we've launched on. we're getting a lot of people that are saying they bought a headset either off of ebay or off a third—party for the purpose of exercise using supernatural, and we are engaging with all of them — we've 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. 0ne downside to working out with vr is you get really sweaty in the headset, although supernatural‘s offering a free silicon face shield to anyone who signs up for the free trial. i've been comparing the experience to ring fit, it's nintendo's latest

fitness game for the switch, and you use your body and this ring to control this character on the screen, and 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, it's very cute and a little bit weird. what's clever is the controller can measure your heart rate too if you're working up a sweat, and i certainly did, and, like a lot of nintendo games, this one is full of text prompts you have to skip, skip, skip your way through and a lot of the time ijust feel like, "get on with it!" a lot of these might be a passing phrase, like wii fit was, but i'm determined to lose my lockdown weight and at least they got me moving every day and sweating it out. how absolutely fantastic was that? we've got to talk to chris, he's online now. mate, how do you feel

after all that? i'm 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 can't be very comfortable wearing a vr headset for it? 0k, yeah, it's 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 — not nice. at least with this, you're forced to do what it's telling you, rather than if it was just a youtube video, i could just ignore it. i'd worry me goggles would bounce off with the jumping squats. did you have that? no, they haven't fallen off yet, luckily. i've dropped the controllers a few times, and i'm always really worried that when i'm swinging my arms around i'm gonna punch the fridge. so, i've got to be careful with that one! oh, dear — unusual hazards! but don't you think this is alljust a bit of a novelty, really? would you keep doing it? 0k, yeah. it might be a fad, i'm not

sure yet, but ultimately it's got me working out. before i was doing nothing, i wasn't going for a jog, now i'm doing these exercises every day. so, i'm going to stick at it and work on my ‘fad' bod rather than getting a dad bod. nice! brilliant! chris, you're such a great sport. it's 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. i'm out of breath just thinking about all this. thanks for watching, and we will see you soon. a lot of sunshine around today but there is also quite a few blustery

showers about and across the northern half of the uk winds have been howling in the last day or so especially around western scotland, the pennines, the highlands as well, and on top of that heavy rain. this is the low pressure that has brought the rough weather to northern parts. still close by so it is making its presence felt that the size of the country is closer to the high pressure so you country is closer to the high pressure so you have two extremes with the rough weather in the north but further south it is not quite as windy although it is still quite blustery and here we are closer to the high pressure. winds in the north and excess of 50 mph through the afternoon and through the midlands and excess of a0 mph. temperatures vary from the high teens to maybe 20 in london. much fresher off western scotland. the rain and wind will continue for a time through this evening. remy last

all through the night through western scotland and rather a of it. patchy rain extending into the lake district and parts of yorkshire and to the south it is going to be dry. it starts off dry and sunny in the south but you can see in northern area is always a bit more cloud. but cloud and any rain should eventually fade so most of us are left with a decent day on sunday. the best of the weather closer to the high pressure in the south so we have 18 in plymouth on 22 in london. sunday is going to feel warmer because the winds will feel lighter. high pressure builds from the south next week but it is always on the edge of us week but it is always on the edge of us and we are expecting weather fronts to brush the north—west of the uk so that means northern ireland in western scotland and for some and rain on monday but the vast majority of the uk is in for sunshine and with southerly winds those temperatures will be rising back up to 25 in london on 20 in

newcastle and the week ahead if you like the one weather is looking very promising with temperatures climbing and there is a possibility they could hit the high 20s sometime next week in the south. goodbye. is sinclair. that is a breathtaking goal. ryan giggs, patrick

good afternoon. the prime minister's top aide dominic cummings, is facing calls to resign after it emerged that he'd travelled more than 250 miles with his sick wife to be near relatives during the lockdown. downing street says that mr cummings drove from london to county durham to ensure that his young son would be properly cared
