Vaccine Fridge Monitoring for
Aintree Park Group Practice

As Aintree Park Group Practice play their crucial role in vaccinating the UK public against COVID-19, it became clear that they required a system which would help them better monitor the conditions in which the vaccinations were stored.

Having previously experienced inaccuracies in the recording of fridge temperatures, there were numerous potential risks such as losing vaccine supply, incurring unnecessary waste and potential financial loss.

To avoid these risks, the group practice chose to implement an Internet of Things, remote temperature monitoring system. The team selected Invisible Systems ISL124B device, capable of accurately recording fridge temperatures and providing data in real-time.

Made up of both temperature and energy sensors, the trust began monitoring fridge temperatures and energy usage across all 14 of their GP surgeries. It was important for the team at Suffolk Primary Care to be able to quantify the impact of the pilot project and the savings generated in order to justify ongoing investment from the primary care practice.
