Empowering Nurses Through Innovation: BUZUD at the NHG Health Nursing Innovation Festival 2025

BUZUD was honoured to be part of the NHG Health Nursing Innovation Festival 2025 at the Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI) — a gathering dedicated to one central question: how can innovation empower nurses and transform the way care is delivered?

The festival brought together nurses, healthcare leaders and industry partners to explore new ideas, share projects from the ground, and reimagine how technology and care can work hand in hand.

Innovation with nurses at the centre

Nurses are often the first point of contact for patients and families, and the ones who hold the care journey together — from hospital to home, and into the community. As healthcare grows more complex, nurses are also increasingly at the forefront of innovation and improvement.

At the NHG Health Nursing Innovation Festival, the focus was on:

• Showcasing nurse‑led and nursing‑driven innovation
• Exploring how passion and innovation can lighten workloads and enhance patient care
• Creating space for nurses to share what they need from technology, rather than simply adapting to it

For BUZUD, it was a meaningful opportunity to listen, learn and contribute as a committed partner in medtech.

Sharing our story: BUZUD, our beliefs, and innovation in action

During the festival, Ms Brilynne, Brand Director at BUZUD, delivered a presentation that centred on who BUZUD is, what we believe in, and how those beliefs shape our innovation.

She spoke about BUZUD’s conviction that:

• Healthcare technology should be accessible, preventive and empowering
• Innovation must be grounded in real clinical needs and real patient journeys
• Nurses and frontline professionals are essential partners in designing and refining solutions

To bring these beliefs to life, she highlighted one of our key developments: an insulin closed‑loop system concept that BUZUD has been working on.

The insulin closed‑loop system: towards smarter, safer diabetes management

In her talk, Ms Brilynne shared how this insulin closed‑loop system is designed to support both patients and care teams:

• By integrating continuous data on glucose levels with intelligent dosing recommendations
• By aiming to reduce the day‑to‑day mental load of managing insulin, especially for people living with diabetes who must constantly think about food, activity and medication
• By giving nurses and clinicians clearer oversight of patterns and control, helping them fine‑tune care plans over time

While still under refinement, the system represents the kind of innovation BUZUD strives for: technology that is smart yet human‑centred, and that works with care teams rather than replacing them.

For nurses, such a system has the potential to:

• Support safer, more consistent management for patients who struggle with control
• Free up time currently spent on manual checks and calculations
• Provide richer information for patient education and counselling

Bringing innovation to life: on‑site health checks

Beyond the presentation, Team BUZUD also conducted on‑site health checks at the festival, giving participants a chance to experience our devices in action.

Using BUZUD’s range of monitoring tools, attendees could have quick, simple checks done on the spot, while nurses and colleagues observed how:

• Readings are captured swiftly and accurately
• Data can be organised and interpreted in ways that support decision‑making
• These tools might be used in real settings — wards, clinics or community programmes

These health checks turned abstract ideas into tangible experiences. They sparked conversations about how such devices and systems could fit into daily nursing practice, from routine observations to longer‑term monitoring of patients in different care settings.

Learning from frontline experience

For Team BUZUD, being at the NHG Health Nursing Innovation Festival was as much about learning as it was about sharing.

In conversations with nurses and nursing leaders, we heard first-hand about:

• The pressure of balancing heavy caseloads with documentation and coordination
• The challenge of maintaining personalised, compassionate care in busy environments
• The practical realities of introducing new tools on the ground — what works, what doesn’t, and why

These honest insights are invaluable. They help us refine our solutions so they are:

• Easier to integrate into existing workflows and systems
• More aligned with the way nurses actually communicate and collaborate
• Truly supportive of nurses’ core mission: keeping patients safe, heard and well cared for

Building the future of care, together

The NHG Health Nursing Innovation Festival 2025 at CHI highlighted a powerful truth:
nurses are not just users of innovation — they are co‑creators and leaders of it.

BUZUD is proud to stand alongside the nursing community in this journey. We remain committed to:

• Co‑developing solutions with nurses, not just for nurses
• Using AI and digital health in ways that are practical, ethical and human‑centred
• Continuing to advance innovations such as our insulin closed‑loop system, always guided by the needs of patients and frontline teams

As we look ahead, we are excited to deepen our collaborations with nurses and healthcare institutions, and to continue building innovations that uplift both those who receive care and those who give it.
