## Description

Telehealth \(often referred to as remote patient monitoring\) - refers to the use of various point-of-care technologies to monitor a patient's physiological status and health conditions remotely from home or while on the move\. Readings and symptoms are transmitted to a central system where they are monitored against limits set by the individuals' clinician\. Evidence that vital signs are outside of 'normal' triggers an alert, allowing a clinician to intervene promptly, usually without the patient needing to attend a clinic\. In this tender, the Contracting Authority are seeking to procure a Telehealth Technology Service Provider to deliver a flexible and innovative service to support the clinical provider\. The contract will be for an initial term of 3 years, with an option to extend for a further 2 years\.
