The contract is located in Cardiff, UK, with the service area being specifically the Hywel Dda University Health Board. The process, at the Award stage, intends to expand a successful pilot programme to include a larger evaluation group of around 200 patients, building on prior positive outcomes. This initiative is categorised under the 'Health' industry and concluded with the award on 18 October 2024 under a limited procurement method due to a lack of alternative providers. The contract is valued at £28,720 GBP. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in telehealth services, particularly in respiratory health. Companies with innovative technology solutions for long-term health condition management, especially those focusing on monitoring and data analysis, would find this contract particularly advantageous. The expansion of the telehealth monitoring pilot signifies an ongoing governmental investment in healthcare innovation, indicating future opportunities for businesses in this sector to establish or strengthen partnerships with public health organisations. ## Notice Hywel Dda University Health Board intends to award a contract to NuvoAir AB to extend the successful pilot of Telehealth Monitoring in COPD and Difficult Asthma for one (1) year to establish a larger evaluation of circa 200 patients to demonstrate impact on health care untilisation. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Wales has higher rates of lung disease than other UK countries. The pandemic has had a particularly severe effect on the respiratory diagnostic (spirometry) services within Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) and ability to monitor vulnerable patients with chronic lung diseases in Primary and Secondary Care and community nurses. From April 2022 to January 2024, Respiratory Innovation Wales (RIW) collaborated with NuvoAir Ltd and HDUHB to implement and assess a home telemonitoring (HTM) service for patients with severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) who were already receiving optimal treatment. Key aims of the service are to improve health, wellbeing and enable users to monitor their condition in their own home alongside reducing A&E attendances and hospital stays. A total of fifty-five (55) patients were onboarded onto HTM with positive feedback received including: Spirometry easier to do at home than in a secondary care location Feeling more in control of health with home monitoring Increased motivation to exercise and stay fit HDUHB intend to continue with this service for a final one (1) year period as Respiratory Innovation Wales (RIW) have provided a key finding report for the trial to date which acknowledges that whilst there appears to be some impact on reducing A&E attendances & possible CDM home visits, this could have occurred through chance. Therefore, it is recommended that a larger evaluation of circa 200 patients is followed for at least one year to demonstrate impact on health care utilisation. ### Procurement Information There are no other know providers of this service.
