Calderdale CCG - Assistive Technology

As part of our Care Closer to Home (CC2H) Programme, NHS Calderdale CCG has deployed a range of telecare and telehealth units in the community and care homes over the past 3 years.

It is our vision to enhance our approach and direction in technology by putting people at the heart of what we do and integrating care pathways in social care, education and other parts of service delivery.

This opportunity is for the supply of different elements.

1.

The supply and installation of Telecare equipment into all care homes in Calderdale 2.

The supply and installation of digital health solutions using applicable devices or technology to monitor/test vital signs for people residing in care homes in Calderdale 3.

Call Centre/Monitoring Centre facilities for care homes out of hours - from 6.30 p.m. to 9.00 a.m.

7 days a week, 365 days a year 4.

The supply and installation of digital health solutions for people with long term conditions to help monitor their vital signs remotely from home (in the community) and using applicable devices or technology (such as base units, mobile apps, online devices etc.) 5.

Digital apps available to people of all ages with a long term condition or mental health problems, for example we are looking for apps that will help individuals with diabetes, heart failure, chronic pain, autism spectrum conditions, mental health problems etc to allow people to monitor their vital signs remotely from home and work using appropriate devices or technology (such as base units, mobile apps, online devices etc.) This service will support and enable people to take increased responsibility for monitoring their own conditions through technology.

It will help people to further manage and understand their own condition, promote independence and help them lead active lives in their own home/care home, thus reducing dependency on hospital and avoid the need for more costly interventions.

To be most effective, such technologies need to be embedded into provision, and form part of a mainstream service delivery, supporting an array of pathways.
