iPLATO Healthcare has been awarded a framework agreement for Assistive Technologies which includes Telecare, Telehealth and Telecoaching products and services. This is good news for NHS organisations and Local Authorities across the country that will now be able to purchase products and services from an online catalogue under pre-agreed terms and conditions, managed by Buying Solutions.
Already working with over 700 healthcare providers in more than 50 Primary Care Trusts and Health Boards, iPLATO's mHealth solutions have proven to transform patient services and reduce health inequalities across populations. The company's evidence based offerings include wellness, diagnosis, behavioural change and long term condition management solutions. This listing means that a specialised mHealth offering is represented in procurement lists at national level for the first time.
"We are delighted that we have been awarded a place on the national framework agreement" says Tobias Alpsten, Managing Director at iPLATO. "mHealth is a sub-set of Assistive Technologies that runs across telehealthcare and telecoaching. As a result, our offering complements rather than competes with traditional Assistive Technology propositions. We are looking forward to working with other suppliers on the framework agreement to put together holistic, community-wide, remote care solutions. Fundamentally, we think patients and tax payers are the real winners here because this award will help our NHS and Local Authority partners launch patient centric mHealth services faster by avoiding lengthy procurement processes. In times like these, it is refreshing to know that iPLATO’s solutions deliver immediate bottom-line improvements as well as health and care outcomes. We deliver service transformation - not simply technology. Our approach includes business process redesign, technology development and change management."
