Emergency Department Wearable Technology Development and Implementation

Through this Request the EMHS is seeking to establish an Emergency Department Remote Monitoring Service (ED RMS). The ED RMS will initially remotely monitor patients awaiting clinical assessment located in RPH and AHS EDs. The service will utilise an integrated wearable medical device solution to identify changes in patients' condition and early signs of patient deterioration. This will enable proactive interventions to be delivered to the patient with the aim of reducing the likelihood of a critical event occurring.

The ED RMS will be required to be hosted either through a Software as a Service or a Platform as a Service arrangement. The inclusion of the hosting will be at the absolute discretion of the Customer.

The ED RMS has potential for future expansion to other areas within RPH and AHS, other hospitals and to the patient's home. Expansion will be through either a contract variation, or separate contracts and subject to funding availability.
