ICT Solution: “Home monitoring COVID-19”
Central Procurement and Supplies Unit Structur (CPSU) needed an innovative solution to reduce patients coming to the hospital and to ensure follow-up from their home. This would solve the problem of follow-up appointments which take long and lack of concordance.
The current pilot ran well and showed high compliance by the patients. The pilot project was expanded to cover all type 1 diabetics up to the age of 21. During the pilot two candidates were shortlisted for the restricted tender. The tender for a restricted procedure will be launched in 2024.
