Digital Innovation Healthcare Solutions

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is seeking to engage industry expertise to explore innovative digital solutions to the real healthcare challenges of today and the future. It is seeking to better understand the opportunities and associated patient and operational benefits to be realised through the implementation of digital solutions and technologies within a healthcare environment to meet the challenges faced by the Trust today and in supporting the establishment of new ways of working for the Trust’s new hospitals that are fully government supported and which are planned to be brought into operation by 2030. Led through its Innovation Pop-Up, the Trust would like to engage the market across seven thematic areas where it has initially identified opportunities to be obtained from the development and implementation of digital solutions and technologies. The seven thematic areas where the Trust is initially seeking to engage with the market include:
1. Clinical communications
2. Virtual care solutions
3. Operation solutions (e.g. RTLS, bed management)
4. SMART building solutions
5. Inpatient central monitoring solutions
6. Patient flow solutions (e.g. Wayfinding, mobile check in)
7. Network infrastructure (e.g. Passive Optical Networks, Private 5G)

The market engagement process offers the opportunity for suppliers and entrepreneurs to explore membership to the Trust’s Innovation Pop-up to further support and grow links between industry, clinical experts and researchers and support the future planning and design of cutting-edge healthcare facilities at one of the largest and busiest acute hospital Trusts in Europe. It is an exceptional opportunity to engage with the Trust in its digital and technological planning of two new hospitals and to be part of a major hub for Healthtech innovation, benefitting healthcare systems across the world.
