TF3 Consortium to provide large-scale telemonitoring service in Northern Ireland

Health Minister Edwin Poots has launched a remote telemonitoring healthcare system in Northern Ireland, which will benefit up to 20,000 patients over the next 6 years. The telemonitoring service, which will be provided by the TF3 Consortium, will help to reduce the pressure on frontline services by enabling people to be cared for in the community – a key aspect of the Government’s ambition for health services in Northern Ireland.

Mr Poots said: “Connect Health is quite a simple concept – by using companies with innovative technologies and products, we enable more patients to manage their conditions at home which means fewer visits to hospital and provides opportunities for local companies to reap the rewards.”

Simon Arnold, Director of TF3 says: “The managed services that the TF3 Consortium provides are key to minimising unplanned hospital admissions, accelerating discharge and enabling clinicians to improve patient care through remote monitoring.”
