Region North Jutland expects to publish a tender for a new public IT solution for telemedicine wound assessment in early October 2025. The solution is being procured on behalf of municipalities and regions in Denmark and is nationwide. The contract will be signed with Region North Jutland as the Common Public System Administrator (FOSA). The role of FOSA is expected to later transition to the upcoming self-governing institution Digital Health Denmark.
The solution must support the assessment and treatment of wounds, particularly in community wound care, through a number of IT-supported workflows. The new telemedicine wound assessment solution must integrate with/use the telemedicine infrastructure 'Common Dissemination of Telemedicine Infrastructure' (FUT). The solution must therefore operate within the operational environments of FUT (FUT-Infrastructure). The client wishes to offer health professionals a solution that can be used on mobile devices, among other things, to take pictures and evaluate them, as well as via a web browser where proper administration, communication, and overview of the citizen's course are maintained.
For citizens, a similar solution is expected that can be used on the citizen's own mobile device, also to take pictures and send messages to health professionals. The citizen should also have the opportunity to view their own course, either from a mobile device or via a web solution. Along with the solution, Region North Jutland wishes to have delivered a migration tool that can import data from an existing solution in connection with the implementation of the new solution. Region North Jutland also seeks assistance during the implementation. The supplier must provide ongoing application maintenance, support, and application operation of the solution after it has been put into operation.
