The funding opportunity is based on local need, which the Government notes could cover technology to support wait lists, virtual wards, wearable devices to monitor chronic conditions remotely, support diagnosis, the expansion of 3D checks for cancer tests or logistics solutions such as the use of drones.
ICSs are invited to submit bids for the funding that is being made available, to DHSC and NHSE to access the funds, with applications expected to open this month.
