Supply of Portable Six-Lead ECG Recorder Devices to Community and Long-Term Condition Teams in Mid and South Essex

About

Attain awarded a contract to Alivecor Limited for the provision of portable six-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recorder devices (KardiaMobile 6L) to community and long-term condition teams in mid and south Essex.

The contract, valued at £186,300 (inclusive of VAT), commenced on 30 March 2021 and runs until 29 March 2022, with an option to extend for 12 months until 29 March 2023.

The award follows a pilot during 2020 in heart failure, DCST, Older Adults, SPOR teams, and the stroke hub across mid and south Essex, which demonstrated that within 30 seconds the clinician obtains a six-lead PDF that can be uploaded into SystmOne, saving clinical time and being less invasive and distressing than the previously used 12-lead ECG.

The pilot realised significant benefits in quality of care and clinical time saved, leading the CCG to upscale this provision for community teams.
