We are looking for solutions that will provide a positive outcome, high-impact for the population of Wales. In particular, demand for ambulance/Urgent and Emergency Care services is high for:
- People that have fallen - patients that have been on the floor for a significant amount of time (long lies);
- People experiencing respiratory problems – especially acute exacerbations of chronic conditions;
- People experiencing chest pain – where the nature of the pain cannot currently be confirmed in the pre-hospital setting.
There are many diagnostic solutions on the market. This challenge aims to bring solutions together to develop an ambulance sector solution for use in the pre-hospital environment.
