Harrogate-based Cloud services provider,
InTechnology has today announced the acquisition of one of the UK’s leading
telehealth companies, United Telehealth (UTH), as part of its strategic plans
for continuing growth.
At the
same time, it has taken a substantial stake in Healthsolve, a leader in the
development of healthcare software.
The
investments build on InTechnology’s existing expertise as one of the country’s
few network providers to have accredited access to N3, the NHS network linking
hospitals, medical centres and GPs.
Bryn
Sage, chief operating officer at InTechnology said:
The
government has put out a challenge to technology leaders to help deliver an
affordable and effective telehealth proposition. Our investments will enable us
to add a patient-led managed telehealth service to our existing suite of
managed data and telephony services, while providing budget holders in the
clinical community with a viable, cost-effective and independent solution.
The
acquisition of UTH includes the recruitment of the company’s key scientific,
technical and clinical staff while the investment in Healthsolve will allow
specific healthcare applications to be developed to provide an end-to-end
service from patient to medical expert.
Alan
Payne, CEO of Healthsolve said:
We are
delighted to be engaged in this innovative managed service from InTechnology.
Our expertise in the healthcare sector will complement InTechnology’s own
longstanding experience and enables us to add real value by delivering the
patient record system that underpins this service.
UTH-initiated
pilot projects are already being conducted across the UK and InTechnology
expects to launch its new telehealth service in the very near future.
