Title: Sources Sought notice for computer tablets loaded with BL Healthcare software to support the Department of Veterans Affairs enterprise-wide Home Telehealth (HT) Program. The DALC is seeking Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and/or Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) sources to supply computer tablets loaded with BL Healthcare software for Veterans to electronically submit health condition results to their healthcare providers. Requirements Summary: The Home TeleHealth tablets act as a data access and communication platform that links Veteran patients receiving HT-based care with VA clinicians. These tablets and associated systems support and enable bi-directional transfer of prescribed data, as outlined below, from Veteran patients to VA and vice versa. VA accesses chronic disease management and patient monitoring data that is secure and encrypted from the tablets that are being used by the Veterans. Currently, all Veterans enrolled in the VA Home TeleHealth program that use computer tablets have healthcare access tablets loaded with BL Healthcare proprietary software. The BL Healthcare software functions to integrate a wide variety of wired and wireless medical devices to connect to the required tablet and collect patient health information such as vital signs etc. To ensure continuity within the VA TeleHealth program and to maintain HT program standards and data transmission standards no other software will be considered.
