Nod y gronfa fydd treialu’n gyflym brosiectau yn y sectorau iechyd a gofal i hwyluso diagnosis o bell, casglu data a monitro argaeledd cyfarpar amddiffyn personol (PPE).  

  

Rydym yn gobeithio y bydd prosiectau sy’n gwneud cais i Gronfa Atebion Digidol COVID\-19 yn newid y ffordd y mae pobl yn cael eu diagnosio, eu trin a’u rheoli.  

  

Bydd y gronfa yn cefnogi treialu a gwerthuso’n gyflym blatfformau digidol newydd, apiau a thechnolegau i benderfynu ar eu defnydd hirdymor a’u posibiliadau o fewn y gwasanaeth iechyd.   

  

Meddai’r Gweinidog Iechyd Vaughan Gething:



> “Mae’r pandemig COVID\-19 wedi tynnu sylw at yr angen brys am dechnolegau digidol newydd i helpu inni gynnwys ac ymateb i’r feirws.  
> 
>   
> 
> “Gallai’r galw i weithredu wneud gwahaniaeth enfawr nid yn unig i’n hymateb ar unwaith i’r pandemig, ond i’n gwasanaethau iechyd o ddydd i ddydd.  
> 
>   
> 
> “Mae’n bwysig ein bod yn croesawu technolegau digidol a defnyddio rhai o’i bosibiliadau i wella gofal arferol.  
> 
>   
> 
> “Rydym eisoes wedi derbyn dros 180 o gynigion am syniadau, cynnyrch a gwasanaethau newydd gan ddiwydiant, yn cynnig amser staff, aps a gwasanaethau newydd yn ystod y pandemig COVID\-19\.  
> 
> 
> Bydd yr alwad hon i weithredu yn helpu inni werthuso yr opsiynau gorau a’u gwerth hirdymor.”


Bydd y gronfa gystadleuol hon yn neilltuo hyd at £30k i’r pump i wyth o brosiectau gorau sy’n bodloni’r amodau.  

  

Bydd y prosiectau yn cael eu dewis gan banel, gan gynnwys cynrychiolwyr y GIG, Llywodraeth Cymru a diwydiant.   

  

Y bwriad yw cynnal y treialon yn gyflym trwy fisoedd Gorffennaf ac Awst gyda’r bwriad i’r dechnoleg newydd gael ei gyflwyno ar ddechrau mis Medi.  

  

Mae’r themâu canlynol wedi’u dewis fel y rhai allai gynnig yr her fwyaf a chael yr effaith fwyaf:


* Cynnig diagnosis o bell a brysbennu cleifion (triage)
* Gwella’r modd y caiff data eu casglu a’u prosesu
* Tracio, rheoli ac adrodd ar y defnydd o PPE a monitro a oes digon ar gael
* Cefnogi a thrin pobl o bell


Dywedodd Helen Northmore, o’r Hyb Gwyddorau Bywyd Cymru, a fydd yn trefnu’r ymatebion i’r galwad i weithredu:



> “Gall technoleg ein helpu i weddnewid y ffordd y mae y GIG yng Nghymru yn darparu gwasanaethau gofal iechyd.  
> 
>   
> 
> “Mae’r gronfa her hon yn gyfle perffaith i brofi a datblygu technolegau syn cael yr effaith fwyaf a chynnig yr atebion â’r gwerth gorau dros gyfnod y coronafeirws a thu hwnt.   
> 
>   
> 
> “Rydym yn falch iawn o gael cefnogi’r gystadleuaeth hon – bydd yr arian hwn yn ein galluogi i werthuso prosiectau digidol arloesol posibl yn gyflym i’w rhoi ar waith yn y maes iechyd a gofal yng Nghymru.”

The challenge fund aims to quickly trial solutions in health and care to improve remote diagnostics, data collection and monitor PPE availability.  

  

It is hoped projects applying to the COVID\-19 Digital Solutions Fund will change the way people are diagnosed, treated and managed by the health service.  

  

The fund will support the rapid piloting and evaluation of new digital platforms, apps and technologies to determine their long\-term use and potential in the health service.  

  

Health Minister Vaughan Gething said:



> “The COVID\-19 pandemic has highlighted an urgent need for new digital technology to help us contain and respond to the virus.  
> 
>   
> 
> “This call to action could make a massive difference not only in our immediate response to the pandemic, but in our day\-to\-day health services.  
> 
>   
> 
> “It is important we embrace digital technologies and use some of its potential to improve routine care.  
> 
>   
> 
> “We have already received more than 180 offers of new ideas, products and services from industry, offering staff time, new apps and services during the COVID\-19 pandemic. This call to action will help us evaluate the best options and their long\-term value.”


The budget for the competitive call to action will award up to £30k to the best five to eight projects, which meet the criteria.


These will be identified by a panel, including NHS, Welsh Government and industry representatives.  

  

The rapid pilots will run throughout July and August with a potential for the new technology to be roll out from early September.  

  

The following themes have been identified as offering the greatest challenge and potential impact:


* Remote diagnosis and triage of patients
* Optimising data collection and processing
* Tracking, managing and reporting on PPE availability and usage
* Remote citizen support and treatment


Helen Northmore, from the Life Sciences Hub Wales, which will be co\-ordinating the responses to the call to action, said:



> “Technology can help transform the way the NHS in Wales delivers healthcare services.  
> 
>   
> 
> “This challenge fund is a perfect opportunity to test and develop technologies which offer the largest impact and best value solutions during coronavirus and beyond.  
> 
>   
> 
> “We are delighted to support this competition – this fund will enable rapid evaluation of potential digital innovations for health and care delivery in Wales.”
