Technical requirements include:

• Artificial intelligence for data insight
• Cloud-based or cloud-ready platform
• Security and compliance
• Integration with existing systems, including Epic
• Bluetooth low energy tags and wearables

According to request for proposals No. 20241273708, the contract is for three years with two potential renewals. Proposals are due at 2 p.m. Dec. 23.

The contact is Lizzie Harris Johnson. More information on JPS business practices is at the vendor portal.
