Avia (AIM: AVIA), the AIM-listed developer and provider of clinical decision support systems, is pleased to announce the signing of a reseller contract between its wholly owned subsidiary, Plain Healthcare Limited ("Plain"), and the Advanced Health and Care division ("AHC") of Advanced Computer Software plc ("ACS"), for the sale of its Odyssey CareAssess product in the UK care home market.
Odyssey CareAssess has been designed specifically to meet the needs of nursing and residential care homes and draws on the Company's years of experience within the healthcare industry. It enables both clinical and non-clinically trained staff to offer care home residents high levels of care and support in the event of illness or injury. Avia will sell Odyssey CareAssess globally to the care home market through Avia's expanding international reseller network.

AHC is a supplier of health and care software solutions and already has an existing customer base in the UK care home sector. Their contacts and experience within the care home sector is expected to help promote the adoption of Odyssey CareAssess in this environment. The contract gives AHC, and the companies within the division, exclusive reseller rights for Odyssey CareAssess in the 20,000 plus UK care home market for an initial period of one year.
Barry Giddings, Executive Chairman of Avia, commented:
"The Avia subsidiary Plain has worked with Adastra, which is a part of ACS, for many years now and we are very pleased with this new agreement for their AHC division to sell our new Odyssey CareAssess product in the UK care home market. We believe their knowledge and experience of the sector will prove invaluable and facilitate generation of UK sales for Odyssey CareAssess."
