The DigitalHealth.London Accelerator aims to speed up the adoption of technology in London’s NHS, relieving high pressure on services and empowering patients to manage their health.
It works with 20-30 high potential start-ups and SMEs each year, at any stage of the innovation cycle, and supports them to develop and deploy solutions to some of the most pressing challenges facing the NHS.
The programme is uniquely positioned to provide in-depth knowledge of the NHS and wider UK health and care sector to high potential companies in London to help them refine, develop and scale their innovations. It focuses on engagement with clinicians and healthcare experts, working collaboratively to get to the root of health and care challenges and find solutions.
Support focuses on areas specific to individual companies’ needs, with a focus on engagement with different elements of the health and care system. Support may include:
· Engagement with clinicians and healthcare experts
· Refining products to meet NHS need
· Deepening understanding of the health system
· Showcasing innovations in health facilities
· Developing business models to progress product development
· Market access and navigation
The Accelerator is part-NHS supported – through the three London AHSNs (the innovation arm of the NHS), plus MedCity and CW+. It is receiving funding from the European Regional Development Fund.
