Digital Health Accelerator South West 2018/19

The South West is home to a vibrant digital health business and innovation community that is leading the way in developing integrated and cost-effective health and social care solutions.

At a time of significant challenge to the NHS, the entrepreneurial passion and technical expertise that this community can bring is needed more than ever.

Our ambition at the South West Academic Health Science Network (SW AHSN) is to grow and connect a regional eco-system of support that can accelerate the adoption and spread of this innovation at a pace never seen before in our region. A key approach in our strategy will be supporting the front line to find the time and headspace, and to develop the skills to take advantage of the innovation coming through our Innovation Exchange programme.

We welcome this year’s 2018/19 cohort into the Digital Health Accelerator (DHA) South West and look forward to working with our partners to put digital at the heart of our health and social care system.

Welcome

William Lilley Partnership Director, South West AHSN

The South West is home to a vibrant digital health business and innovation community that is leading the way in developing integrated and cost-effective health and social care solutions.”

3 Digital Health Accelerator South West 2018/19

Across five digital health acceleratorsThe AHSNs across England work with digital health technology companies and innovators through Innovation Exchanges.

The Academic Health Science Networks accelerate the spread of innovation – getting technologies to patients faster, improving clinical outcomes, driving down the cost of care and generating wealth for our economy. A major government initiative will further underpin this role with all AHSNs coordinating Innovation Exchanges. AHSNs around the country will be leveraging their relationships with research, industry, social care, the voluntary sector and the NHS to enable patients to gain quicker, easier access to innovations that will improve their lives.

The digital health accelerators have NHS principles at their core, using these as the filter to select high potential companies to work in collaboration with NHS organisations. They make it easier, simpler, and faster to deliver digitally enabled care; working with innovators that have invested in digital technologies and have big aspirations to help the existing healthcare system face up to its challenges.”

Mike Hannay Managing Director of East Midlands AHSN and Chair of the AHSN Network

Through the digital health accelerators, based on a model pioneered by DigitalHealth.London, we are supporting a total of 34 companies in 2018/19 with intensive support over 12 months. We are part of a family of five accelerators, operating out of the following AHSNs:

• South West

• Kent Surrey Sussex

• DigitalHealth.London Accelerator (a partnership between three London AHSNs: Health Innovation Network, Imperial College Health Partners and UCLPartners)

• East Midlands

• Health Innovation Manchester

Following a competitive application process, DHA South West selected five companies with digital innovations that match health and social care system needs.

The accelerator will run for 12 months and the following support will be provided to its companies:

• One-to-one support from a designated small team of NHS and social care navigators

• Specialist training and workshops

• Support with product and service development

• Opportunities to meet experts from business, clinical, managerial, and government backgrounds

About the South West AHSN’s Innovation Exchange

To do this, AHSNs have been commissioned by the Office for Life Sciences to deliver ‘Innovation Exchanges’.

The South West Innovation Exchange is bringing together patients and the public, innovators, commissioners and providers to create an environment for innovation and improvement to flourish. This is building on our existing support, which we have been delivering in the region for the last five years, and tapping into national and international contributors who are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the impact of new innovations on access to and provision of health and social care.

Our Innovation Exchange is made up of four elements and offers the following benefits to its region:

• Identifying and communicating the needs of the South West health and social care system to innovators

• Sharing knowledge in the region about products that are promising

• Building partnerships and supporting the validation of products in the NHS

• Working as a network of 15 AHSNs and partners to enable proven innovations to spread more quickly.

AHSNs are building on their unique links between industry and the NHS to help innovators navigate the NHS.
