Editor's Notes
- Sound check – Thank you for attending the DHTC r3 briefing some of you will be pleased to here we have added in a feasibility stream this is a separate competition so pleased ensure you select the correct competition when you apply Just to let you know this briefing is being recorded and we will be sending out a copy of the recording and slides after the briefing for you to refer to.
- The Digital Health Technology Catalyst has been designed to support SMEs in developing innovative health solutions underpinned by digital technology. The aim of this programme is to speed up the development of new digital solutions to healthcare challenges and grow the industry. As you know only too well, digital health is evolving at such a rapid pace this is having a profound impact on healthcare delivery. The DHTC is designed to further support the growth in new digital health solutions that have the potential to: improve patient outcomes; improve access to healthcare; make more targeted and personalised health interventions; transform service delivery; and to deliver new treatments We are open to both clinical or non-clinical proposals, but proposals will need to clearly demonstrate how they will address the needs of the healthcare system.
- So for feasibility the grant enables the exploration and evaluation of the commercial and technical potential of an early-stage digital health concept. For example through Assessment of the business opportunity Validation of the initial concept Scoping for further development
- So on the other side here are some examples of projects that we wouldn’t fund and which may either be excluded or would be marked down by the assessors.
- Just to re-iterate, industrial research and experimental projects must be collaborative and we highly encourage collaboration with an NHS organisation.
- These are the key dates to bear in mind for this competition. It’s important to note that the submission deadline is at noon on the dot. IFS will automatically close and so at 12:01 applications can’t be submitted.
