Advancing new technologies

 The £9 million of new funding will soon be made available through the government’s Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund to help the UK improve outcomes for patients and provide cost benefits for healthcare providers.

Bidders are expected to show how their inspiring innovations can accelerate the development of digital health innovations and grow the sector.

On the government website it states:

“We are looking for projects that span a variety of technologies, markets, and healthcare needs and improve on the current health and care system.”

Technologies that will be the focus of this funding include:

  • virtual and augmented reality
  • artificial intelligence and machine learning
  • the Internet of Things
  • data analytics and security

 

Taking digital health forward

An example of the type of business that could benefit from the new funding is FundamentalVR. The company provides leading-edge healthcare technology and is currently developing a VR surgical training platform for students to practise and gain confidence before operating on people.
