Digital Health Innovation Programme 2025 - Needs-led innovation training for the health technology sectors

**HIGHLY FUNDED FOR INDUSTRY**

We are now accepting expressions of interest for the 2025 Digital Health Innovation Programme.

The highly immersive, hands on programme is uniquely focussed on digital health and aims to embed the mindset and methodology of needs-led innovation with a view to increasing innovation capability and new product development in the health technology sectors.

The programme applies a “learn by doing” approach using proven biodesign, lean start-up, and design thinking methodologies. Company teams will learn and apply the process of:

- investigating and identifying unmet customer and commercial needs,

- prioritising those needs and identifying potential solutions,

- assessing their commercial potential, and

- developing compelling business cases for stakeholder and funding approval.

The programme comprises 8 workshops over a 5-month period in parallel with mentoring, industry networking, customer and stakeholder engagement and team project work. Throughout, participants from the same company will work in multidisciplinary teams (ideally 2-5 people) on company projects/strategic areas to progress an unmet need. A key programme output will be a business case and pitch for presentation to company management

The programme is aimed at employees and intrapreneurs from the medtech, pharma/biopharma, digital health and other allied sectors interested in digital health - whether that's adding connectivity to existing product portfolios or exploring new digital health solutions.
