Event Details

The Health Innovation: Digital group at Lancaster University is pleased to organise this Digital Health Exchange event with the aim of promoting the development of innovation collaborations between Lancaster University academics, local NHS/health organisations, and businesses.

A Lancaster University Health Innovation: Digital event in conjunction with and following the Innovation Agency's and ECH Alliance's 17th Digital Ecosystem event - ECO 17: Transforming care through Digital Health.

Through an MRC Proximity to Discovery (P2D) grant, the Health Innovation: Digital group at Lancaster University is pleased to organise this Digital Health Exchange event. We aim to promote the development of innovation collaborations between Lancaster University academics, local NHS/health organisations, and businesses.

During the event, Lancaster academics will present their ongoing digital health research projects and interests, followed by presentations from businesses of their prototypes/ideas, followed by healthcare professionals pitching their pressing healthcare/care delivery problems. The objective is to forge collaborative academic/clinical/business partnerships aimed at developing solutions. Following this presentation exchange, a demo/poster session will be available to showcase and exhibit some of the work described during the exchange.

The partnerships formed between academia/healthcare/business during the event will be given the opportunity to apply for a modest P2D grant after the event. More details on the process and timings will be shared at this event. Successful partnerships will receive a P2D grant (to be held by the Lancaster University academic) to bootstrap collaborative work with the health organisation/business. Presenting is not a pre-requisite of applying for the P2D grant but is encouraged. The event provides a rare opportunity to meet and attract a wide range of possible partners.

Registration essential.
