Accelerator programmes in the spotlight
Last month we noted DigitalHealth.London’s announcement that applications are open for the latest cohort of its Launchpad Programme, designed to offer support to early-stage innovators looking to launch digital health products and services.
At the start of the year, HTN highlighted the successful applicants for the 2024 Advanced Wellbeing Accelerator programme from Sheffield Hallam University’s Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre.

In other news from the capital, HTN looked into the latest monthly summary from North West London ICS identifying involvement with local residents and communities, including data on digital reach and health survey responses.
We reported on North East London NHS Foundation Trust’s pre-procurement notice aiming to identify market capabilities and supplier interest for ADHD technologies.
And we examined the 2024-2027 strategy from The North West London Acute Provider Collaborative, made up of trusts including Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Imperial College Healthcare, London North West University, and The Hillingdon Hospitals, which outlines shared priorities and plans to “address complex, system-wide issues more effectively in the years ahead”.
