A unique opportunity for innovators and key stakeholders within Coventry and Warwickshire mental health settings including medium to low secure facilities and community settings, with the potential for tangible and impactful outcomes for patients and staff.
West Midlands Health and Wellbeing Innovation Network are running a challenge led innovation programme with Coventry and Warwickshire ICB which aims to solve key challenges within medium to low secure mental healthcare settings, both in secure facilities and within the community.
The challenges facing Coventry and Warwickshire ICB’s mental health services will be representative of the issues facing every ICB in England. Therefore, this is a fantastic opportunity for innovators to solve this challenge with potential to scale to market.
The challenge areas this programme will focus on are:
- How might we use digital tools to empower patients in managing their condition and improving independence in their daily life.
- How might we use outcome measures and data analysis to inform clinical effectiveness of patient interventions.
The programme is ideally looking for innovators with solutions in the following areas:
- Virtual reality (simulating day to day activities, learning)
- Patient and condition management.
- Activity management and personal progress tracking
- Edtech
- Gamification of activities
- Patient reporting and data management
- Integrated care systems
- Analytics and data visualisation
This is a unique opportunity for value exchange between innovators and key clinical and management stakeholders within Coventry and Warwickshire mental health settings including medium to low secure facilities and community settings, with the potential for tangible and impactful outcomes for patients and staff. This programme is also underpinned by Warwick University’s academic excellence, innovation methodology and rich network of collaborators and partners.
Successful applicants may also be eligible for up to £20,000 grant funding through the WMHTIA, a collaborative network of expertise across industry, NHS and universities that will help pioneering businesses navigate the key stages of medical translation, funded through Innovate UK.
