We’re solving health and social care challenges by building an innovation ecosystem
The WMHWIN, based at the University of Warwick, identifies high priority health and social care challenges, discovers innovative solutions and delivers collaborative innovation programmes to find problem solution fit.
Why We Do What We Do
Health and social care challenges need to be solved efficiently and effectively. Innovators have solutions to these challenges and need validation of their products and services. This value exchange is the foundation of an innovation ecosystem. We believe this enables the market and the health and social care system to collaborate to improve patient and staff experience.
