Health Innovation East Midlands and Health Innovation West Midlands have launched Grow Digital Health Midlands, a programme to support businesses in developing and scaling digital health solutions within the NHS.
Launched on 27 February 2025, the initiative expands on the former East Midlands Digital Health Accelerator, now covering 11 integrated care systems and a population of 11.8 million. To accelerate adoption, participants will receive business coaching, product development support, and direct access to NHS decision-makers.
The programme aligns with national healthcare priorities, with NHS and care system leaders selecting innovations that address regional challenges. The 2025 focus areas include improving NHS productivity and communication and reducing demand for hospital-based care.
Applications close on 24 March 2025, and potential applicants will be briefed on 4 March and 13 March 2025.
