Why we exist and what our goals and focus will be for the Health Innovation Lab.

Our mission

To build an ecosystem of healthcare partners, industry partners and healthcare start-ups to develop, integrate and commercialise digital solutions that drive the digital transformation of healthcare within Gloucestershire.

Our focus

Front door

How do we innovate across multiple agencies to ensure only the patients requiring urgent care present at A&E?

Back door

How can we use digital healthcare interventions and innovations to eliminate any additional bed stays once the acute care episode has completed?

Health Inequalities

How can we improve access to healthcare for our most vulnerable residents in the community?

Workforce

How can we use digital healthcare innovations to ensure staff feel safe coming to work, can report incidents of discrimination and trust that action will be taken?

Bariatric care

What do we need to develop to reduce the failure rate of bariatric surgery patients once their initial 2 years follow-up period ends?
