Health is one of the biggest and fastest-growing growing sectors in the world. But while the potential exists across the Liverpool City Region to tap into these opportunities, so far certain obstacles have been holding our businesses back.
The Health Innovation Exchange was set up to remove these obstacles and stimulate the collaboration necessary to enhance the Liverpool City Region’s capacity to innovate.
Innovators
We offered support and development to innovative Liverpool City Region businesses who were capable of moving into, or growing within, the health and care sectors with new or existing services, products or processes.
Some of the business we worked with were software developers, with the ability to offer new ways of thinking about patient interfaces. Others were technology firms or engineering firms with the resources to break into rehabilitative robotics. Others offered new ways to care for patients and increase well-being.
Ultimately, we supported SME & sector growth by breaking down boundaries, opening both minds and markets.
NHS and Care Colleagues
We also supported the NHS Trusts and healthcare professionals to find solutions to rising problems through collaboration with businesses that are creating innovative products and services.
Our aim was to support front-line healthcare staff with innovative health and care products and services that can save them time, make their jobs easier and improve patient care. Whilst also supporting finance and management colleagues to reduce costs, save time and improve quality.
