The Technology Strategy Board is charged with solving the problems facing local and national government departments. There is a specific programme called the SBRI that is of interest to our readers. The SBRI (small business research initiative) run competitions which private companies can pitch in for, those that are successful get full funding for the programme of work. As you can imagine the remit for this programme is wide and all encompassing. But having a look on the site has revealed a number of health care competitions currently ongoing or opening soon:
- Keeping Children Active - An SBRI competition is being launched in the East of England to look for ways that technology could be used to improve how children stay fit and healthy. Children are taking less exercise than they used to and there are rising rates of obesity amongst young people – increasing by 45% over the last 10 years.
- Managing Long Term Conditions - An SBRI competition is being launched in the East of England to find ways to help manage the growing numbers of people with long-term health conditions, such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. It is looking to industry to bring new technologies to support the achievement of regional health priorities and increase the possibility of adoption in the NHS.
- Patient Safety and Long Term Outcomes - An SBRI competition is being launched in the East of England which aims to use new technologies to improve patient care and eradicate errors – with a focus on patient safety. Could technology provide the answer and ensure best practice is applied every time?
