Health Innovation East Digital Hub, launched by Health Innovation East, the innovation arm of the NHS in the East of England and digital health solutions provider Cogniss, is designed to help healthcare entrepreneurs and SMEs create and commercialise digital health solutions for the NHS.

Joanna Dempsey – principal advisor, Health Innovation East, said: ‘Our aim is to cultivate a community of digital health innovators, whether SMEs or clinical entrepreneurs, and provide them with comprehensive support to tackle the most pressing health challenges and to deliver solutions to the people and places where they are needed most.'

Access to the hub will be available via a digital health innovation programme, which will run two cohorts in 2024, each supporting up to 20 participants to produce a minimum viable product. The first cohort launches in September 2024.
