Evidence Generation for Digital Health Companies: What You Need to Know

REGISTER

Are you a digital health company looking to generate evidence for your innovation? This event is for you.

Hosted by the Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) and Prova Health, this event will provide information and advice on how digital healthcare innovators can generate clinical evidence within the NHS. We will cover the practicalities of undertaking clinical research, the importance of health economic data, and the evidence that needs to be in place before an innovation can be adopted for use in the NHS. We will also cover funding streams that are available to support research and evaluation activity.

The morning will include talks from:

  • The Yorkshire and Humber AHSN: One of 15 AHSNs set up by NHS England to operate as the key innovation arm of the NHS. They work with NHS organisations to understand key areas of need, and with innovators to identify solutions which can address those needs. The Yorkshire and Humber AHSN will provide an overview of support that they offer to digital innovators, including bespoke support through the Propel@YH digital accelerator programme.

Prova Health will provide a session on why evidence is important in digital health and how to generate it.
  • York Health Economic Consortium (YHEC): A health economic consultancy based at the University of York, YHEC have supported a range of digital health tech companies with the health economic assessment of their innovations.
