It involves the NHS working with innovators using technology to address complex issues facing patients and the health service.<\/p>\n<p>The new competition will allow businesses and NHS organisations to apply for a share of up to \u00a36 million. This funding can be used to evaluate different combinations of innovations from small and large organisations to address a locally identified clinical challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The competition will be run in collaboration with Innovate UK.<\/p>\n<div class=\"call-to-action\">\n<p><a rel=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/apply-for-innovation-funding.service.gov.uk\/competition\/124\/overview\">Find out more and apply for the NHS test bed funding competition.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The first wave of the Test Beds programme saw first-of-a-kind collaborations. Over 4,000 patients were recruited in 7 test bed sites across England and 51 digital innovations were trialled in partnership with 40 innovators. An evaluation report will be published in summer 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Lord O\u2019Shaughnessy, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Test Beds programme has enabled ground-breaking digital innovations to transform the lives of patients with dementia, diabetes and mental illness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">Phase two of this pioneering research will allow us to learn even more from emerging technologies so that NHS clinical practice can adapt to the big health challenges we face.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Jonathan Burr, founder and CEO Howz, who is taking part in the first wave of the test beds, said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\">There have been many advantages to being part of the Technology Integrated Health Management test bed. We have been able to benchmark ourselves against others, had access to a world-class university and the project has created visibility. Most importantly, being part of <abbr title=\"Technology Integrated Health Management\">TIHM<\/abbr> means that Howz is now part of a clinical pathway \u2013 without the test bed this would have taken us years to achieve.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The projects will be evaluated rigorously, providing the evidence which will give more areas the confidence to adopt the innovations over the coming years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A competition to identify a second wave of test beds will allow organisations to apply for a share of up to \u00a36 million in funding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89355"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=89355"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89355\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89406,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89355\/revisions\/89406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=89355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=89355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=89355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
