56 Accelerator alumni feature in Department of International Trade 2023 Digital Health Playbook

Posted on by DigitalHealth.London

The UK’s Digital Health Playbook 2023 Edition features over 200 UK innovators and exporters. They were selected for the Playbook after a rigorous process, based on a range of criteria including how committed they were to export and international expansion, the global uniqueness of their innovation, a track-record of working collaboratively with DIT and Healthcare UK, their responsiveness, and how well they represent the UK journey and direction in digital health, particularly with the NHS.

56 of the companies featured are alumni of the DigitalHealth.London Accelerator or Launchpad programmes:

Remote and virtual

“It is an honour for Concentric to be featured in the DIT Digital Health Playbook as we continue to expand overseas. We thank the DIT for their ongoing support in the development of international links. One only needs to look at the playbook to see the exciting array of digital health innovation coming out of the UK, and it is a testament to the UK’s reputation as a health technology leader.” – Patrick Hart – Founder’s Associate, Concentric Health.

“EIDO Healthcare have found the mentoring and advice of the Accelerator programme team to be invaluable. The opportunities and insights provided by the programme will help us drive forward the adoption of our digital solutions. We’re delighted to be part of the 2023 digital playbook.”
– Matthew Ravenscroft – Director, EIDO Healthcare Ltd.

“As a team, we threw ourselves into as much of the DigitalHealth.London activities as we could and were very fortunate to be rewarded with extra time, care and attention from digital health experts Hannah Harness, Jenny Thomas and Tara Donnelly. Net result, the Helicon Health created a sustainable business model with three distinct but complimentary business segments, all based around our self funding model and our core skills as Clinicians, Business Developers and Software Engineers. The coaching and mentoring we received helped us win an SBRI Healthcare award for self care – and that in turn helped to convince The Department of Industry & Trade (Healthcare U.K.) that we could be relied upon to put in front of a number of international trade missions starting with Arab Health in Dubai in 2018. This led to Helicon being nominated for the third year running in what is now Beyond100 top Digital Health companies in the U.K. for 2022/3. We are very grateful for all the help from DigitalHealth.London and wish others who follow every success on what is for most a tough journey.” – Tony Bowden – CEO, Helicon Health.

“Living With is super excited to be listed in the DIT Digital Health Playbook and have the support to scale all the innovation that we have developed in the UK internationally. Thank you to both the DIT and the DigitalHealth.London Accelerator for their help in getting here” – Chris Robson – CEO, Living With.

“Patients Know Best are delighted to have been listed again in the DIT Digital Health Playbook for 2023. Continued growth both nationally and internationally is a core focus for many businesses, including PKB. A key contributor to successful scaling is strong partnerships. We were proud to be part of the DigitalHealth.London programme where DigitalHealth.London as our partner supported our growth and expansion in the UK, and for the past few years we are proud to be part of DITs playbook and grateful for the support we receive exploring international markets. We look forward to continuing expanding in these areas in the future.” – Sally Rennison – Chief Commercial Officer, Patients Know Best.

“We’re absolutely delighted to be featured in the Department for International Trade’s Digital Health Playbook 2023. Our achievements in the past year are the result of the hard work and efforts of our fantastic Sapien team. We’re also grateful for the support from industry partners at DigitalHealth.London and AWS who have guided us throughout our journey. We’re excited about what’s to come next.” – Dr Matthew Beatty – CEO, Sapien Health

Ones to watch:

“We’re proud to be included as “Ones to Watch” in the DIT’s 2023 Digital Health Playbook, selected alongside some of the UK’s leading healthcare companies.  With the obvious healthcare inequalities globally the need for change is evident. Lifelight supports this change by effectively monitoring people’s vital signs regularly and remotely, via a user’s everyday smartphone or tablet.  This allows the right clinical pathway to be taken earlier and avoids later, more costly interventions for healthcare provider and patient. We appreciate the DIT’s inclusion and acknowledge the support of our partners, including DigitalHealth.London, in increasing the awareness of Lifelight.” – Laurence Pearce – CEO & Founder, Lifelight.
