About us

DigitalHealth.London connects NHS staff, digital health companies and academics, and equips them to improve the NHS and social care in London through digital technology.

Our programmes provide bespoke advice, mentoring, education, peer networking, brand awareness and partnership opportunities, to digital health leaders who are tackling the biggest challenges facing patients, and NHS and Social Care staff.

Our history

DigitalHealth.London was launched in 2016 with the aim of creating an active digital health market in London by removing some of the challenges that were holding innovators back.

This led to the creation of our Accelerator programme, aimed at supporting adoption of high potential digital health companies in London’s NHS, and subsequently the Launchpad programme for earlier-stage companies. The Generator programme was developed in 2018 as an expert network to support evidence generation collaborations between academics and digital health companies, to help ensure NHS organisations could feel confident about choosing the right technologies. In 2018 we also launched the Digital Pioneer Fellowship programme to support innovators within the NHS to lead and deliver transformation projects on the ground. In addition to our programmes, we’ve run regional and international Accelerators, supported investment firm projects, run outpatient transformation events for the health sector, and been part of a number of other initiatives which have supported the growth of digital health in London’s NHS.
