Since 2008, the NHS has backed the SBRI programme, supporting over 200 companies to develop innovative technologies that match the needs of the health service. A handful of these are now selling into global markets and delivering innovation to the healthcare community. Previous SBRI Healthcare competitions have called for technological and innovative solutions to, for example, change people’s behaviour in order to reduce the impact of obesity and alcohol related diseases, how to live well with dementia and improved medicine management.
