At Life Sciences Hub Wales, we drive the development and adoption of life science innovation in health and social care in Wales.
Through our programme delivery, we undertake comprehensive assessments to determine the market readiness of innovations, benefits to adoption, alignment to needs while providing constructive feedback to innovators.
About our Innovation Assessments
Our assessments offer invaluable insights to innovators, guiding them on necessary actions for successful adoption within Welsh health and care systems. Central to this assessment is a meticulous due diligence exercise, involving in-depth research into analogous products or services already at the market-ready phase.
To ensure transparency and consistency in our decision-making and reporting, we apply this assessment process to all innovations under consideration. Our dedication to this methodology is demonstrated through documented records of completed assessments, support provided, and the beneficiaries of these assessments.
These assessments are aligned with the health and social care needs of Wales and can be made available to health and social care colleagues for further adoption support decisions.
Example: Digital Wound Care Innovation Assessment
Wound management presents a major challenge in the UK healthcare system, with millions treated annually, costing billions. In Wales alone, this amounts to millions yearly, affecting the NHS budget. Effective strategies, like timely assessment and proper treatment, are vital to ease resource strain. Efficient wound care speeds healing and improves patient engagement. Acknowledging its significant impact, optimising strategies is essential to enhance outcomes, reduce burdens, and utilize resources effectively.
