The 2014 NHS Innovation Challenge Prizes have been launched which will focus on diabetes, as well as infections and the use of technology in healthcare.
Some £650,000 in prize money is up for grabs plus professional support from Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen unit, 3M, Accenture, Health Fabric, HSJ and the Allied Health Professions Federation. Janssen is providing £200,000 for the two diabetes ‘challenges’.
This will be split between “practical solutions that demonstrate improvements in patient outcomes through the implementation of integrated care services” and programmes to help improve health outcomes amongst black and minority ethnic communities, for whom the prevalence of diabetes is up to six times greater compared to the UK’s white population.
