Digital and Artificial Intelligence
A digital-first health service, powered by innovation, is at the heart of the government’s new 10 Year Health Plan.
From predictive analytics to ambient voice technology, digital transformation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are critical to delivering on government ambitions to increase NHS productivity, and the three shifts in care (hospital to community, treatment to prevention, analogue to digital).
The 15 health innovation networks across England are working locally and nationally with our partners to find, test and implement digital technologies that improve patient outcomes, increase NHS productivity and reduce waiting lists at scale, while delivering economic growth.
Through our innovator offer, we support the development of digital products, from idea conception through to real-world validation and strategic deployment through our national network.
Our new 2026/27 programmes are launching soon.
