Propel @ YH Net Zero
Alongside our Propel @ YH programme , we also launched Propel @ YH Net Zero last year . This pilot project was commissioned by West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership to support the NHS in reaching its net zero target by 2040 . This health accelerator was aimed at SMEs with green innovations .
Patients Know Best and Dignio were amongst the first ever cohort selected to be on the Net Zero programme and the Yorkshire & Humber AHSN worked closely with them over a three-month period to offer advice and support with their innovations .
Both companies ’ technology empowers the patient to oversee their own healthcare , alongside medical professionals - they both use digital systems and therefore keep patients out of hospital .
Patients Know Best ( PKB ) is a digital personal health record platform that allows both patients and healthcare professionals to access healthcare records anytime , anywhere .
It empowers the patient to oversee their own healthcare , understand their conditions and manage their health and wellbeing , alongside medical professionals . Using a digital system supports keeping patients out of hospital , including enabling them to access tailored resources created by their healthcare teams , to support self-management of their condition .
Dignio is a digital integrated care platform that connects both patients and healthcare professionals , providing virtual remote care . It is patient-focused and empowers the user to self-manage their condition with support from healthcare professionals .

Patients Know Best were fortunate enough to be part of the Propel @ YH Net Zero programme , alongside a number of innovative and exciting companies . The Yorkshire & Humber
AHSN continues to support our environmental mission , providing a huge wealth of knowledge to support our journey and being that critical friend , highlighting key areas for us to explore further .”
