Propel @ YH Boot Camp
This year we also delivered our inaugural Propel @ YH Boot Camp for global innovators . Working closely with the Department for International Trade ( DIT ) and the Texas Medical Centre , the week-long accelerator programme was aimed at companies based in the US who wanted to bring their products to the UK healthcare market .
The international cohort had access to five days of intensive support , knowledge and engagement with UK healthcare experts . It also gave them the opportunity to engage directly with local NHS stakeholders , as well as the wider healthtech ecosystem in the Leeds City Region .
The US Boot Camp cohort included :
•
Televeda - an online hub for older adults to combat social isolation .
•
Behavidence - an app that helps users achieve great mental wellbeing with daily feedback based on a user ’ s digital behaviour .
•
Luminare - the Sagitta workflow management programme helps hospitals to identify sepsis quicker and ensures timely treatment .
•
Lab Ready - the world ’ s first and only automated system that collects and stores bacterial samples for a faster and a more confident diagnosis .
Each SME benefitted from a programme of masterclasses , workshops and networking events on topics such as understanding how the NHS works , NHS governance , finance and procurement frameworks , clinical safety and supplier regulations , developing evidence-based proposals , and reimbursement models .
We are aiming to extend our bootcamp to other countries later in the year .
