How have we been involved ?
Over the past five years , Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber has been working in partnership with Healthy . io and NHS organisations across the region , helping to pave the way for wider adoption and spread of the innovation . Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber has played a key role in helping Healthy . io to successfully pilot their solution in the NHS to demonstrate its potential , as well as helping the company foster evidence gathering and secure funding to rapidly deploy and scale their technology in the NHS , in the region and beyond .
With support from Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber , thousands of people living with diabetes across West Yorkshire are using pioneering new technology available via the NHS to test for chronic kidney disease at home , without needing to visit their GP practice .
How have we been involved ?
In 2018 , we supported Healthy . io in designing and implementing a pilot programme to test the feasibility and effectiveness of their smartphone-based urinalysis technology in a primary care setting . The pilot was successfully delivered across Hull , Airedale and Wharfedale – enabling 500 patients with diabetes , across ten Modality Partnership GP practices , to test their own kidney health from home using the company ’ s ACR test kit and smartphone app .
Over the past five years , we ’ ve continued to support the company to connect with potential partners in the NHS , and rigorously test , evaluate and implement their solution in the NHS , supporting wider spread .
