How have we been involved ?
We played an instrumental role in supporting the development of PinPoint ’ s life changing innovation . The test itself was developed in collaboration with the University of Leeds and Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust , with support from Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber , Leeds Academic Health Partnership ( LAHP ), and West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer Alliance .
Having worked with PinPoint from the very early stages , we have continued to support the company with acceleration and spread . This has included helping the company secure funding , connecting them with partners in the NHS , and trialling their technology to support wider spread .
We helped PinPoint Data Science to secure £ 750k Small Business Research Initiative ( SBRI ) funding to spread its test in North West Coast primary services at the end of 2021 . Further support from ourselves and the wider Health Innovation Network saw PinPoint receive a further share of £ 9m in SBRI Healthcare funding in 2022 to accelerate roll-out .
“ Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber has been really helpful at every stage . Anytime that innovation in cancer has been talked about , Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber has been really good at bringing us along and promoting us . At the end of December 2021 , we presented the exciting potential for our technology to a group of people from NHS England . That led to a series of meetings with NHS England , which in turn led to the SBRI work that we ’ re now doing . We ’ ve since had several grants , all of which Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber has supported us in acquiring .”
