Turbo-charging digital health innovation Nine Leeds-based HealthTech companies and another 10 UK innovators gained £ 11.4m of investment during their participation in Propel @ YH, which also saw us invest £ 240,000 directly into the local economy.
Propel @ YH is our digital health accelerator providing companies developing digital health solutions with a six-month course of bespoke support and content aimed at enabling accelerated company growth and adoption. The programme also helps to ensure that our region’ s population can benefit from new ideas and technology first.
The programme is supported by our commission from the Office for Life Sciences and this year we won additional funding for Propel @ YH from our long-term partners, Leeds City Council and the Shared Prosperity Fund. This investment enabled us to
recruit an additional nine Leedsbased HealthTech startups and scaleups to join the cohort. Thanks to this funding, we have been able to support a total of 19 HealthTech innovators in 2024-25.
The innovators on the programme this year were:
• Aire Innovate – AireConsult is a digital innovation powered by contactless vital sign observations delivering enhanced patient care through online consultations.
• MiiCare – Transforming care services across the country by keeping older adults healthier at home.
