Applications are now CLOSED for the Health Tech Enterprise Innovation Voucher Competition, sponsored by product design and development specialist Smallfry, which rewards the most novel ideas in MedTech innovation. The results and future competitions will be released here soon.
What are we looking for?
Innovation Vouchers are designed to support the development of new medical technologies. Entries are limited to those supporting the development of physical devices or diagnostics platforms. Each voucher will be worth approximately £3,000 of in-kind support.
The Innovation Voucher will enable the winners to work with the Health Tech Enterprise and Smallfry teams to develop and progress their idea through activities such as:
• Ideation workshop followed by concept drawings or story boards
• Development of computer aided design (CAD) model
• Design review of an existing prototype
• Putting together a user or product requirements specification
Previous Innovation Voucher winner Dr Luke Lintin of Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, who won the award to further the development of a novel solution for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, said “I am delighted to receive this award for my work, and hope that the funding received, and future collaboration with product development specialists will be the perfect catalyst for the development of this project.”
Dr Lintin’s device stood out because of its huge potential to deliver life-changing benefits to millions of women across the world. Do you have an innovation that could make a difference to patients and improve healthcare?
