New Children & Young People’s HealthTech Accelerator
Thursday 26 September 2024
As part of the new National Centre for Child Health Technology based in the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park, a new Children & Young People’s HealthTech Accelerator will provide the opportunity to deliver ground-breaking paediatric medical technologies.
The National Centre for Child Health Technology (NCCHT) will be a pioneering hub for paediatric medical technology development and innovation. The centre will provide a space for clinicians, academics, industry, and importantly children and families, to come together under one roof to create digital tools and health technologies at every stage of the innovation pipeline.
The NCCHT will provide a wide range of services, from cutting-edge clinical spaces, engineering suites, robotics labs, networking and event spaces, and more. One of the key initiatives from the centre is the Children & Young People’s HealthTech Accelerator. A collaborative partnership between UP Ventures and Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust will deliver a 12-week accelerator programme on behalf of the NCCHT, driving market adoption of new health technologies from early stage companies and fast-tracking them throughout the NHS and into international markets.
