Nelson Advisors partner Lloyd Price and a panel of HealthTech CEO's and Founders debated a range of topics at The Future Health event in Leeds on Thursday 8th May with former Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
A number of points were made by the panel including the need for a centralised ‘Kitemark’ for evidence standards across providers, the need for suppliers to have a clear route to commercialisation in what is a very complex and challenging landscape, as well as the need to allow procurement to be open and competitive to all suppliers.
In addition, other points of interest in the discussions and debate included:
- Digital fatigue: Clinicians overwhelmed by tech that doesn’t ease their workload.
- Collaboration over competition: Heather emphasized there’s ample opportunity for all—no need for a scarcity mindset.
- Integrated solutions: Mike Sanders highlighted the necessity for companies to work together, offering a comprehensive view of capacity.
- Evidence-based adoption: Lloyd stressed the importance of robust evidence for new technologies to gain trust and traction.
