Healthcare technologies

Like you, we're passionate about making a difference

Making life and work easier for patients and clinicians is at the heart of what we do too. Whether it's innovating next-generation technologies, giving people with disabilities more independence or enabling older people to stay in their homes for longer, we'll share your project aims and work with you to achieve them.

We’ve worked in partnership with many organisations including Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; Embrace – the Yorkshire and Humber Infant and Children's inter-hospital transfer service; Sheffield Children's Hospital; Trulife UK and Tomorrow Options. Talk to us about how we can work with you too – helping you achieve the developments or innovations you have in mind.
