Digital Prototyping

Digital Prototyping

To help connect and bolster regional activities of organisations and individuals working in the health and care space, we are exploring the design and development of digital tools and platforms to support the connection of key stakeholders within, across and beyond the NENC region. 

Many partner organisations across NENC already have well-supported ’Innovation Pathways’. Our work explores how further digital support might help to connect and bolster the activities of companies, local authorities, NHS Trusts, University researchers and members of the VCSE sector and other innovators.   

Our design and prototyping process follows a Research-through-Design approach, and involves active collaboration and dialogue with the NortHFutures consortium, plus empirical research with stakeholders and intended end users working in Digital Health, to better understand what kinds of tools and services best fit our regional needs.
