'A health innovation programme to advance the use of novel diagnostics across Greater Manchester has been boosted by over £6m investment from life sciences, digital and creative industry partners, as well as £7.7m from Innovate UK, the UK’s national innovation agency.
Over the next two years, the health innovation accelerator will focus on tackling some of the most challenging disease areas through early diagnosis using novel approaches and holistic treatment aligned to people’s specific needs. It is hoped this will help to save more lives and improve health outcomes for people at high risk or living in the most disadvantaged communities.
The £14m programme includes a range of projects in diagnosing liver disease, heart failure, lung cancer, chest pain and cardiometabolic conditions, as well as the ground-breaking DEVOTE programme, to deliver bedside genomic tests to prevent a second stroke in a patient who has experienced a stroke; rapid point of care devices to detect genetic changes; and the development of a ‘pharmacogenetic passport’ to improve the effectiveness and safety of medicines for patients.
The health innovation accelerator is delivered through a partnership between Health Innovation Manchester, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, and the University of Manchester.
Further partnerships with global organisations and SMEs in life sciences, digital and creative industries have also been secured to provide additional expertise in technology and analytics, diagnostics and genomics, user research and marketing. The novel approach to industry partnerships testament to the strength of the city-region’s existing collaborations with life sciences and digital businesses.'
