DHI (Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre)

Our focus

We play a pivotal role in supporting collaboration to co-design person-centred digital health and care solutions across service, technical and business innovation.

We are shifting the balance of care from a traditional treatment focused model to one that focuses on prevention, detection, post event care and self-management.

Our priorities

Our portfolio aims to address the key challenges identified by the Scottish Government in health and care, with a current focus on:

• Cancer
• Cardiovascular
• Covid-19 (including service remobilisation)
• Chronic respiratory
• Citizen empowerment
• Demand & capacity management
• Diabetes
• Digital skills & workforce development
• Healthy Ageing
• Mental Health

What we do

• We support the essential transformation of health & care services in Scotland
• We operate an effective partnership model, bringing together health and care practitioners, industry, academia and citizens to collaborate to solve key demand-led challenges
• We co-design and deliver digital solutions to improve health & care and provide sustainable and inclusive growth for Scotland
• Our unique innovation process model focuses on five key stages and enables us to provide a range of specialist services. Our partners can pick and choose the services that will add the most value and have the greatest impact on their projects.
