Grow Digital Health Midlands

Working in collaboration with Health Innovation West Midlands we launched Grow Digital Health Midlands during 2025, an ambitious new programme designed to support UK technology companies in developing and scaling high-potential digital health innovations within the NHS and care sector.

Building on the success of the previous East Midlands Digital Health Accelerator, which ran from 2018, Grow Digital Health Midlands offers an increased reach, scale and impact for successful applicants.

The programme invites innovators to bring forward digital solutions to address some of the most pressing challenges within the NHS and care system.

Companies receive support to enable the adoption, spread and scaling of their innovation within the Midlands health and care system by accessing an intensive package of expert support, including:

  • Monthly one-to-one business coaching.
  • Group workshops, training and development.
  • Showcasing to NHS and care system stakeholders across the NHS Midlands region.
  • Connections to relevant third-party subject matter experts.
  • Exhibitions at high profile digital health conferences and events.
  • Access to exclusive funding opportunities to support trialling and adoption in the NHS and care sector in the Midlands.

The 2025 cohort included eight high-potential companies with solutions that are ready to deploy including:

  • DXS ExpertCare
  • Heidi
  • Surgfit
  • ApptHealth
  • Suvera
  • Hope
  • AirEmail
