Catalysing collaborations to develop healthtech solutions responding to unmet needs of people with long-term conditions
About us
D4D is funded by the NIHR to act as a catalyst within the NHS for the development of new medical devices, healthcare technologies and technology-dependent interventions. D4D has developed an adaptable approach to addressing unmet clinical needs. After a clinical need has been identified, we use our networks of patients and experts to independently refine and validate the need. Once we know exactly what the problem is, and that it has a high clinical priority, we can start exploring creative conceptual approaches to addressing the problem, before moving towards producing and refining prototypes. This approach ensures that valuable time and resource are not wasted in developing technologies that are ultimately unlikely to reach the clinic or marketplace. Having developed prototypes, we then evaluate how they can work in clinical practice and as part of people’s daily lives. This helps us to obtain the evidence that we need in order to achieve the vital CE mark, and to provide the information needed by clinical departments and NHS purchasers to enable the device to be used in clinical practice. D4D supports businesses to: De -risk innovative projects; Identify and address unknowns from project outsets; Eliminate surprises through the development and commercialisation process; Identify the best people and organisations to work with. Four areas which have proven value are: Concept validation: Checking that product concepts match real user needs; avoiding the trap of trying to sell products to customers who don’t really want them. Regulatory services: Establishing a reliable route to regulatory approvals; addressing specific unknowns right from the project outset. Grant Application Support: Helping businesses to identify appropriate sources for development grants and putting together winning grant proposals. Clinical Evidence Planning: Understanding the immediate business needs for clinical evidence and defining

This is a great opportunity to work under to work under the supervision of Dr. Ning Ma (University of Sheffield), Prof. Simon Heller (University of Sheffield), and Prof. Nick Oliver (Imperial College London) with the PhD aiming to advance machine learning and voice analysis technologies to develop a non-invasive approach for monitoring glucose levels in individuals with diabetes. If you are interested click on the link below 👇
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship to work under the supervision of myself, Prof. Simon Heller (University of Sheffield), and Prof. Nick Oliver (Imperial College London). The interdisciplinary project aims to advance machine learning and voice analysis technologies to develop a non-invasive approach for monitoring glucose levels in individuals with diabetes. This project is supported by Devices for Dignity: The NIHR HealthTech Research Centre in long term conditions, where diabetes is a key theme. It also aligns with the research priorities of Insigneo Institute and Centre for Machine Intelligence. The partnership will ensure its relevance to real-world diabetes care and drive the project’s translational impact. The award will fund the full (UK or Overseas) tuition fee and UKRI stipend (currently £19,237 per annum) for 3.5 years, as well as a research grant of £4500 to support costs associated with the project. Application deadline: 29th January 2025. Please feel free to share the advert to those who might be interested. For more details and to apply, visit https://lnkd.in/eDeAZqay #diabetes

We were honoured to speak at the Emergence Summer School in Nottingham yesterday about 'Designing for Dignity' It was great to introduce the majority of the audience to Devices for Dignity and show how we always look to co-design and listen to the patient voice, ensuring the devices we collaborate on are suitable and fit for purpose. Thank you to Praminda Caleb-Solly, Rebekah Moore and the EMERGENCE team for inviting us to showcase the work D4D are doing and how we work with patients at the forefront of what we do.
