Financial support for developing a Personal Health Record

The ITP programme runs an annual competition to provide support for the adoption of new innovations in the NHS.

The programme aims to overcome procurement and financial barriers to adoption, by providing central funding and support from AHSNs (Academic Health and Science Networks) on a case-by-case basis. 

The funding is allocated through the seven NHS regions in England.

Each NHS England regional director of digital transformation will determine one or more Integrated Care Systems (ICS) or System Transformation Partnerships (STP) to receive funding.

The Innovation and Technology Payment (ITP) Evidence Generation Fund is focused on personal health records (PHRs) for 2019-20.

The goal is to encourage the development of an evidence base to support the wider adoption of PHRs across the health and care system.

ICSs and STPs will need to work with an approved supplier.

The following suppliers have been assessed and selected to be available from the fund:

• Accenda Ltd supplies REMORA.
• Aseptika Limited supplies Activ8rlives.
• Evergreen Health Solutions Limited supplies Evergreen Life.
• Leeds City Council supplies Helm.
• Mindwave Ventures Limited supplies MAIA Personal Health Record.
• Patients Know Best (PKB) supplies Patients Know Best (PKB).
• Queen's Medical Research Institute (CIR), University of Edinburgh, working with Solid State Group, supplies PatientView.
• Sitekit Applications Ltd supplies eRedbook.
• Storm ID Ltd supplies Lenus Digital Health and Care Platform.
• Tiny Medical Apps supplies Digital Health Passport.
