EPIC eHealth
eHealth Productivity and Innovation in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (EPIC) acts to connect a variety of stakeholders across the eHealth ecosystem in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to strengthen the innovation network and help to bolster sustainability.
Patients, health and care professionals, commissioners and innovators all have a role to play within the ecosystem – whether it is sharing valuable input, adapting ways of working to incorporate feedback or utilising connections to create worthwhile solutions – everyone is important.
Not only do we work directly with patients and forge relationships with commissioners, we also provide sector-specific support for local businesses to develop new eHealth products and services. These new innovations will not only create new jobs in the region and support the local economy, but can create truly useful innovations which could improve quality of life and boost wellbeing for many.
Our support is completely bespoke to each business registered with us, whether you would benefit funding to test the feasibility of your idea, a bit of direction to help you evaluate or evidence your product, understand your end user or upskill yourself at a our events – there is something to suit everyone.
The project has received funding from the European Regional Development Fund as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020.
