Rapid Innovation: Reducing Time from Idea to Impact

Invent: Health

Speed is not normally something you would associate with the highly regulated world of health tech. “Rapid” time frames tend to be in the space of 3-5 years. But the Covid panic changed this - the war footing it caused brought times down enormously. It’s something that TTP played a hand in as well with Covent, TTP’s rapid manufacture ventilator for COVID-19 patients. So what can we learn from this period to bring to normal times? How can health tech practitioners work with regulators and the NHS to ensure new innovations move from idea to impact as quickly as possible? How can we achieve truly rapid innovation?
