Twenty-eight new Fellows joined the NHS Innovation Accelerator program in 2025

On March 19, 2025, the NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA) announced 28 new innovators (“Fellows”) awarded to join the program in 2025. NIA is an award-winning initiative commissioned by the NHS Accelerated Access Collaborative (AAC) and delivered in partnership with the Health Innovation Network (HIN). NIA provides intensive, tailored support to proven healthcare solutions, helping to accelerate their adoption and maximize their impact across the NHS.

As the NIA celebrates a decade of helping to drive innovation in the NHS, this year’s cohort aligns with the Government’s three priorities: supporting the transition from analog to digital, sickness to prevention, and hospital to home.

Awarded innovations concern e-Health, in-vitro diagnostic, gynecology, neuromodulation, and sustainability. Some examples are provided below:

• Prostate Intelligence (Pi™) - AI and machine learning-based software system designed to help radiologists detect and report prostate cancer on MRI scans;
• Nettle - a non-invasive medical-grade wearable device that transforms menstrual pain and mood symptom management through advanced neuromodulation technology;
• PocDoc - smartphone-based technology that enables clinical-grade screening for cardio, metabolic, and renal diseases in community/home settings. PocDoc’s Healthy Heart Check delivers the equivalent of an NHS Health Check in 10 minutes, as opposed to 2 (or more) appointments in primary care. It includes a full cholesterol profile, calculation of body mass index and heart age, resulting in a ten-year risk assessment for heart attacks or strokes;
• Daye Diagnostic Tampon for HPV screening is an at-home test that integrates cervical cancer screening into a familiar patient routine. It increases accessibility to vital health checks, improving early detection rates and reducing the burden on NHS cervical screening services;
• LabCycle creates a circular economy for single-use plastic waste.
