Devices for Dignity:

Delivering innovative solutions to support patients with long term conditions, preserving their dignity and independence.

Devices for Dignity is a National pilot Department of Health programme. We've been set up to drive forward innovative new products, processes and services to help people with debilitating conditions deal with their daily challenges.

Through working with inventors, clinical and healthcare staff, industry, academics and patients, we want to bring real solutions to areas of clinical and patient need. We have the ability to take ideas from concept through to commercialisation and aim to do this as rapidly as possible.

We are unique in that we have a national focus and are able to provide hands-on support to innovators, rather than simply pointing in the right direction.

This means D4D can speed up the process from idea to market.

Our work currently focuses on three key areas: Assistive technology Urinary continence management Renal technology So whether you're a member of the public, working in the healthcare sector, or working in industry - if you've got an idea or an invention that fits our themes and you want to discuss how to take it forward, get in touch.
