A low-cost, online self-management platform for people with diabetes and a fully remote programme of type 2 diabetes structured education are among the latest technologies selected to join the NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA).
A total of 11 innovations have been selected as part of an event to launch the third year of this NHS England initiative, delivered in partnership with England’s 15 Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs).
The NIA has supported the uptake and spread of 25 high-impact, evidence-based innovations across 799 NHS organisations since it launched in July 2015.

Recruitment onto the NIA follows an international call and robust selection process, including review by a collegiate of over 100 assessors and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
