119 excellent companies initially competed for a place on the DigitalHealth.London Accelerator programme on the very first 2016 – 17 cohort, and a group of over 60 senior NHS, commercial and technical experts assessed each company’s business credibility and the likely benefit their innovations could deliver at a pan‐London level. Oviva is one of the 32 selected companies.

The pioneering, year-long Accelerator programme, the first major programme of DigitalHealth.London, will provide in‐depth knowledge of the NHS (National Health System) to a cohort of 32 high potential small and medium digital health businesses (SMEs) as they adopt and refine their innovations – to improve the lives of patients and the efficiency of the NHS and wider healthcare sector.

A dedicated team of skilled Digital Health (NHS) Navigators will work alongside the SMEs, helping them engage with healthcare experts, to understand and respond to the needs of the market and gain first-hand advice on products in development.

Oviva is a digital health company dedicated to helping people with dietary-related conditions in improving their health. Built on the company's proprietary support platform, the Oviva Coach app is designed to help people with diabetes lose weight and improve their glycaemic (sugar) control, in close collaboration with their dietitian.

Jenny Thomas, Accelerator Programme Director, said: “We’re delighted to welcome our very first Accelerator cohort and look forward to working with them closely over the next year. This is a completely new and innovative programme – the first of its kind in London – that works by engaging with businesses, the NHS and wider healthcare sector, to close the gap between product development and the uptake of new solutions within hospitals and other healthcare settings. We believe that our unique approach has the ability to help businesses engage with the NHS in the most efficient way.”

“The companies we will support frequently talk about how complicated it can be to navigate and engage with the NHS, particularly finding the ‘right person to talk to’. We believe – and lots of the companies have told us – that the Accelerator has the ability to change this, and we are delighted to be giving our first cohort the chance to work with the NHS in a completely new way.”
