NHS Readiness Assessment Tool (beta)

At Unity Insights we have been supporting innovator preparedness for the NHS for many years. Utilising our unique understanding of the NHS, and our skills in artificial intelligence, we have developed our first Innovator Readiness Assessment Tool.

What is the purpose of the NHS Readiness Assessment Tool?

The NHS is a world leader in healthcare innovation, but even the most innovative solutions can struggle to get on the ground in a complex, resource-constrained system. Innovative pilots fail to scale because priorities are uncoordinated, there are operational barriers, or there is no evidence of impact in real-world settings.​ The NHS Readiness Assessment Tool was developed by Unity Insights to address these challenges head on. By combining AI-driven analytics with NHS-specific frameworks, our tool gives innovators a clear, fast-tracked assessment of their innovation’s NHS fit, saving time and lowering risks related to adoption.​

As a social enterprise, Unity Insights provides support services to innovators and the NHS. After successfully supporting hundreds of clients and receiving excellent feedback, we have made our services available to a wider audience.

Please note: This is a beta version. Some features may not work perfectly and improvements are ongoing. We welcome any feedback as we continue to refine and enhance the NHS Readiness Assessment Tool.
