ADAPT

The ADAPT project, an Interreg FCE programme part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), focused on the development of e-health solutions to tackle the issues of social isolation and mobility problems faced by disabled and older people.

Fifteen organisations across the south of England and north of France collaborated to design a smart electronic wheelchair, a virtual reality training simulator and an assistive technology training package for healthcare professionals.

Whilst part of KSS AHSN, the Unity Insights team explored how the project can contribute to the economic development of the Interreg region. The team sought to identify a typical roadmap that health technologies may take to facilitate a successful market adoption. Building upon previous stakeholder mapping, the team worked with partners from academia, healthcare, and industry to ensure a holistic approach.

The team built on the wider experience of KSS AHSN in assisting with market adoption of products within the healthcare sector, contributing knowledge and experience to support the partners in commercialising the outputs of the ADAPT project.
