A new SBRI East competition is being launched in the East of England to find ways to help better support the growing number of people with long-term health conditions. It is looking to industry to bring new technological solutions to support the achievement of health priorities in the East of England and increase the possibility of adoption in the NHS. This competition is open to all companies, including those not currently engaged in the health sector.

Increasingly, more people are living with long-term health conditions and quite apart from the personal issues this creates; it poses a significant challenge to the local health service. We are therefore looking to fund the development of ideas that could help alleviate this problem.

NHS East of England would like ideas that can be shown to make a difference to the care of people with long-term conditions. The areas that proposals should focus on are:

• Delivery of care closer to home and in the home
• The empowerment of people to take greater control and responsibility of their health and care
