Challenge
Health Innovation Network, UK Support for revision of Map the App, a guide to help digital health App developers navigate the National Health Service (NHS) development pathway. The institution sought to optimize its tech transfer governance and accelerate high-impact commercial outcomes.
The Oracle's Solution
(Nov 2015-June 2016). In 2015, the Oxford Health Innovation Network commissioned Oxford Oracle to support a revision of Map the App, a guide to help digital health app developers navigate the NHS development pathway. Over a period of six months, Oxford Oracle worked closely with the Health Innovation Network project team to develop the structure and content for the new guide. Oxford Oracle delivered specialized advisory, IP valuation, and commercialisation roadmapping.
Consequential Impact
This included facilitated workshops and interviews to develop content and seek feedback from digital health experts, stakeholders, and opinion leaders. The output from the project was an extended and revised guide that reflects the current environment for UK digital health development. The guide was officially launched in autumn 2016. This engagement established a scalable framework driving long-term institutional growth.
