Who is the Innovation Lab for
The Innovation Lab is designed for digital health and health-tech companies that:

Already have a working product or funded roadmap
Are actively targeting the NHS or NHS-aligned vendors
Recognise that interoperability and workflow fit are central to adoption
Want to move from conversations to real delivery
The Innovation Lab is particularly valuable for teams who are struggling to convert early interest into pilot activity or credible partnerships.
Helping companies move from interest to real pilot activity inside the NHS.
What is the Innovation Lab?
The Innovation Lab is a focused engagement that helps you:
-
identify realistic partner and pilot opportunities
-
understand how your product fits into real NHS and vendor workflows
-
shape a delivery and integration approach that can actually be deployed
-
and position your product for genuine adoption
It is not an accelerator.
It is not a demo programme.
And it is not a pitch stage.
It is a practical working environment designed to help you land your first serious delivery opportunity.
As part of the Innovation Lab, you gain structured access to the EPR Network run by the Healthcare Innovation Consortium.
This brings together NHS organisations and software vendors working to improve EPR optimisation, interoperability and digital delivery.
Through the Lab, SI-Squared helps you engage with this network in a focused and relevant way, rather than relying on informal introductions or unfocused networking.
How the
Innovation Lab works
The Innovation Lab is designed to be light on theory and heavy on progress.
We begin by understanding your product, your target customers and the environments you need to integrate into.
From there, we work with you to identify realistic partner routes and pilot opportunities that align with your commercial goals and delivery capability.
Alongside partner identification, we also explore your integration and delivery approach to ensure that any proposed pilot can genuinely be deployed and supported.
The focus throughout is on reducing risk for both you and potential partners, and creating a delivery opportunity that can lead to wider adoption.
What the Innovation Lab typically delivers
By the end of the Innovation Lab, most organisations will have:
At least one credible partner or prospect identified
A clearly scoped pilot or proof-of-concept opportunity
An initial integration and delivery approach aligned to the target environment
A clearer positioning story for NHS and vendor audiences
