Real World Testing (Living Labs)

Testing innovations in real NHS environments

Our Living Labs provide a safe and supportive space to test digital tools, new treatments and care models within real NHS services. This unique approach allows innovators to validate their ideas in authentic settings, generating strong evidence for safety, usability and effectiveness.

​

Through close collaboration with clinicians, service users and researchers, we help partners design studies that capture meaningful outcomes. This process ensures innovations are practical, efficient and aligned with NHS priorities. Living Labs also offer the opportunity to explore integration with existing systems, refine products based on user feedback and build the evidence needed for wider adoption across health and care networks.
