SBRI announced funding for stroke care

SBRI Healthcare - Competition 26 - Stroke

Under this Phase 3 Funding Competition, three challenges have been identified via consultation with clinicians and other stakeholders working in provision of care across the spectrum and review of the James Lind Alliance Stroke Priority Setting Partnership for Stroke Research:

• Early diagnosis

• Rehabilitation

• Life after stroke.

Emphasis should be placed on how the technology/innovation will address any challenges associated with health inequalities, such as demographic and geographic disparities, and it is expected that applicants provide details on how they will address these e.g. provide details on the care pathway the intervention will affect and how it can improve this.

The aim of the competition is to facilitate the collection of evidence in real-world settings and build on the value proposition required by commissioners and regulators to accelerate the uptake of the innovation into relevant health or social care settings.

The competition is open to any innovation (e.g., medical device, in-vitro diagnostic, digital health solutions and AI solutions, behavioural interventions, and service improvements) that meets the entry criteria and the challenges described in the Challenge brief.
