Smart Health Innovation across Homes & Cities including ‘ACTION Now’ Conference Sessions, an Exhibitors Innovation Village and Hackathon.
This is a Future Care initiative in partnership with GIANT, 10–11 Nov ’20, London, UK. One of the main focuses of this event is to incorporate utilities data as a on invasive means of remotely monitoring health and wellbeing in the home.

An Interreg2Seas EU Consortium led by University of Greenwich (UoG) plus 9 EU consortium partners. Future Care was the instigator of this initiative and UoG agreed to be the lead. The focus was to develop a medical device to remotely monitor cardiovascular, dietetics and obesity. The grant tender was for €3m over a 30-month period of which Future Care would receive €500K. This was rejected but will be re-submitted in 2020.
This initiative was as a result of Future Care winning an open challenge set by Cambridge Wireless, Cambridge University and Digital Catapult IoT to collaborate on and extend Cambridge’s LoRaWAN smart city infrastructure. To gain experience and understanding of this market, Future Care responded to this challenge and an Eastern Academic Health Science Network’s (AHSN’s) challenge to predict falls.
We have applied for a patent and have an EU consortium to support this initiative and are currently seeking an organisation to lead on it.

An eLearning programme to support Future Care’s vital signs product and services delivery to consumers, healthcare professionals and clinicians.
In 2018, Future Care won an InnovateUK Design Foundation grant of £60K to research CyberPharma™ (CyPh) barriers to market for a disruptive health and wellbeing service that would enable high-street pharmacies to provide medical consultancy in conjunction with a medical-grade wearable device providing real-time data and a complimentary second opinion with an on-demand medical triage service. The application was made as a Community Interest Company (CIC) which, despite the funding documentation, was not recognised by InnovateUK and therefore was rejected.
In 2018, Future Care, supported by Red Ochre, won an InnovateUK Design Foundation grant of £70K to research the service design in developing support and reduce stress for senior and middle managers of ‘the sandwich generation’, caught between work/managerial responsibilities and their home life, juggling the demands of childcare and ailing elderly relatives. Future Care brought on board partners MERCER and CarersUK to collaborate on this research. Due to InnovateUK’s time constraints, we were unable to execute and report on the research by InnovateUK’s deadline and therefore had to decline the funding.
Future Cities Catapult and HS2 teamed up in 2018–19 to run a hackathon to inject innovation into HS2’soperations drawing on the potential of smart health and city technologies. Future Care brought together a team to address health and wellness of those driving trains or other means of transport, and reduce the potential of public, driver and passenger fatalities or incidents caused by undiagnosed medical conditions in drivers, or stress and fatigue resulting in loss of control of their vehicle. The three components to this solution were: an IoT diagnostic platform focused on enabling railway operators to locate assets within 5m accuracy, a facial recognition security company and Future Care’s vital signs wearable. We presented a working live demo of the service and reached the semi-finals but did not win due to a misunderstanding of the innovation’s combination of these three separate technologies into a single pioneering solution.
