Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish information on his Department's planned FemTech Accelerator.

Answer

The Accelerating FemTech programme is led by the Health Innovation Network (HIN) South London, one of England’s 15 Academic Health Science Networks. The pilot programme is part of the Biomedical Catalyst programme commissioned by Innovate UK.

Accelerating FemTech supports innovators to boost development of technology solutions to address current challenges in women’s health. It is divided into two programmes. The first is a series of webinars and events on the FemTech challenge, which have taken place with summaries and recordings published on the HIN website. The second is a targeted 10-week accelerator programme, which started on 5 September. The programme impact will be measured and published next year by HIN.
