Research and innovation for
new healthcare interventions

IfM Engage provides consultancy services to help people and organisations across the healthcare ecosystem, including funders, university researchers and R&D leaders, to achieve their research and innovation goals.

Challenges we help to address

• Developing an ecosystem-wide vision and strategy for the early detection of a complex condition, such as cancer.

• Research planning, especially for complex multi-stakeholder, multidisciplinary research projects.

• Alignment of the innovation portfolio with business priorities.

• Idea generation, evaluation and selection for healthcare innovations.

• Through-life service design for healthcare medical devices.

• Healthcare intervention design, integrating clinical, technological, service and business model aspects.

Current project: Accelerating Innovation in Healthcare

The IfM Accelerating Innovation in Healthcare project is seeking to accelerate the transition of medical research into innovations in practice, using the IfM’s proven Roadmapping and related Strategic Technology and Innovation Management (STIM) methods.

This project has resulted in the publication of the report Changing Minds, Changing Lives with the charity, The William Templeton Foundation for Young People’s Mental Health (YPMH).
