  • Navigating Scotland’s Digital Health and Social Care Innovation Ecosystem: Mapping Support Structures from an Entrepreneurial Perspective

    This report presents the first structured mapping of Scotland’s digital health and social care innovation support ecosystem from an entrepreneurial perspective. Using a mixed-methods approach combining ecosystem mapping based on desk review, readiness-level analysis, and engagement with key stakeholders and entrepreneurs, the study identifies 59 organisations supporting innovation across the Quadruple Helix domains of academia, industry, the public sector and the third sector. The analysis reveals a broad yet highly specialised ecosystem, in which support is primarily concentrated in the early stages of innovation — such as funding, mentoring and networking — while functions related to regulation, service integration and system adoption appear less visible and more fragmented. The findings suggest that the principal challenge for innovators is not the absence of support, but the difficulty of navigating and sequencing existing resources throughout the innovation journey. At the same time, the study highlights that, although a relatively established base of support exists for digital health innovation, support specifically directed towards digital social care innovation remains less visible, less clearly articulated and more difficult to identify. < Return to resources Navigating Scotland’s Digital Health and Social Care Innovation Ecosystem: Mapping Support Structures from an Entrepreneurial Perspective Cáceres-Fegrero, Y., Rimpiläinen, S., and Lyons, A.

  • Developing a Design Brief for a Virtual Hospice Using Design Tools and Methods: a preliminary exploration

    Providing equitable access to specialist palliative care, regardless of diagnosis or geographical location, with relatively limited resources and an ageing population, will become increasing difficult for all hospice services. This paper describes the development of a Design Brief for a Virtual Hospice using design tools and methods. The project began by observing Hospice staff and their interactions with patients. Three User Personas were then created based on data gathered through interviews with a small number of patients and professionals. Each Persona’s progress through the Highland Hospice service was visualised on a User Journey Map in the form of insights and opportunities, with five key themes emerging. The final step involved producing a Design Brief that synthesised the research findings in the form of a plan for creating, prototyping, and testing the Virtual Hospice. < Return to resources Developing a Design Brief for a Virtual Hospice Using Design Tools and Methods: a preliminary exploration Taylor, Andrea and French, Tara and Lennox, Jeni and Keen, Jeremy Providing equitable access to specialist palliative care, regardless of diagnosis or geographical location, with relatively limited resources and an ageing population, will become increasing difficult for all hospice services.

  • Scaling digital health innovation: developing a new 'service readiness level' framework of evidence

    Digital health innovations often struggle to scale beyond pilot stages due to a lack of understanding regarding the evidence needed to convince decision-makers to adopt them sustainably. This paper, based on interviews with decision-makers engaged in digital health innovations in Scotland, presents a heuristic service readiness level (SRL) framework to capture the evolving evidence needed for scaling digital health innovation projects. By analysing what evidence is required and how data accumulates over time, this framework assists project teams in building a compelling case for scaling digital health innovations. < Return to resources Scaling digital health innovation: developing a new 'service readiness level' framework of evidence Hughes, J., Lennon, M., Rogerson, R. & Crooks, G.

  • Envision – a Digital Blueprint for a Smart Home of the Future

    Envision is a digital blueprint for the smart home of the future, developed through the Moray Rural Centre of Excellence as part of the Moray Growth Deal. The project combines digital health and care technologies, low-carbon design and adaptable housing principles to support preventative care, independent living and more sustainable future-ready homes. < Return to projects Envision – a Digital Blueprint for a Smart Home of the Future Project impact Improved health and wellbeing outcomes through preventative care and independent living support Reduced carbon footprint through low-carbon housing and adaptive design Six housing providers exploring adoption in new build and retrofit projects Envision is a digital blueprint for the smart home of the future, developed through the Moray Rural Centre of Excellence as part of the Moray Growth Deal. The project combines digital health and care technologies, low-carbon design and adaptable housing principles to support preventative care, independent living and more sustainable future-ready homes. Developed through the Moray Rural Centre of Excellence, Envision is a digital blueprint for the smart home of the future. The project explores how housing can play a more active role in supporting health, wellbeing and sustainability by bringing together low-carbon design, digital health and care technologies, and adaptable housing principles within a single framework. Designed initially for rural Scotland but applicable across a range of settings, the blueprint supports the development of homes that can generate energy, anticipate care needs and adapt to changing circumstances over time. While presented as a new-build concept, its underlying principles and digital architecture can also be applied to existing housing stock and retrofit programmes. Structured around three core components — the Guide, the Matrix and the Model — Envision provides organisations with practical tools to support the planning, design and delivery of future-ready housing. By positioning housing as preventative infrastructure, the project offers a framework for addressing the interconnected challenges of health demand, climate change and technological change. Summary Envision positions housing as an active contributor to health and wellbeing rather than simply a place to live. By supporting preventative care, independent living and the use of digital technologies within the home, the blueprint demonstrates how housing can help reduce pressure on health and social care services while improving outcomes for residents. The project also contributes to wider sustainability goals through low-carbon design, energy generation and adaptable housing approaches that can evolve alongside occupants over time. By providing a shared framework across housing, health & care, technology and policy, Envision supports a more joined-up approach to addressing the interconnected challenges of health demand, climate change and demographic change. Impact & value The project has produced a comprehensive blueprint framework comprising three core tools. The Guide sets out the evidence base, design principles and supporting narrative; the Matrix provides a phased capability roadmap; and the Model demonstrates an adaptable smart home concept in practice. Developed through collaboration between the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI), Moray Council and BE-ST, the blueprint has already attracted interest from housing providers. Six organisations are currently exploring how Envision could be applied within both new-build developments and retrofit projects. Progress to date The next phase of Envision will focus on supporting adoption and piloting activity with housing providers and partners. This includes applying the blueprint within real-world projects, extending its use beyond the initial rural context, and continuing engagement with architects, engineers, digital specialists and policymakers. Work will also continue to refine and promote the Guide, Matrix and Model, alongside the publication of supporting resources to help organisations implement the blueprint within future housing developments.

  • Scottish Access Collaborative Gynaecology Final Report

    This report details the activity and outcomes of a series of design-led workshops involving stakeholders of Gynaecology services in NHS Scotland. Participants came from 13 specialists’ areas and 5 different NHS Board areas, giving both a broad geographic and functional reach. The first step for the workshops was to identify common Gynaecology patient symptoms, noting their importance. Issues were mapped for each symptom and areas to focus on agreed upon. Further discussion around these focus areas led to suggestions for sustainable improvement to Gynaecology services. These ranged from additional targeted patient information, virtual consultations for follow-up and dedicated vetting in secondary care to clinical cluster groups, and nationally accepted referral guidelines which are easy to access and follow. Future work will involve national support to ensure the Gynaecology community, along with primary care partners are supported to make the necessary changes to ensure efficient and effective patient pathways are achieved. < Return to resources Scottish Access Collaborative Gynaecology Final Report Porteous, Alex and Blank, Line and Schauberger, Ute and Smith, Paul and Brooks, Elizabeth This report details the activity and outcomes of a series of design-led workshops involving stakeholders of Gynaecology services in NHS Scotland.

  • Designing in Rural Highland Contexts: Exploring the Role of Technology in Facilitating Human Connections

    There is a need when introducing new technology in health and social care settings to involve those who will use the technology, or be affected by it, at an early stage of the design process. Experience Labs employ a participatory approach for different stakeholders to share lived experiences, and collaboratively create ideas and solutions for health and social care challenges. In this paper, we propose that the participatory approach of the Experience Labs provides a valuable space for collaboration to explore the potential and impact of supportive technology in rural communities. Initial findings suggest that participating in Experience Labs leads to a better understanding of communities of care as established by individuals and support structures in place, and how these can be mediated by technology. < Return to resources Designing in Rural Highland Contexts: Exploring the Role of Technology in Facilitating Human Connections French, Tara and Blom, Jeroen and Raman, Sneha There is a need when introducing new technology in health and social care settings to involve those who will use the technology, or be affected by it, at an early stage of the design process.
