“Great call from SBRI Healthcare addressing the unique challenges women face across their lifespans, and to recognise and act on inequalities. “
Alex Leach, Deputy Director of Programmes

The Women’s Health Strategy for England, The Scottish Women’s Health Plan, and the Women’s Health in Wales discovery report outline strong evidence of the need for a greater focus on women’s health, addressing the unique challenges women face across their lifespans, and to recognise and act on inequalities.

Under the overall theme of “Women’s Health”, Competition 25 Phase 1 invites early-stage innovations in the following three priority areas:

  • Gynaecological Conditions and Hormonal Health
  • Mental Health
  • Chronic Conditions and Long-term Health.

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.

Single organisations (contracts are executed with individual legal entities) based in the UK or EU from the private, public and third sectors, including companies (large corporates and small and medium enterprises), charities, universities, and NHS providers, given a strong commercial strategy is provided, are eligible to apply.
