TRANSFORMING DIABETES CARE THROUGH INNOVATION

 Identifying Priorities and Mapping the Diabetes Innovation Landscape in Scotland 

INTRODUCTION

Transforming Diabetes Care through Innovation is a project undertaken by the Digital Health and Care Innovation Centre (DHI) on behalf of the Scottish Health and Industry Partnership (SHIP) and the Scottish Diabetes Innovation Technology Group. The project aimed to map the current diabetes innovation landscape, gathering an overview of innovation projects undertaken in Scotland with the potential to impact the experiences of people living with diabetes in the next five years. Through engagement with people living with diabetes and relevant health, care and third sector professionals, it sought to understand unmet needs and identify gaps in the diabetes innovation landscape. This will inform future innovation funding calls for diabetes that are centred on the needs and aspirations of people living with diabetes and the professionals who support them. 

This report presents the project methodology and findings in draft form for discussion. A web report format has been chosen to allow the reader to interact with the diabetes landscape maps. We welcome feedback on the level of detail provided and the format to inform further refinements.
