Public healthcare systems are facing unprecedented challenges: resource shortages, rising patient demand, outdated infrastructure, and mounting pressure to deliver better outcomes. Meanwhile, health innovation is evolving rapidly, but bringing it into your system can feel complex and risky.
HIPSS helps healthcare providers adopt innovation using innovation procurement, such as pilot funding schemes and collaborative procurement approaches, that are designed to meet your specific needs, not just offer generic solutions.
With our support, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Unlike traditional procurement, which often starts with a fixed solution, demand-driven innovation starts with the problem you want to solve.
It’s about using your purchasing power not just to buy, but to shape and test the solutions you really need.
Here’s how it works:
Start with your real challenges :Whether it’s understaffing, care coordination, or patient follow-up — you define the need, in your own words.
Engage with the market early: You open a conversation with innovators to explore potential solutions and co-design what might work in your setting.
Pilot and evaluate before scaling: You can run a small-scale trial before committing, reducing risks and gathering real evidence.
Step-by-step guide to innovation procurement: Practical instructions to go from needs assessment to piloting and scaling.
Tailored advisory services: One-on-one support to plan your approach, engage the market, and set up a procurement path that fits your capacity.
Matchmaking with startups & SMEs: We help you find innovators who are relevant, compliant, and pilot-ready — saving time and resources.
Support to evaluate pilots: Tools and expertise to measure pilot results, make evidence-based decisions, and report internally.
We’re launching soon.
