Each year we receive significant applications for our MAA Programme. Each year Innovators who apply to the Market Access Accelerator go through a rigorous selection process, including shortlisting and an interview with a mixed clinical/digital/business panel. We have to reject a lot of good companies because we keep the cohort small so we can give each participating company a significant amount of time and effort throughout the programme.
We believe the companies selected to participate and the innovations they bring to market have significant potential to transform the NHS as they develop into successful digital health businesses, and we have been delighted to have worked with them.

VocaVibe’s innovation is a conversational chatbot for people living with Parkinson’s, which lets patients and clinicians catch the earliest signs of symptom progression. Through active interaction with patients throughout the day, the chatbot continuously monitors signs of motor symptom progression, cognitive decline, depression, swallowing difficulties and treatment effect. Real-time alerts are provided to the patient’s clinicians, enabling earlier intervention and preventing common causes of hospitalisation, such as aspiration pneumonia and medication mismanagement.
