12. What is behaviour change
14. Technology already being used to change behaviour
15. Who can use technology to influence behaviour change? Basically everyone...
...retailers, employers, community groups, local authorities, charities, social enterprises, faith groups, government, NHS and health services, third sector organisations, statutory bodies, foundations, schools, colleges, universities, nurseries, online forums, social media networks...
everyone could use technology to influence their behaviour
16. A number of health related behaviour change programmes running We are hoping that technology developed will complement the work that the NHS and local authorities are already delivering
17. The issue…alcohol In 2011 there were 1 million alcohol related admissions to hospital costing the NHS in England £2.7 billion
We have increased the amount we drink - 2004 9.4 litres per person per year - 2011 11.7 litres per person per year
In London alone 2.4 million people drink at harmful and hazardous levels – there are 8 million people in London
18. The issue…obesity 60% of the adults in the UK are overweight or obese
A third of 10 -11 years olds are overweight or obese
If this rate continues by 2050 60% of the total population will be obese
19. Competition challenge statement We are looking for technological solutions that can help change behaviour in order to reduce the impact of obesity and alcohol related diseases.
Specifically, we are looking for ideas that will enable behaviour change in everyday life. The technology must be easy to use and whilst it may at first seem novel, it will be designed with the aim of merging seamlessly into everyday life.
All applications will need to demonstrate how the technology would fit into the lives of busy Londoners - or other urban dwellers across England. They will also need to demonstrate the affordability/cost effectiveness of the proposed technology.
20. Competition time lines
21. Phase 1 will have up to £800,000 available In scope
Technologies that will enable behaviour change in everyday life, that are easy to use, affordable and that can be developed to fit into the lives of busy Londoners - or other urban dwellers across England.
Technology ideas can be owned by the individual or work through organisations such as healthcare providers, local authorities, retailers and transport providers.
Out of scope
Strategies for how the NHS should influence behaviour change
Solutions without a clear technology focus
Solutions with no clear route to market
22. Phase 1 – application form Title and description of proposed idea/ technology
Technical project summary
Current state of the art and intellectual property
Project plan and methodology
Technical team and expertise
Finances
23. Essentially the application should describe What is the idea?
Why are you the right people to deliver it? (and who are the partners you will be working with)
How big is the market opportunity and how will you test it?
24. Applications will be assessed on the basis of the following criteria How well does the proposal address the challenge?
To what extent does the proposed project have commercial potential to lead to a marketable product, process or service?
How significant is the competitive advantage which this technology affords over existing/alternate technologies that can meet the market needs?
How appropriate is the technical approach that will be adopted?
How sound is the approach of the proposed plan for establishing technical and commercial feasibility?
What is innovative about this project? To what extent does the project develop or employ novel concepts, approaches, methodologies, tools, or technologies for this area?
To what extent does the company appear to have the right skills and experience to deliver the intended benefits?
How effectively will the project be managed? The proposal should demonstrate that there is a clear management plan which will enable the resources, including manpower to be used to maximise high quality research outputs.
(Further details can be found in the Invitation to tender, SBRI_DH_100_001)
25. Reporting and support available during Phase 1 Behaviour change support from London Health Programmes: up to 2 days/project
Reporting will be light touch
Payments will be issued on a quarterly basis unless otherwise agreed
26. At the end of Phase 1 (Feasibility Phase) each project much fill in an End of Phase Report The End of Phase report must describe:
Description of how the benefits of the technology and the market opportunity have been tested
Description of any potential long-term collaborations/partnerships entered into. Please list the company and the role they played in the project.
Description of the innovative aspects of the work including any new findings or techniques.
Quantification of market opportunity as stated
How, by whom and where the proposed product will be used, for example primary care, secondary care, point of care
The estimated sales price and the expected return on investment
The expected technical performance of the product (brief outline)
Evidence the technology is fit for purpose
27. On this basis, a number of projects will qualify to compete for Phase 2 (Prototype Development Phase) From the final reports generated in Phase 1
Those with proven economic benefit and technical feasibility
Will enter competition for Phase 2 funding
Have the opportunity to gain full funding for development
As part of the Phase 2 application process you may be required to prepare a pitch for the selection panel

35. SBRI Competitions First Competition - £3m 177 entries
11 companies shortlisted & received £100k each to test the feasibility
4 companies received up to £250k to develop the product ready for market
One company is selling now
Second Competition - £2m 70 entries
8 companies shortlisted to receive up to £100k each to test feasibility
£1.4m available for the second phase of development
Assessment in April 2012 for second phase of funding
From the 11 companies who received feasibility money – we have 3 that have gone on to develop their produces independently of the SBRI programme; one – Eykona is selling its products to the NHS and beyond and two other companies (Cambridge Design Partnerships and Oxford BioSignals) who are in the final stages of their development and clinical testing.
The second competition is focused on Long term conditions – with 8 companies who have been testing the feasibility of their ideas for the past 6 months – they potentially will offer new ideas around wound treatment, enabling independence in mental health and frail patients, point of care testing, non-invasive overactive bladder treatments, and some very interesting ideas around AMD and Diabetic retinopathy.
In addition to the clinical benefits we have seen employment grow and businesses receive financial investment from the commercial markets – enabling high value British businesses to succeed in this global market.
