The Northern Health Futures (NortHFutures) Digital Health Hub aims to enhance health and wellbeing across the North East and North Cumbria region of the UK. The hub facilitates responsible research and innovation in healthcare technologies (health-tech), supported by inclusive digital skills sharing, training, and making connections. We take a people-centred approach and are committed to humanising health-tech by championing equity, participation, and investment across the region. We aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone, from health and social care professionals and industry leaders to community organisations, advocacy groups and academic researchers, can come together to collaborate, innovate and share insights and experience.
