The article argues that Norwegian digital-health suppliers may find opportunities in the UK National Health Service (NHS), citing similarities between the countries’ publicly funded, value-based systems and the UK’s interest in efficiency and digital services. Innovation Norway’s Maren Jervell Lund and UK doctor Michael Watts of Blüm Health describe the market opportunity and the complexity of entering the NHS.

Examples include Sensio’s fall-prevention and social-care technology, Dr. Drop-in’s mix of digital and in-person care, Bulbitech’s AI eye-tracking for screening, and Do More Diagnostics’ AI-based precision-cancer approach, which the article says was under validation. For home care, it names CheckWare’s patient-reported data and Medicue’s health-information sharing. For hospitals, it cites Smart Crowding for patient-flow management, DeepInsight for AI-supported surgery scheduling and DNV Imatis for mobile access to operational and patient information.

Other examples include Ledidi’s health-data collaboration platform, Mia Health’s activity and fitness tracking, and CanEat’s support for people managing allergies or medical conditions. The article describes Norway’s research base and startup ecosystem as advantages, while advising Norwegian small and medium-sized companies to account for the UK’s larger and more diverse population and complex procurement environment.
