Test beds for innovation bring together industry, academic and healthcare service to improve NHS and social care in Scotland. 


The national network was set up by the Chief Scientist Office of Scottish Government, to allow innovative solutions to be tried out in a real-world environment and ensure they are fit for purpose – clinically, financially and operationally - before being brought into wider use.  

Test beds cover different aspects of NHS care - from managing long term conditions, digitising services, exploring health apps to integrating AI and machine learning.

Explore the videos on this site to learn more about the test bed model, explore current projects across Scotland and gain insight into transformational change within the health service. 

This is an evolving platform. If you have an innovative project to feature please get in touch.
