Health Impact Lab
Health Impact Lab is an implementation science organization that bridges the gap between proven health innovations and real-world clinical adoption. The company applies clinically-led frameworks and rigorous methodology to move evidence-based technologies into routine patient care, with demonstrated success in cardiovascular and respiratory pathways. Their work includes large-scale NHS deployments, such as the TRICORDER AI study published in The Lancet and a London-wide cardiac waiting list management platform.

Problem
Many health innovations stall after effectiveness research demonstrates their potential benefits, creating a "knowing-doing gap" where promising technologies never reach patients. The status quo is non-adoption of evidence-based solutions, leaving health systems without the tools needed to improve outcomes at scale.
Solution
Health Impact Lab applies implementation science and clinically-led frameworks to turn promising health innovations into solutions adopted at scale. The organization draws on expertise across clinical medicine, academia, data science, regulation, venture capital, and health policy to design tailored implementation strategies. Their work starts where conventional research ends, focusing on real-world deployment, outcome measurement, and sustainable funding pathways. They have successfully converted implementation studies into new NHS standard-of-care pathways, including for obstructive sleep apnoea diagnosis and AI-enabled heart failure detection.
Target Audience
Primary customers are NHS trusts, health systems, and medical technology companies seeking to move evidence-based innovations into routine clinical care and secure sustainable adoption pathways.
