Imperial Health Impact Lab
Health Impact Lab applies implementation science and clinically-led frameworks to move evidence-based health innovations from research into routine patient care. The organization has converted implementation studies into new NHS standard-of-care pathways, including for obstructive sleep apnoea diagnosis and AI-enabled heart failure detection, and manages pan-London cardiac waiting list optimization through a technology 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, and manage pan-London cardiac waiting list optimization through a technology platform.
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.
Features
- Implementation study design and delivery using clinically-led frameworks, including the TRICORDER cluster-randomised controlled implementation trial published in The Lancet
- Real-world outcome measurement using NHS datasets, enriched with AI inputs, supporting one of the largest clinical AI deployments in the NHS
- Technology-enabled clinical pathway optimization, including pan-London cardiac waiting list management that unlocked onward NHS funding
- Expertise spanning clinical medicine, academia, data science, regulation, venture capital, and health policy
- Proven track record of unlocking sustainable NHS funding for adopted innovations, including a new standard-of-care diagnostic pathway for obstructive sleep apnoea
- Programmes spanning cardiovascular (heart failure screening, cardiac prevention), respiratory (sleep apnoea diagnosis), and public health (population health platforms, patient portal epidemiology)
