The National Innovation Centre
A National role with focus on development of innovations
With national impact (HCAI, MRSA Dx) In areas that sit alongside mainstream hospital functions In areas that demand a pan-regional approach (PROTECT)
NIC Approach
Use of web-enabled tools to assist innovators prior to any interaction with NIC staff
Tools have been developed based
- n experience drawn from:
Innovation Incubator Centres Innovation Assessment
- rganisations
Lessons learned from NHS Innovation Hub operations Input from VC & Investor communities Learning from innovation enterprise centres (eg: Palo Alto, MIT….)
Tools are:
Scorecard Navigator Collaboration Clinical Need Showcase
Stimulating the Market – Demand Push
NIC has developed
Systems to identify clinical need - so that companies produce technologies that the NHS wants An on-line system for commissioning innovation
Options Appraisal: Field of Possible Solutions Options Appraisal: Field of Possible Implementations
Problem or Need Selected Solution (Specification) Prototype Product
An IDEA should be the result of structured problem solving
What about that “Eureka!” moment?

The OHIO Platform (Open Health Innovation Ontology)
Ontology
- An ontology models concepts and relationships within the domain of innovation
- OHIO (Open Health Innovation Ontology) has been developed by the NIC. As a bridging ontology it
spans the entire innovation pipeline.
Data
- Sources of data: e.g. Open.gov data, PubMed
- Curated: e.g. professional rendering of data
- Datafeeds: e.g. automated Natural Language. RDFa tagging
Triple Store
- In the semantic web, data is stored in a triple-store, enabling data to be very finely profiled
- Following rendering, semantically-enhanced data is disseminated via ‘SPRQL-endpoint’.
- semantically-enhanced data can then be expressed via a wide range of applications
Applications
- There are many ways to visualise and understand data
- Open Source community offers plethora of tools to exploit: MIT, Google Labs
- Widget Platform: a place where people can find and upload their data, and then with this data create
and share as well as embed applications in their own sites.
