We are very lucky to say that Open-OH from the start has been a publicly funded project which includes range of stakeholders from the NHS, Academia and social enterprise organisations.

The current developments and what has let Open-OH come to life is the Phase 2 Funding Call to develop new occupational health tools. This grant was funded through Innovate UK’s Small Business Research Initiative and kindly funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).

This opportunity will enable us to accelerate the development and launch of Open-Oh over the coming months.

There is a lot of hard work ahead of us with our early adopters and advisory board, but the whole team is immensely excited to see this innovation come to life in the hands of people that need it most.

Until next time, 

The Open-OH team
