[Leeds, UK – 15 April 2024] – In a significant advancement for digital health technology, MyOpNotes, along with Leeds Innovation Pop-up, Health Innovation Yorkshire and Humber, and the NHS InSites Programme, is delighted to announce the award of Innovate UK grant funding. This is to contribute to West Yorkshire’s ambition for innovation in health technologies in line with the Levelling Up agenda. The MyOpNotes platform is set to streamline the workload of surgeons, enhance patient care, and ensure accurate financial remuneration for hospitals by automating clinical coding.

This MedTech start-up, MyOpNotes, is poised to revolutionise surgical documentation for hospitals. It achieves this through capturing precise data from surgeons, and an automated system subsequently accurately assigns clinical codes, crucial for NHS reimbursement processes.

As a member of the Propel@YH digital accelerator programme and in partnership with Leeds Innovation Pop-up, MyOpNotes has been selected for its potential to transform healthcare within the West Yorkshire innovation cluster. The collaboration ensures that this technology will be effectively integrated into the NHS, bolstering patient outcomes, and enhancing hospital efficiency.

Selected from over 70 other competitors, MyOpNotes is among eight to be honoured with this prestigious grant, signifying its promising role in the future of healthcare documentation.

This testing and evaluation model was developed by Mid and South Essex ICS, who are acting as the coordination hub for the NHS InSites Programme. In its first year, InSites have set up 15 pilot projects reaching almost 500,000 patients ranging from AI supported prevention of non-attendances in outpatients to programmes preventing anxiety around hospital admissions.
