The innovation arm of the UK’s National Health Service, NHSx has launched a £500,000 funding competition for innovators and startups who can find digital ways to support people in need during the Coronavirus outbreak. The fund will concentrate on tech initiatives that help people with mental health support and those with social care needs, and support for those who may be most affected by the consequences of remaining housebound for long periods of time.

Dubbed Techforce19, the program is being launched by NHSx and will be managed by GovTech venture firm PUBLIC. which has stated that it will not receive any payment for running the competition.
