Digital Health Unplugged: Chris Chaney talks Rewired Pitchfest

Jordan Sollof is joined by Chris Chaney, chief executive of CW+, the official charity of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, to talk all things Digital Health Rewired Pitchfest. Chaney, who will once again be part of the judging panel for Pitchfest 2025 announced recently, talks about some success stories that have come from the annual competition for start-ups and how it has been a platform for companies to go on and achieve big things. He then explains what makes a perfect pitch and what exactly the judges are looking for, before highlighting why start-ups should apply for the next edition. Rewired Pitchfest is an annual competition for startups, offering them the chance to pitch in front of a live audience of NHS leaders, investors and industry peers. The winners will gain access to expert advice from CW+ and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust’s CW Innovation team, and the potential to run a project in the trust. The live Pitchfest finals will take place in the Start-Up Zone at Rewired 2025, at the NEC in Birmingham, 18-19 March 2025. Applications for Pitchfest close on 23 August 2024.
