34 | Nicki Allen CEO and Founder of Haptiv8 Haptiv8 is a wearable technology company that is developing an innovative solution for tip toe walking (TTW), a condition where young people walk on their toes instead of using a heel-to-toe gait pattern. TTW affects 2% of children by age 5.5 rising to 45% in autistic children. If left untreated, TTW can lead to musculoskeletal deformities, gait and balance issues, chronic pain and tendon lengthening surgery. Haptiv8’s solution is technology that delivers a sensory reward when the heel contacts the ground promoting a natural gait pattern. The reward can be customised to the individuals needs - the sensory reward can be either vibratory, visual or audible and the intensity can be adjusted. The technology can be incorporated into an insole, shoe, or splint, tracks usage and provides real time data to clinicians and parents making it a unique data driven approach that is fun and effective for young people.

Nick created MyRenalCare to bridge the gap between overburdened renal services and the rising demand for personalised, patient-centred care. MyRenalCare empowers people living with kidney disease to take control of their health through selfmonitoring, tailored education, symptom tracking, and streamlined clinician-patient communication. It enables clinicians to remotely monitor their patients and conduct 100% virtual consultations (no phone or video calls). This significantly increases outpatient capacity whilst reducing costs and carbon emissions. It represents a scalable solution that helps prevent the progression of CKD with earlier and more optimised interventions and aligns to many NHS objectives including: prevention, reducing elective waiting times, increasing productivity, addressing health inequalities and net zero. MyRenalCare won the NHS Parliamentary – Future NHS award in 2024 and has been selected for the most recent cohort of the NHS Innovation Accelerator.
