The Big Pitch 2025

38 | Dr Mark Cox A&E SHO, Co-Founder Orli Health Orli is the emotional growth platform helping children build lifelong emotional skills through play. Born out of a real-world clinical crisis, Orli bridges the gap between home, school, and healthcare to empower early intervention in children’s mental health. Through a unique blend of avatar-based storytelling, real-world missions and behavioural mini-games, Orli engages children aged 7+ while capturing emotional data that informs parent, teacher, and clinician support. Our proprietary emotional development framework, developed with leading clinicians, educators and NHS partners, tracks four core areas of growth: emotional regulation, social connection, resilience and future vision. As children play, Orli’s AI-driven system transforms engagement into insights, enabling earlier, smarter support before crises occur. Backed by Innovate UK, an NHS developmental pilot and Bethnal Green Ventures, Orli is designed to be both engaging for families and scalable for public systems. With pilots underway and strong early traction, Orli is building the emotional infrastructure children need to thrive and that society can no longer afford to ignore.

Clare Nash’s innovation, CritEcoCare, is a clinical product comparison tool that aims to support NHS trusts in getting to net zero faster, in line with the mandated 2045 goal. Using this tool, one can compare two or more clinical products, choose the greenest, and buy and deliver care more sustainably. “Building a healthier planet together, one sustainable purchase at a time.” LinkedIn: /in/clare-nash-critecocare/ Blue Sky @critecocare.bsky.social www.critecocare.co.uk/ Well organised and executed. It’s connected me with inspiring mentors, practical tools, and a powerful network of innovators across the NHS.
