CLIENTS, COLLABORATORS AND PROJECTS

Stonnivation are providing consultancy services to develop strategies, networks and initiatives for NHS Highland. Our focus is to develop applications for emerging technology that improve remote and rural healthcare services and the subsequent outcomes and wellbeing of citizens.

CENSIS and NHS Highland are developing a testbed to trial non-clinical IoT applications within the health board’s estate, including building maintenance and asset tracking.
SHINE-INTERREG NORTH SEA REGION
The SHINE project aims to push transnational and cross-sector co-operation in the healthcare economy, in order to disseminate the most innovative healthcare solutions and to develop new economic activities for SMEs across the North Sea Region.
MOVE - INTERREG NORTH SEA REGION
(Semi)-rural areas are often excluded from new or green mobility initiatives like car and bike
sharing, Uber and large scale 0-emissions transport. Long distances and too few users make
these too costly or simply not feasible, so many people use cars. Those who cannot afford/use
cars are less likely to get a job or will leave to go to cities.
To solve these issues MOVE will take on a new approach in developing innovative and
sustainable mobility initiatives through co-creation, bringing together local authorities,
knowledge centres, local economic players and (temporary) inhabitants
ONE HEALTH BREAKTHROUGH PARTNERSHIP
The One Health Breakthrough Partnership has been formed by NHS Highland, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, University of the Highlands and Islands, Scottish Water and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency taking an upstream approach to reducing environmental pollution with pharmaceuticals (medicines) and working towards a non-toxic environment.
