Who developed eMaps

The eMaps platform was developed by the Oxford Academic Health Science Network, an NHS organisation in England. The Oxford AHSN was set up to support the life science industry, academia and healthcare work together to ensure patients have timely access to great innovations that have been proven to be clinically or cost-effective.

Through European Institute of Innovation & Technology for Health funding the Oxford AHSN formed a consortium of expert partners from key markets across Europe and the USA. Together we developed a suite of online modules to support innovators and SMEs navigate the complexities of market access in healthcare.

eMaps is a not-for-profit initiative that provides innovators with cost effective advice in a scaleable way. The small subscription charge allows the Oxford AHSN and its partners to maintain the eMaps platform and continue to invest in keeping the content up to date, relevant and valid for its subscribers.
