Evidence shows that when people understand their condition, know what matters most, and are given the right tools at the right time, they consistently achieve better wellbeing and quality of life.
Our system brings together personalised plans, digital self-management, genomics and implementation science into one connected system that supports patients, clinicians and health services to work as one.
SIMPSI was developed by the Institute of Clinical Science and Technology. Everything within the SIMPSI suite is based on clinical evidence, NICE guidance and behavioural science.
We design every interaction to strengthen capability, opportunity and motivation so that high-value medical actions are adopted in daily life.
Improving outcomes at scale requires more than good ideas. SIMPSI applies structured implementation science to achieve real adoption across whole systems, moving from small pilots to sustainable impact.
SIMPSI brings together digital tools, data, and implementation support into one connected system. Patients are supported in understanding and managing their condition day to day, clinicians gain clearer insight to guide care, and commissioners can see measurable outcomes across populations. The result is a more consistent, scalable approach to improving health.

I’m enormously proud of what has been created. It shows what can really be achieved when true innovation is embraced, and I cannot underestimate the dedication and commitment of the team at SIMPSI and ICST. Without their expertise, none of this would have been possible.
I think the app is great, and I think it’s got a lot of useful tools. I especially love that I’m able to track peak flows, and for me, it’s great that the action plan is there so that if I were unwell my husband would be able to understand and know what to do next.
This is the most helpful development in healthcare that I can remember in 35 years of being a GP
Together these components create a single ecosystem for patients, clinicians and commissioners.
The Institute of Clinical Science and Technology (ICST) developed the SIMPSI methodology through years of delivering national programmes across the NHS.
ICST brings together clinical expertise, behavioural science, and implementation science to ensure that innovation is not only designed well, but successfully adopted in real-world healthcare settings.
This approach has supported large-scale improvements in patient outcomes, service delivery, and consistency of care across multiple pathways.
ICST’s approach is based on delivering real change across healthcare systems to ensure solutions are practical and effective.
This methodology has been proven through national programmes, supporting consistent uptake, reducing variation, and improving outcomes without adding burden to services.
Through SIMPSI, ICST brings this experience into a connected system, linking patient self-management and population data to deliver better control and impact.
Our award-winning approach recognises the real-world impact we deliver, helping patients take control of their health while supporting services to achieve better outcomes at scale.
