Children & Young People Digital Health Challenge 2026

The Children and Young People Digital Health Challenge 2026 is the next innovation programme under the Ripple Digital Health Challenge initiative. This Challenge aims to accelerate the development of impactful, scalable digital health solutions that address the crisis point reached in children and young people's health, where children are less healthy than they were a decade ago and face increasingly long waits for the care they need. It seeks visionary solutions that meet young people where they are and extend support into the community, including schools, clubs and other parts of the neighbourhood.

Ripple Scale is now seeking delivery partners, funders, advocates and community leaders. Whether you're a health system, research group, NGO, clinician network or corporate sponsor, this is your chance to lead meaningful change.

Every adult's health story begins in years they barely remember. Together, we can accelerate change that truly meets the needs of our young generations and shapes the future.
