It is often the simplest ideas that have the most impact. I feel this is something more charities should be doing (if they are of a sufficient size to support it), or at the very least, they could try to leverage their influence to set up funding competitions on the likes of Innovate UK or a new venture investment arm of the NHS to identify relatively low cost high impact treatments/products/systems.
In my day job we often get approached by people with conditions, who have an idea for a product or service that would help them (and by extension, others with the same or similar condistions). But the issue is always funding. Every single time.
