Nordic Healthcare Group

The future of FemTech in Swedish healthcare! 🧩 We are proud to share the important work Maya Callens and Maria Andersson has done in collaboration with Nordic Healthcare Group to contribute to the The Future of FemTech in Swedish healthcare. They completed their master's thesis from the Bioentrepreneurship program at Karolinska Institutet and passed with distinction with their study on how #FemTech; a growing sector in digital health technology, can be implemented in Sweden’s public healthcare system. Here are some highlighted challenges and opportunities from their work: Challenges 🔹Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within FemTech often lack the incentives and resources to integrate with public healthcare. Only 20% of public procurements require proof of efficacy --> highlighting the need for stricter evaluation standards. 🔹Successful use of digital health technologies requires collaboration between patients and healthcare providers. However, without engagement from medical professionals and decision-makers, these technologies risk falling through the cracks. 🔹Concerns around data privacy and discrimination remain significant challenges, especially in an industry that is largely consumer-focused. Opportunities 🔸Having product advocates among healthcare professionals can be crucial in driving the adoption of FemTech. 🔸Starting in the private sector can provide a pathway into public healthcare. 🔸Collaboration with already established companies can provide the credibility and resources needed to scale up. FemTech has the potential to revolutionize healthcare for women, but to truly make a difference, we need to overcome the existing barriers and leverage the identified opportunities. Let’s work together to drive innovative FemTech solutions and bring them into Swedish healthcare! #healthcare #femtech #digitalhealth

🧱 What has MedTech to do with the Berlin Wall? 🍕How does ordering a pizza fit in? 🍃 And who is the Windman of Change?   Our Senior Partner, Petteri Järkkä, describing himself as ever the cynical optimist and also a 24-year veteran of healthcare, shares his personal story of hope in the field of MedTech. 🏥   He truly believes that we are now witnessing a transformative period in healthcare, a sprint, driven by technological advancements and a renewed focus on innovation. ...and yes… we always say this… but why is it different this time?    “The MedTech industry is expected evolve in its approach to value demonstration. By harnessing the power of data and evidence, to craft narratives showcasing both the tangible and relevant long-term benefits of new innovations, especially as those innovations often come with higher initial price tag.   The challenge lies not only in identifying and combining a multitude of relevant data sources, and parameters but also in effectively crafting them into a compelling value story towards the different stakeholders” writes Petteri.   🔗Read more in Petteri's blog post: https://lnkd.in/d-GtdsC7   #healthcare #medtech #innovation #technology #blog Picture: AI generated image
