🌍🧠 World Mental Health Day 2024 As we mark World Mental Health Day, it’s a great moment to reflect on last week’s Heka Mind Mixer with Professor Ludovic Samalin, exploring the role of digital medical devices in mental health—from diagnostics to personalized treatments. 💡 Mind Mixers are gatherings for our ecosystem where diverse minds come together for deep discussions on specific topics, supported by strong scientific insights. Through Heka, one of our key focuses is mental health, as we support startups that develop innovative digital solutions for screening, precision diagnostic and personalized healthcare. By providing these startups with the necessary resources and diverse expertise, our BrainTech fund aims to help them grow and revolutionize mental healthcare. We would like to thank Marion Leboyer and Fondation FondaMental for their invaluable collaboration with HEKA , for the impactful work they are doing in the field of mental health, and for introducing us to Professor Samalin. cc Anne-Sophie Saint-Martin Constant Beroulle Carla Paillardon #WorldMentalHealthDay #Braintech #Heka #HealthTech #MentalHealth #NewfundLPExperience

🌟 Newfund is proud to have participated in the 2024 "Enfants sans Cancer" race organized by Imagine for Margo - Children without Cancer this past Sunday! We were thrilled to join this incredible event, alongside 7,000 participants both on-site and virtually, all united in the fight against pediatric cancer. This heartwarming wave of solidarity raised a record-breaking €2.87 million, directly funding eight research programs focused on combating brain tumors, a crucial step in the battle. 🎗 Supporting this cause aligns deeply with Newfund’s commitment to impactful and concrete actions within our #ESG strategy. Health is a central focus of our initiatives, notably through our #HEKA Fund, the first digital health fund specifically dedicated to brain health. A huge thank you to the incredible organizers and dedicated volunteers whose efforts made this event unforgettable.
