🚀 Redesigning Health Devices for a Sustainable Future 🌍 Recently this incredible research connected the DICE project was published on how smart pillboxes can be reimagined using circular economy principles to reduce environmental impact. By integrating the 10R strategies like refuse, rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose, and recycle, they’ve uncovered a roadmap to a greener future for health devices. 🔍 Key Takeaways: Simplify and Innovate: From using apps to eliminate electronics to creating temporary systems that prevent idle devices. Extend Lifespan: Durable, cleanable materials and replaceable parts make devices last longer. Adapt and Repurpose: Modular designs mean products can serve new purposes after their initial use. Recycle Efficiently: Easy disassembly and material separation facilitate effective recycling. Implementing these strategies can lead to substantial reductions in environmental footprint and align with stricter environmental regulations. The DICE project team’s work showcases the potential of rethinking and redesigning for sustainability. 🌱 Hats off to the researchers for this valuable contribution. It’s time for all of us to rethink how we approach health device design and push towards a more sustainable future.

"All things around us are getting smarter – let us also smarten up our innovation environment."   Paper-based electronics offer huge potential for the personalised devices of the future, especially due to their low cost and flexibility. In this #InnovationStory, ERT Member Cláudia Azevedo, CEO of SONAE, talks about the collaboration between NOS (by Sonae) and sustainable innovation R&D lab AlmaScience to develop smart “add-on” elements to personalise the TV viewing experience.     But even when the potential of a new product is clear, the road from innovation to commercialisation is long. How can Europe ensure the necessary ecosystem catalysts to accelerate that journey?   Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dKU9tVcZ #innovation #smartliving #homeelectronics #paper #tehchnology #sustainability

When Roy Jakobs became president and CEO of Royal Philips—or Koninklijke Philips N.V. as it’s known in the Netherlands, there wasn’t much cause to celebrate. The Dutch conglomerate had posted losses after a massive recall of breathing devices and other challenges dampened sales and investor enthusiasm. That prompted Jakobs to cut thousands of jobs soon after stepping up in October of 2022. He approved a deal to settle economic loss claims related to the recall for about $429 million the following year. While Jakobs continues to deal with a decline in orders and other challenges, including a recall last month of some 150 MRI scanners at risk of exploding, he’s had success in turning the 133-year-old company around. Comparable sales for Royal Philips were up 11% in the third quarter to €4.5 billion, or roughly $5 billion, and the company made €224 million in income from operations after losing more than €1.5 billion a year earlier. Having cut jobs and streamlined the organization, he’s focused on accelerating the company’s growth in tech, from informatics and image-guided therapy to personal care. He’s excited by the potential of AI to not only improve his products but also expand access to more people, especially in underserved areas. Then again, few shifts are easy in healthcare. #ceo #ceomindset #ceolife

IFWE put a hospital on wheels ? ⚕️Health is on the move and the #U1stVision moves with it - using technology and advanced mobility to bring health services to when and where they are needed most! 🩺 Introduced for the first time at Viva Technology earlier this year this concept vehicle is a real innovation to fight against medical deserts and illustrate what the future of health consultations will look like. Software République developed this unique #U1stVision concept for the future of mobility powered by the leading player in telemedicine such LOXAMED and leading provider of personal smart health devices by Withings delivering reliable medical, health and wellness data with a better experience. The virtual twin 3D experience leveraging AppleVision Pro was helping to understand how this works out and do a virtual tour (the real concept car was too crowdy). I really love this concept , as we need to find new and purpose driven usages, it was ideated and engineered by Software République, which is an open innovation collaborative initiative with Dassault Systèmes | Eviden | JCDecaux | Orange Business | Renault Group | STMicroelectronics  | Thales Eric Feunteun Laurence Montanari Dr. Luc JULIA Frédérique LE GREVES Frederic Angeli Valérie Cussac Philippe Keryer Olivier Gordien Guillaume Gerondeau Henri Beringer Charlotte de Boisguilbert Myriam Beaves 3DEXPERIENCE Lab Tom Acland Mark York Philippe LAUFER Mustapha BOURAOUI Guillaume Kerboul Claire Biot #U1stVision #Vivatech #innovation #healthcare
