In the future, citizens will become an even stronger partner in designing and testing digital health solutions to ensure THEIR NEEDS are met. Innovators and investors will need to partner up to ensure that long-term impactful and interoperable solutions thrive in the healthcare ecosystem

Digital Health Innovation in Switzerland! I. Innovation Switzerland is recognised as one of the most innovative countries in the world, highly ranked for many years in the IMD World Digital Competitiveness II. Digital Health Startups 357 digital health startups were identified in Switzerland by the Swiss Healthcare Startup’s directory guide spanning through the entire patient journey (from prevention to diagnosis, treatment and monitoring) III. Regions Switzerland has three main regions, which are home to digital health innovations: canton of Zurich, the Arc lémanique region and the Great Basel Area. IV. Ecosystems Digital health ecosystems are emerging, for example networks of different organisations and solutions across the healthcare sector that share a digital infrastructure to ensure a seamless experience for patients. These networks increase transparency and efficiency in communication between the different actors V. Investment Investment into Swiss digital health startups has been steadily increasing until this year, reaching 30 investment rounds in 2022 (8% of all rounds) totalling close to 200M CHF (5% of all capital invested to Swiss startups in 2023). VI. Regulatory The Swiss regulatory framework around digital health is poised for significant evolution. Public authorities need to set national standards and a clear framework for digital health in Switzerland together with international regulatory bodies and industry stakeholders. VII. Outlook In the future, citizens should become an even stronger partner in designing and testing digital health solutions to ensure their needs are met. Innovators and investors will need to partner up to ensure that long-term impactful and interoperable solutions thrive in the healthcare ecosystem Check out this fantastic article by digitalswitzerland (with great case studies Decentriq heyPatient, Soignez-moi.ch and TOM Medications) here: https://lnkd.in/dKkkD6M2 At DayOne - Healthcare Innovation , enabling a vibrant health tech hub at the interface with the Pharma and Medtech industries is our daily business.

Did you know there's an ongoing rise in #hospital-driven #innovation in Flanders? I recently helped write a White Paper on the topic 'Paradigm Shifts in Health Innovation: From Product Push to Market Pull'! 📖💡 The MEDVIA White Paper is based on a survey with hospital Innovation Managers, and outlines the ongoing transition in Belgium from #healthinnovation being primarily driven by knowledge institutes and companies, towards R&D efforts now increasingly being tackled by the #healthcare organizations themselves. 🏥 Bit thanks to Roel Smolders, who helped create this White Paper, along with the support of Liz Renzaglia, Isabelle Francois, Johan Lecocq and Ann Van Gysel! 💪 If you're interested in learning about the tasks and challenges of hospital Innovation Managers, and how companies can work together with hospitals for more collaborative health innovation (especially in #medtech, #healthtech, and #digitalhealth) download the White Paper for free via this link:

Do you have or work with health and care focused #innovations? Do you want to learn how to overcome barriers that can prevent the adoption and success of these innovations? The road from idea to commercialisation can be filled with speed bumps, diversions, green lights, red lights, and ‘turn around when possible’ situations. Join us for an exciting evening of discussion with four innovators who have learnt from their experiences and can now pass on how they navigated this sometimes unpredictable road. The innovators presenting represent a variety of working backgrounds, products, and barriers experienced whilst developing their innovations in the health and care landscape. Themes will include the development of health tech, meeting regulations, market access, and adapting your product to meet the needs of the demand. In addition to hearing the innovator perspective, we will also be sharing how we can support innovators to overcome barriers and steer the course from idea to adoption. There will be opportunity to pose your questions to the panel of innovators and the Health Innovation Wessex team during our Q&A session. This is a fantastic opportunity for innovators and those in the health setting to learn from each other to aid the adoption of innovation in health and care. We look forward to seeing you there!

According to the latest report from the World Economic Forum, the collaboration between public and private sectors is crucial in advancing HealthTech globally. Currently, only 15-20% of healthcare initiatives involve private sector leaders, highlighting a significant gap in leveraging digital health’s full potential. Partnerships initiated by public agencies, multilateral organisations, and academia are key in propelling the digital health sector forward. The success of healthcare initiatives depends on digital maturity and addressing specific challenges within each country. Stakeholders need to embrace public-private collaborations for creating a cohesive global digital health ecosystem that is universally accessible and effective. This collaborative effort is essential for bridging the gap between potential and reality, fostering a healthier and more connected world through innovative HealthTech solutions. AINQA is dedicated to advancing digital health through partnerships with public entities, contributing to a future where HealthTech transcends borders and positively impacts communities worldwide.

Take a moment to read, digest and support the extremely comprehensive Manifesto from the ABHI on the Plan for HealthTech in the UK. Think of it not just through the lens of an industry partner, but as a healthcare user, at some point, we or our loved ones become patients. Plan for HealthTech outlines the essential steps to make the UK a HealthTech global leader. With a focus on regulation, innovation, and investment. It’s a collective vision born out of extensive collaboration with many different stakeholders, all driving towards one thing, a world class healthcare system, one that drives and stimulates economic growth, but more than anything, improves access and patient care. #PlanForHealthTech
