ONE MISSION’s Post

A motivated cohort of digital health innovators from Graz – HerzensApp GmbH, Probando, Opus Novo GmbH & Predicting Health – made their mark at the Digital Health Ljubljana Conference 2024. It wasn't just an opportunity to showcase their products; it was a vibrant exchange of ideas and a chance to connect with the like-minded digital health community in Ljubljana and Start-ups from across Europe. I would sum up the presentations and the talks in a way that we stand just at the beginning of a transformative era in health and technology. The synergy of health and data holds definitely potential, along with its fair share of challenges. Enabling interfaces between data silos to make the use of clinical and patient-related data possible, perfect user experience, and dealing with concerns from users are some important topics. And of course the challenges of a long-grown established health system that is somehow hard to innovate. Yet, the journey is as promising as it is crucial – and there is a lot of pressure on the public health systems so we have to put our coins on innovation with the ultimate beneficiaries being the patients and the health system at large (a lot of chances for health tech entrepreneurs). Thank you Technology Park Ljubljana and especially Rebeka Zerovnik and Monika Cvetkov, for organizing it. See you soon in Graz, maybe at the HTH Styria (https://hth-styria.at/) in April organized by Human.technology Styria GmbH or at the Fifteen Seconds in June, where we will host a lot of innovators from the URBAN TECH Project                             with Pascal Mülner Manuel L.

Vertical’s CEO Kenneth Salonius recently had the privilege to be interviewed by Yle about shedding light on the challenges and opportunities within the Finnish health tech industry. Here are some key takeaways from the insightful conversation: ⭐ Global uncertainties and rising interest rates are impacting health tech startups, hindering progress despite increased healthcare needs. ⭐ High interest rates are stifling funding, leading to a decline in new health tech startups and limiting innovation in Finnish healthcare. ⭐ Finland's status as a net exporter of health technology is not fully leveraged. Kenneth emphasizes the need to enable Finnish companies to showcase their products globally. At Vertical, we're committed to driving innovation in health tech. Let's shape a healthier and more connected future together! Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dUSgVm8K #HealthTech #Innovation #FinnishHealthcare

The innovation economy and, more specifically, the life sciences industry in New Jersey are booming. Earlier this month, BioNJ held their 31st Annual Dinner Meeting & Innovation Celebration. President and CEO of BioNJ, Debbie Hart, noted that this year's event set records for attendance, indicative of industry's and economy's momentum. HELIX NJ was a focal point for Governor Murphy as he stated: “In short, we are rolling out the welcoming mat for any entrepreneur eager to revolutionize health care. And it goes without saying they will be in great company within the halls of hubs like the HELIX. In fact, in December, we received word that the legendary Bell Labs will be relocating from its home up in Murray Hill to a new facility at the Helix. And that outcome, by the way, was far from a sure thing. In fact, Bell Labs looked all over the country for their new home. But all roads lead them back to New Jersey. Why? Because the smartest minds know that the future is being built right here in the Garden State. And that is a fact. And that is not just because of our highly talented workforce, although it is comprised of more scientists and engineers per square mile than anywhere else in the world. It is not just because of our coveted location, either – even though, we are smack dab in the middle of the Northeast Corridor. Today, New Jersey is building the future because we are embracing the spirit of collaboration that has always paved the way for groundbreaking discoveries.” Read more from NJBIZ: https://lnkd.in/eGUEm3tp Photo via BioNJ
