Project overview
Enhanced marketability and financing of digital health innovations in CE through strengthened cooperation and improved policies
The health sector is digitalising fast. Innovative solutions are being developed but their market entry or broader application often fails due to structural shortcomings. The DIGIVITALITY project helps health care innovations to enter the health care market faster and to scale up more easily. To do so, the partnership develops a blueprint for smoother collaboration among start-ups, med-techs, hospitals and innovation hubs, which is challenge-driven and based on open innovation.
