Goals in the healthcare innovation network
| Goals | Emphases | Data examples |
|---|---|---|
| Faster innovation | Public service | You cannot turn off technology, people continue to use it and we need a public sector that is able to adopt and implement new technologies faster than what we do today. (head of innovation, technology and e-health) |
| Treatment effectiveness | [We] do social economical studies, look at the quality-of-life improvements…there are studies running to do that, economical studies to see the cost benefit analysis and to see if this additional treatment or technology improves the outcomes. (special advisor) | |
| Commercialization | The startups don’t put spot on the commercialization at the beginning, and it’s a bad thing because then they don’t make a sustainable product that can earn its own money. (CEO and partner) | |
| Increasing market fairness | Healthcare outcome | We want to create easy access for the companies into the Nordic healthcare systems. Easy access to get the product tested because we also want to get more good products into the healthcare system in all the countries that need those. (CEO and partner) |
| Company outcome | Big companies with huge budgets [get] through the gates quite easily compared to the smaller companies who don’t have the financial support, as well as advisors and protocols and preparation for everything that is necessary … stopping a lot of innovation because we don’t have a lot of support. (special advisor) | |
| Transparent support system | Guidance over the process | The more we can make public, on how it works, doing business with the public sector, then getting into testing, the better. Because it is like a very dense Forest and people get lost. (innovation manager) |
| Coordinated testing | We need to do more test cases in collaboration with each other to find out how we can test the solutions in different countries. (testbed coordinator) | |
| New collaboration opportunities | Solving local problems | When you participate, there is this gain [in relation to local problems lacking technological solutions], because there could be interesting new technologies available and interesting new cases. (testing and innovations manager) |
| Widening innovation networks | We’re trying to find people who are into innovative ideas and try to build that network using those partners. (business advisor) | |
| Learning about the market | It’s interesting to have this good touch with things that are happening in the market…important input to how is the healthcare market developing, what should we expect to happen in the next years. (head of innovation, technology and e-health) |
