The Venture Lab EMEA team, in collaboration with the NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD. Global Smart Health Team, just launched the “Home Health Changing the Paradigm to Improve Patient Care” open innovation challenge with startups out of the unique network from Hello Tomorrow on Thursday, February 17, 2022.
We believe patients should not have to choose between the quality of a hospital and the comfort of their home.
The Venture Lab is committed to bringing improved healthcare to people worldwide, through leading innovation. Our ambition is to create a new “hospital-at-home model”, staying patient-centric.
We are convinced that innovation across the entire healthcare ecosystem holds the key to fully unlock the potential of medical devices and data for improved patient outcomes.
Apply to our program if your solution brings innovation and disruption to one key moment of the patient’s journey at home especially focused on these three areas:
- Respiratory illnesses (improving diagnosis with devices to monitor patients and treat diseases like asthma, COVID-19, or allergies using CO2/O2 detection, oxygen concentrator, cardiac sensors…)
- Elderly care (focused on software/hardware solutions that address any segment of the elderly patient’s journey, from early disease detection to fall detection or treatment adherence, using sensors, ultrasound technologies…)
- Wound care (non-invasive solutions that help early infection detection or improve the capacity for home treatment)
We remain open to other topics regarding home health as long as they remain on the journey of a patient: diagnosis/early disease detection/treatment and monitoring.
What’s in it for you with this program?
- Technical expertise (subject Matter Experts, capabilities on ceramics, ultrasound, cold plasma, sensors, high-tech manufacturing).
- A 3-week acceleration program start a fully financed MVP
- Global footprint (access to sales channels in over 100 countries main markets being US and Asia, boosted by recent acquisition of CAIRE.Inc)
- Strategic Venture Investment (minority investment through our $100M fund and opportunity for M&A through earmarked funds).
