We mobilize broad partnerships that future-proof Denmark's entire healthcare system

Why?
Our purpose is to contribute to solving the major challenges facing the healthcare system and to create a future-proof healthcare system.

How? 
We mobilize broad and cross-functional partnerships to develop new scalable solutions to the major challenges facing healthcare.

What?
As an impartial national actor, we work to establish broad public-private partnerships that build capacity for innovation in hospitals, municipalities and the companies they collaborate with

Our 3 unique aspects

We have a systematic process for creating valuable partnerships.

We work systematically to identify the most important challenges in the healthcare sector and to mature the companies that can help solve them. This includes a systematic framework for collaboration, testing and evaluations that are adapted to the individual partnerships.
Our approach provides the best conditions for implementing and scaling innovative solutions

Ongoing knowledge sharing that builds innovation capacity.

We continuously share what we do and learn in our partnerships. This way, as many hospitals, municipalities and companies as possible, can work with innovation for the benefit of the entire ecosystem in and around the healthcare sector.

1:1 relationships and broad networks:

We are closely connected with the companies through continuous 1:1 consulting and with the staff at hospitals and municipalities.
Relationships are a key word in our approach to innovation. We find solutions to the needs of the healthcare sector in our partnerships through strong 1:1 relationships with our partners and broad networks between our partners – municipalities, hospitals and companies

Companies

We help companies of all sizes, that already have prototypes, to screen and qualify their healthcare solutions so they can test their solutions at our partner hospital and parter municipalities. Our task is to facilitate a test process that creates documentation, value proposition and possibilities for implementation of their innovative health solution.

 

Hospitals & Municipalities

We collaborate with innovative and collaborative hospitals and municipalities that are involved in improving healthcare with dedicated resources – both at management level and with innovation consultants.

At these hospitals and municipalities, we facilitate test runs of the companies’ solutions – in close collaboration with healthcare professionals and innovation consultants.

Nordic Health Lab matches hospitals’ needs assessments with innovative solutions from private companies

 

It is crucial for us to understand the innovation needs of our partner hospitals. Therefore, we engage in a process where we identify various needs together with the hospitals’ innovation consultants, department heads and hospital management.

In this way, we can:

– Ensure that we match companies’ innovative solutions with the actual needs of the hospitals.

 

– Identify cross-cutting development needs that innovation hubs and the healthcare industry can develop new solutions for.

 

 

Thus, we can present a range of different needs that – to a greater or lesser extent – cut across our partner hospitals. Solutions addressing these needs will therefore be in demand both across hospitals and across multiple regions.

The identified needs are not an exhaustive list, but they provide an overview of some of the needs we have identified in collaboration with our partner hospitals and find relevant to share with those working on future solutions.

We facilitate test runs
Test runs at hospitals and municipalities

We ensure that solutions are tested, realized, documented and aimed at implementation.

One of our goals is to increase the value of companies after they have tested, improved and co-created their solution in a professional healthcare environment.

We have facilitated test runs for – or trained – companies with innovative solutions such as:

Partnerships

Partnerships

We mobilize broad and cross-cutting partnerships of new scalable solutions to the major challenges of healthcare.

The partnerships create value on several levels:

  • Improve the healthcare system through development, testing, and implementation of new innovative solutions to key problems

  • Provide private companies, especially start-ups, access to new public markets, strengthening their competitiveness

  • Ensure that problems and solutions meet

  • Create connections across and between involved actors — locally and centrally, regionally and across sectors

  • Translate ideas and knowledge into action

  • Ensure that resources spent on testing create results and value

Nordic Health Lab focuses on sustainable healthcare
Our focus is on economic, social and environmental sustainability

 

Our population is growing while we live longer. At the same time many people have chronic diseases. Consequently, the healthcare system must take care of more citizens but without enough resources available. That puts tremendous pressure on the healthcare service. Therefore, more public-private partnerships are needed to create new, radical health solutions for the benefit of all.
This way, we create the best sustainable health solutions.

We divide sustainable health solutions into three parts:

Health@Home

Solutions that enable treatment and monitoring of citizens in their homes.

Prevention

Solutions that ensure early acknowledgement of disseases and that increase the chances of​ timely handling.

User Experience
Solutions improving the experience for citizens, patients, staff and relatives.

Nordic Health Lab hosts international delegations

We have hosted Canadian delegations including ministers and hospital directors who have come to learn more about our take on healthcare solutions. In these events, we have learned that we share the same challenges in the healthcare systems across the Atlantic which gives excellent reasons to continue our international collaboration.
