DIGIVITALITY
Digivitality is our new international project financed through Interreg Central Europe scheme, focused on digitalization of healthcare industry within CEE region.
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.
Objectives
The DIGIVITALITY project’s main goal is to facilitate the market entry of the digital health innovations. The project aims to improve collaboration among key healthcare stakeholders, including start-ups, MedTech companies, hospitals, and innovation hubs.
DIGIVITALITY will strengthen the capacities of key healthcare innovation ecosystem actors through open innovation training for MedTechs. The project also aims to scout start-ups to develop novel digital health applications through a start-up contest and international pitching event for finalists. DIGIVITALITY will establish a streamlined validation process, including early Health Technology Assessment and test-bed validation process.
The main output of the project will be the Digital Health Innovation Playbook which will guide innovation hubs, hospitals, MedTechs and start-ups on how to most effectively fast-tract their novel digital applications.
Role of SAPIE
Digivitality also fosters the development of public financing options for digital innovations, inspired by the German DiGA scheme.
This is the area where SAPIE will contribute the most by performing status analysis, running stakeholder workshops and proposing policy improvements, leading to formulating a Joint strategy for the uptake of digital solutions into public healtcare system.
