Innovation is about developing and introducing new and better products and services, but also about improvements in the business in the form of better and more cost-effective processes, organisational solutions and patient flow.
Demographic changes, advancements in treatment methods and technology, along with rising costs, necessitate continuous development and improvement of healthcare services. Innovation is a crucial key to reducing the growing gap between resources and needs in the future healthcare system. You can find more information about individual projects at the Idea Submission.
