There are still three billion people with low or basic coverage of essential health services globally. Our goal is to enable access to affordable and quality healthcare for everyone, everywhere. This is a broad concept that encompasses wide range of topics.

We are looking for simple, affordable solutions and services that work in resource-constrained environments, which:

• Enable more underserved communities to access different medical tests to enable screening, early diagnosis and therapy for non-communicable, chronic, acute diseases especially oncology as well as cardiovascular and neurological conditions. Medical tests include procedures such as in-vitro point of care and lab tests as well as diagnostic imaging.
• Facilitate remote patient care and the secure exchange of health information including patient symptoms, test results, reports, scans etc., among healthcare providers and patients.
• Shift care to decentralized care (primary care center , mobile centers, home setting, city hospitals etc.)
• Empower healthcare workers to effectively treat and manage patients by
  • Stratifying risks and determining the right care at the right time
  • Simplifying routine tasks of healthcare workers
  • Upskilling healthcare workers through training and education
• Address any other pain points

Technology Enablers:

Staff shortages, increased labor costs, and increased demand are some of the biggest challenges healthcare providers are facing today.

We are looking for services and solutions that enable providers to better serve more patients by:

• Streamlining and optimizing hospital workflows such as patient registration, scheduling, reminders, navigation, admission, discharge, transfer, and payment. 
• Optimizing lab and radiology department operations to improve utilization, reducing variability, enabling timely and accurate results, and lowering operating costs.
• Improving productivity with solutions that eliminate or minimize repetitive tasks such as reporting to help healthcare staff maximize time to focus on challenging tasks and avoid staff burnout.

Technology enablers:

Fluoroscopic imaging is globally used for a variety of procedures that include swallow examinations, arthrography, upper and lower bowel examinations, uroscopy (bladder, kidney, ureter). We are looking for smart solutions that enhance fluoroscopic imaging and support the radiologist and radiographer in handling the system and diagnosing the patient.

We are looking for:

• Intelligent support for X-ray acquisition: collimation, X-ray dose adaption, system positioning etc. according to anatomical structures and clinical question
• Adding diagnostic value to the X-ray images during the fluoroscopic procedure through identification of abnormalities, anatomical measurements, anatomical segmentation etc.
• Automation of IT: smart handling of DICOM images, new ways of archiving (since not all clinics have a picture archiving communication system (PACS) installed)
• User and patient experience: solutions to make the procedure for user and patient as comfortable and as easy as possible, since fluoroscopic procedures are often complex, time-consuming, and painful.
