THE SOLUTION FOR INNOVATORS IN THE SOCIAL AND HEALTH FIELD

Nowadays, there is a disconnection between SMEs from the healthcare sector and end users. This disconnection causes the development of solutions that do not solve real needs of the end-users, and an increase in time and investment to develop solutions that will ultimately reach the market. We created the Healthcare Living Lab Catalonia to bridge the gap between SMEs and entities from the healthcare sector and allow a fast and efficient collaboration to develop and validate innovative solutions.
