What would it look like for your organization if we had seamless, integrated Nordic health data 2030?

In January 2022 we will deep dive into how the Nordic region and the global SDGs could benefit from integrated Nordic Health data.

The digitization of the society is moving rapidly, not least in the healthcare sector. We believe that not only hospitals and the life science industry, but also other connected industries like Clean Tech, ICT and other sectors could benefit a lot from access to health data. The advantages span from more effective healthcare, more specialized Med Tech solutions to fulfilling the Global sustainable development goals.

This workshop will be a collective exercise where we together try to envision how this could look like. There will be speakers setting the stage, but also open discussion for those who want to share their thoughts. Take this opportunity to contribute and influence how the future will look like in this important field!

This webinar/workshop is a part of a Nordic Innovation project managed by a Nordic consortium focusing on sustainable healthcare innovation in relation to SDGs, Nordic integrated health data, healthcare providers, life science industry and other related industries.

Health data, and access to it, is of great importance for the life science industry and for healthcare at large. But there are many other industries that could benefit from better access to health data, such as:

• Cleantech companies with solutions for hospitals – it could be energy data linked to certain procedures or patient categories, prescription data that a wastewater treatment plant could use for better understanding, data on patient travel for logistic companies and much more.
• Telecom industry with apps, wearables and other systems that could or should be linked with other types of health data.
• Insurance companies that better could analyze risks and possibilities
• ICT companies that could use data for new innovations.
• Organizations working with circular solutions that need access to data to understand, validate, control and develop truly circular solutions.
• And many more industries.

To better understand how companies and other organizations could, and how, benefit from access to Nordic health data this webinar is interactive, and we need your input!

This webinar/workshop is a part of a Nordic Innovation project managed by a Nordic consortium focusing on sustainable healthcare innovation in relation to SDGs, Nordic integrated health data, healthcare providers, life science industry and other related industries. 

Together, we will be envisioning what an innovative and connected Nordic region would look like if health data was shared seamlessly across public-private partnerships in the region. Shared health data plays into the circular economy, as well as clinical research, clinical trials, treatments, innovation- and development efforts means reduced friction and higher degrees of utilization of expended resources.

We are happy to announce a new project with a Nordic consortia focusing on sustainable healthcare innovation in relation to SDGs, Nordic integrated health data, healthcare providers, life science industry and other related industries. We hope you have the interest and possibility to join us and contribute to this important work at a series of workshops mainly in December.

Together, we will envisioning what an innovative and connected Nordic region would look like if health data was shared seamlessly across public-private partnerships in the region. Shared health data plays into the circular economy, as well as clinical research, clinical trials, treatments, innovation- and development efforts means reduced friction and higher degrees of utilisation of expended resources.

However, innovating for a more sustainable healthcare is not easy - the events bridge the stakeholders in the Nordic ecosystem for Health Tech and healthcare sustainability and allows for knowledge and experience sharing.

The attendee landscape will consist of thought leaders in different aspects of the Health Innovation Ecosystem in the Nordics.

The first workhop November 30 is open to all interested stakeholders, but will mainly focus on the healthcare sector, health providers etc:

We are happy to welcome a new member to Nordic Center for Sustainable Healthcare - InventiAir! 

We let them introduce themselves:

 It´s about how the air moves!

InventiAir has developed its own unique ventilation method which utilizes man's natural inherent thermic to ventilate. It concentrates the air to the places where ventilation is most needed - around the people in the room. Our technology and products provide a better air circulation, cleaner air and an ideal all-round indoor climate. Users get cleaner, fresher air to breath and the air humidity, temperature and CO2-levels can be measured, controlled, and corrected for the best result. At the same time, it´s possible to reduce the power consumption of the ventilation system. 

We regard air as a valuable raw material. Covid-19 has only further highlighted the crucial importance of clean, fresh air and hence some of the benefits of Invent Air’s technology.   

In one hour, a person inhales and exhales around 500 litres of air in a sedentary position. The air we humans exhale contains particles, carbon dioxide and humidity. Some of the particles are harmless residue, while others are viruses and bacteria that can make us and others ill. InventiAir’s unique and effective ventilation system transports the used air away with help of the body´s own thermal energy better than conventional ventilation methods. 

To verify the efficiency of our technology and our products, we conduct many simulations and measurements in our own lab in Bromma, Stockholm. We have also worked together with the University of Gävle to verify the benefits of our solutions. 

Facts: 
InventiAir is a Swedish Greentech company, founded in 2011 with roots in Swedish research and innovation. We care about people´s health and the environment. We are driven by a wish to deliver solutions and products which are innovative, based on experience and practical problem solving. We have deliberately chosen to focus on solutions that can be installed in the end of the ventilation system, close to the users: the humans. We’ve supplied our solutions to more than 900 reference projects.
