Our goals
with smartXhealth
Networking players
smartXhealth creates spaces for interdisciplinary exchange and co-creation through targeted formats such as ideation workshops, hackathons and scouting sessions. In this way, we bring together the key players for the healthcare of tomorrow in an environment that allows us to think outside the box.
Innovating together
We provide targeted support to companies, researchers, clinics and other stakeholders, to develop effective solutions for patients.
Strengthening the region
We want to make our region a beacon project for the healthcare industry and a magnet for talented innovators.
Improving and networking care
Patients benefit from smartXhealth through faster access to innovative diagnostic and therapeutic procedures based on the latest scientific findings. At the same time, cross-sector networking improves coordination along the entire treatment pathway - for greater transparency, safety and quality of life.
Relieve the burden and reduce costs
Digital solutions reduce the administrative workload in healthcare facilities and lower the error rate. Automated processes relieve the burden on staff, leaving more time for patient care. Less documentation work and optimised workflows reduce operating costs and improve resource utilisation. Faster and more accurate data processing enables more efficient processing of patient cases.
Advancing the translation of research
Digital platforms accelerate the transition of research results into practice and onto the market. Better networking creates partnerships between research institutions, companies and investors, which facilitates access to resources and capital. This collaboration shortens development times and leads to innovative products and treatments reaching the market more quickly.
