Salvia
Salvia is a software positioning drugs within formalized knowledge of interactions, biology, medical devices, enzymes and complex protocols to enable dispensing pharmacists, prescribing physicians, nurses, helpers and patients to quickly visualize relevant knowledge for a drug treatment and its environment.
Two dedicated HealthEConnect Pilot students from Nova Business School, have been making significant strides since September helping Salvia Healthcare. Their project focuses on identifying patients needs and developing a comprehensive business plan for the Salvia Patient software. This software aims to help patient access relevant healthcare information relevant for their treatment. Their meticulous research and innovative approach are paving the way for a great input for the success of our project.
Reality Telling
Reality Telling is an innovative start-up dedicated to humanizing care through immersive 360°/VR experiences. Initially born during the COVID-19 pandemic as a volunteer initiative to connect hospitalized patients with their families, it has since evolved into a scientifically validated solution aimed at improving emotional and cognitive well-being. Our mission is to combat isolation and foster reconnection with familiar environments, positively impacting individuals in vulnerable situations, including long-term hospitalized patients, nursing home residents, and elderly individuals with cognitive decline. By combining cutting-edge technology with user-friendly interfaces, Reality Telling enhances quality of life while supporting the work of healthcare professionals by delivering meaningful experiences that reduce patients’ stress and anxiety.
During the internship at Reality Telling, the HealthEConnect Pilot student has been a valuable asset in analyzing potential partners and clients to support our transition towards direct commercialization outside the hospital sector, with a specific focus on the nursing home industry in Spain. He has conducted an in-depth analysis of competitors’ business models, both within Spain and internationally, and identified key stakeholders in the elderly care sector, including tech companies, nursing home groups, professional associations, and patient organizations. Additionally, he has mapped out both large and small nursing home operators with a strong interest in innovation, compiled contact details of relevant decision-makers, and crafted personalized LinkedIn outreach strategies to effectively engage potential partners. His contribution has been very effective and concrete in establishing a solid foundation for expanding our services beyond the hospital setting.
LabToMarket
LabToMarket is a one-stop-shop that helps researchers, startups and clinicians launch their healthcare innovations into the market and supports their growth. By offering services such as strategic advisory, market research, technology transfer, business development and planning, internationalization support and access to funding, LabToMarket has already helped +200 startups and projects across Europe.
Welcoming the students from the MIEI course was a truly enriching experience for LabToMarket, and we believe it was mutually beneficial. It was a privilege to host such motivated students, eager to implement a project with real impact in the healthcare field. On the other hand, the challenge of equipping them with the right tools and guidance to inspire and support the development of a meaningful solution was equally rewarding for our team. The outcome of their work was outstanding, resulting in a tangible solution: a Health Innovation Hub Framework based on international best practices. The students not only met but exceeded expectations by delivering the following work packages: global benchmarking and trend analysis on innovation in health, identification and engagement of KOLs, a business model and implementation strategy for an Innovation Hub, and the creation of a joint framework. This was an experience we highly value and one that reinforces the importance of collaborative initiatives between academia and industry.
