More and more e-health solutions are implemented on the market - both by large companies and start-ups. Questions regarding the best ways to develop innovation in this sector will be addressed to people representing universities, acceleration programs, entities regulating the entry of these solutions on the market and the creators of these solutions themselves. We will consider the difficulties faced by creators in the development of their projects and how they can be remedied, as well as what real benefits the recipients, i.e. patients, have from using verified e-health solutions. Discussed topics will relate to:

  • how to plan a project well to maximize its success,
  • what acceleration programs do,
  • discussing the development path of a medical start-up,
  • what are the health benefits of developing startups,
  • experiences from the evaluation of medtech projects,
  • what are the risks and how can they be minimized,
  • around what values are startups built.
