Investment opportunities in the Swedish biotech and digital health arena are provided. Our efforts include identifying and promoting investment prospects, facilitating networking opportunities, and supporting the growth of innovative companies in these sectors. By creating a supportive ecosystem, we aim to drive advancements in healthcare and digital health technologies, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes and economic growth.
Healthdata and governmental affairs
In the realm of Healthdata, we have led several key initiatives aimed at leveraging data as a competitive asset and catalyzing innovation. One of our significant projects was the creation of the foundations of a Marketplace for data to enable businesses to create and capture value utilizing data. This initiative involved rallying collaboration partners from various sectors, including academia, education, and industry, to achieve a common vision of non-competitive data sharing and ecosystem building.
In addition, we have driven efforts to optimize information-driven healthcare. Recognizing the future demands on healthcare due to changing demographics, we have focused on utilizing digitalization to support all levels of healthcare. Our initiatives have aimed at creating more efficient care processes, increasing patient involvement, enabling early detection of health issues, and providing faster and more accurate diagnoses through digital decision support.
We have also worked on reducing administrative tasks and opening new research opportunities by automating routine tasks and making health data accessible. In the area of governmental affairs, we have been instrumental in positioning organizations within key strategic alliances and fostering partnerships that support innovation. Our efforts included driving IT initiatives that required multi cross-functional governance and networking within the ecosystem to position IT departments as the preferred partner of choice. We also supported the Governmental Affairs in positioning organization within strategic alliances, contributing to the broader objectives of how pharma business development and innovation units operates.
Femtech Innovation – Hack Her Health
Spearheading the HackHERHealth initiative to address the significant gender disparities in healthcare, a must to drive innovation! Recognizing that women represent only 41% of clinical trial participants, aiming to bridge the gap in gender-specific healthcare. Historically, medical solutions and devices have been designed based on male physiology, leading to increased risks and decreased effectiveness for women. Women face a 50-75% higher risk of adverse drug reactions and unique challenges in cardiovascular disease, underscoring the need for tailored medical research and treatment approaches specific to women’s health.
Under my leadership, the initiative focused on various challenges such as neurodiversity, endometriosis, obesity, and more. Working closely with the team to define and prioritize these challenges, ensuring that we developed effective solutions.
