Innovation Meets Hospital

  • Date: 09 Dec
  • Time: 15:30-18:00

The goal of this session is to narrow the gap between medtech startups and hospitals.

You will pitch your solution to a number of hospitals in the region (Máxima Medisch Centrum, Catharina Ziekenhuis, St. Anna Ziekenhuis en Elkerliek).

During this session, innovation managers from these hospitals will think critically about your proposition and provide answers to questions such as the integration of systems, the collection, storage and use of data, the applicability within hospitals, etc.

The pitch may last about 5/10 minutes and then there will be about 20/25 minutes for questions and discussion. The following points may be covered during the pitch:

  • Explain the organisation: origins, composition, etc.

  • Explain your innovation: description, stage of development, etc.

  • Outline the weakness and risks of your innovation

  • What indicators (quality/cost/workflow/other) are you focusing on?

  • Ask 1 or 2 concrete help questions to the hospitals. Think about connecting need, involving knowledge and expertise, how does it fit, etc.

  • Make an offer. For example, to visit.


Participating hospitals and individuals:

  1. Catharina Ziekenhuis: Jannie Heijman-van Gemert
  2. Máxima Medisch Centrum: Dries Steinmeijer
  3. Elkerliek: Dirk-Jan Willekens or Suzanne de Vries
