Lapland Testbed
Companies gain access to realistic clinical scenarios, testing of monitoring and workflow solutions, and co-development with healthcare professionals.
In the simulation hospitals a solution can be tried out in clinical practice with no risk to patients. Care situations are repeated in a controlled way, which allows workflows to be compared with and without a new solution. Companies receive feedback not only on the device itself but on how it fits the rhythm, hygiene demands, and physical realities of a ward. This environment is part of Lapland Testbed, which coordinates access to testing environments and expertise across Lapland.
