Nordic Proof is a network of 12 leading hospitals, municipalities and universities working together to make testing and clinical studies more accessible for health tech companies. In this online event we will share knowledge and set up meetings between Nordic health care providers and companies to explore clinical testing.
Part 1: Knowledge sharing (10:00–11:00)
For the first part of the event you will hear from three of our partners – SmartCareLab, Aarhus Municipality and Active Life Lab – who work hands-on with testing and validating new solutions. Through concrete case examples, they will share how test projects are set up in collaboration with the health care service, what kinds of facilities and environments are available for testing, and how this approach accelerates innovation while ensuring solutions are fit for real-world use.
