Utifrån den nyligen publicerade Life Science-Barometern 2025 (rapport från SwedenBIO), gör vi ett nedslag i svensk life science industri för att belysa var industrin står och hur samverkan kan driva utvecklingen av e-hälsa och svensk sjukvård vidare. 

Cancerfonden har satsat 16 miljarder kronor på att möjliggöra banbrytande forskning. För att få forskningsresultaten att nå patienterna krävs steg för att omvandla dem till spridnings- och implementerbara lösningar. I samarbete med det nationella Vinnovafinansierade projektet Siish gör Cancerfonden en satsning för att stimulera det steget genom att utlysa medel i ett implementeringsprogram. Under denna föreläsning delas lärdomar från pilotversionen av programmet.

Projektet IoT Implementering presenterar forskning om hinder och framgångsfaktorer för hur regioner och kommuner kan arbeta för att möjliggöra användande av IoT-lösningar inom vård och omsorg. Forskare och praktiker delar med sig av senaste rön och bjuder på snacks å bubbel. Vi bjuder också in till samtal om vad forskningsresultaten skulle kunna betyda för dig.  Välkomna! 
Medverkande: Rättviks kommun, Falun kommun, Region Dalarna, Högskolan Dalarna, Dalarna Science Park, Uppsala universitet och IoT Sweden 

Samverkan pekas ofta ut som en nödvändighet för att kunna lösa de stora utmaningar hälso- & sjukvården står inför, men det är sällan vi ser det bli verklighet. I de fall det faktiskt sker är det ofta tillfälligt och kortsiktigt. Under 2024 signerade Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset och AstraZeneca ett strategiskt partnerskap med långsiktiga ambitioner. Ta del av konkreta exempel på värden som kan uppstå när starka aktörer från olika delar av vårdens ekosystem väljer att hjälpas åt att dra åt samma håll!

Inom den akademiska forskningen skapas många potentiellt värdeskapande digitala lösningar som om de tas vidare skulle kunna skapa stor nytta för både patienter och hälso- och sjukvård. För att den forskningsbaserade lösningen ska bli tillämpbar krävs arbete, så kallat nyttiggörande. Här hjälper universitetens innovationskontor till och i den här föreläsningen belyser vi möjligheter och utmaningar med processen.  

En samlad bild presenteras av behovet att ta fram en process för utveckling och tillgängliggörande av kvalitetssäkrade hälsoappar som bland annat syftar till att tydliggöra vilka krav och regelverk som gäller och vilka hälsoappar som är tillförlitliga att använda, samt öka potentialen i hälsoappars utnyttjande.

The EU MDR imposes rigorous requirements on Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) to ensure patient safety, as well as quality and effectiveness of the medical device. How can developers of SaMD navigate the complexities of MDR compliance while maintaining innovation? By understanding the regulatory landscape and integrating practical strategies, manufacturers can accelerate compliance, foster innovation, and contribute to sustainable, patient-centered healthcare. This presentation explores the key challenges of MDR compliance for SaMD and offers best practices and real-world examples to streamline the regulatory process.

The presentation will explore the methods and standards for generating clinical evidence to validate the safety, efficacy, and effectiveness of mobile health apps. It will cover key regulatory requirements, study design approaches based on a case study of successful clinical validation, offering insights into achieving acceptance in healthcare systems and reimbursement pathways.
