🌟 Entrepreneurship in Healthcare – The Valley of Death Revisited 🌟   Last week as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) Basel the Innovation Office University of Basel together with DayOne - Healthcare Innovation and Personalised Health Basel had the privilege to engage with entrepreneurs in the space of personalized health. Three different entrepreneurs from the local ecosystem shared their journey, the USB explained how to work with hospitals for data and clinician feedback and then 7 new entrepreneurs shared their idea to receive the greatest gift of all - feedback. The journey input showed the diversity of choices and approaches in developing an entrepreneurial solution. Christian Ruiz from Moonlight AI - showed the value of the ecosystem having worked with DayOne, IO and USB to help develop and expand their solution. They are now well on the way on the long journey to prove clinical value.   Sebastian Mathias Keller, PhD from Rekonas - told their story of bootstrapping (thank you innosuisse and friends) to build research based solutions that use EEG as a platform. They are building what could be a suite of applications for the market whilst at the same time contributing research to the field.   Roberto Iannone from Zoundream - shared the challenges of being a startup founder and CEO and also that for all the challenges he wouldn't be anywhere else. Knowing himself well enough to know he wasn’t meant for the corporate world was the beginning of his journey as an entrepreneur. Jens Eckstein and Bram Stieltjes then shared how University Hospital Basel can help you to get data and feedback on your solution to help understand how it can fit into the world of clinicians.   We then had 7 startup pitches asking for support with insights, connections and expert advice. We look forward to hearing how these ideas and startups develop over the coming years. Shoutout to Julian Kempf, Maks Kasprzyk and team for their first pitch outside their course.   Shout out to Swiss EP - Swiss Entrepreneurship Program who bought the global to GEW and their startups from Kosovo and North Macedonia.   🚀 Let’s continue the entrepreneurial spirit in healthcare. 🚀   Ursula Costa Raffaello Ferone Cristina Golfieri Saara Malkamäki #HealthcareInnovation #Entrepreneurship #Collaboration #DayOne

But how can we actually influence how we age healthily? What are the findings from research and what can we learn from communities with exceptionally high numbers of centennials - the so called 'Blue Zones' eg. in Sardinia? 🌏👩🎓 🙋♀️💬 We will discuss these points and questions during the upcoming 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆. We invite you to hear from experts in different disciplines, what we actually know or don't know (yet) about the aging process and hope to unveil some of the mystery behind longevity and healthy aging.

Yesterday, the Innovation Office University of Basel had the privilege of joining the Swiss Re Institute Resilience Summit 2024, masterfully organized by Christoph Nabholz and his team (with a special mention to Kai Zhang). Thanks to the special mix of diverse industries, public and private perspectives and actors, this platform provides a truly unique setting! 🔍 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 WHO ADG Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu highlighted that the need for collective action is more urgent than ever. Disease surveillance systems like the #EIOS are crucial, yet they require global partnerships to make sense of the millions of data points generated daily. It's not just about identifying threats, it's about building sustainable systems that are prepared to act swiftly and equitably. 🧬 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗻 & 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 Swiss Re Natalie Kelly underscored the stagnation of life expectancy in regions like the UK and US, while countries like Japan and China continue to improve. Lifestyle, nutrition, and chronic disease management are key, especially in nations known for strong healthcare systems. Even in Switzerland, with its advanced health infrastructure, metabolic health is an area where public-private partnerships can make a transformative impact. 🔗 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 One of the most thought-provoking discussions revolved around the use of technology to drive health behavior change. From continuous glucose monitoring to more personalized nutrition advice, how can we empower individuals to take control of their health in a meaningful way? If “Amazon knows more about your shoe preferences than a doctor might know about your chemotherapy needs” it's time to bridge this gap for better health outcomes. 🚀 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 We were especially proud to see our SPEARHEAD project take center stage, with Swiss Re as a key partner (Florian Rechfeld).
