Today, AOP Health had the opportunity to be part of the IV Working Group Research & Technology at the Austrian Parliament (Parlamentsdirektion). #Specialthanks to AOP Health colleagues Carmen Visus, PhD and Johanna Grames for their preparation and effort! It was an inspiring demonstration of Austria's commitment to becoming a global leader in #innovation and #technology. The meeting highlighted Austria’s strategic vision, emphasizing #digitalization, #AI, #datamanagement, #education, and #research-industry collaboration as pivotal elements for driving #growth and #sustainability. With planned initiatives like the Digitalization Strategy and Artificial Intelligence, Austria is advancing its digital infrastructure, fostering trustworthy AI, and addressing critical labor market needs through programs that attract global talent. Here, a few #highlights: Mag. Florian Frauscher MLS, from the Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy (BMAW), provided a compelling outline of Austria's framework for research, technology, and innovation (RTI). His presentation reinforced Austria’s ambition to strengthen its business environment, advance key technologies, and foster international collaboration. He also emphasized the importance of supporting start-ups, promoting equal opportunities in research, and creating an ecosystem where innovation thrives, positioning Austria as a leading hub for technological and economic resilience.   Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. techn. Christian Ramsauer from Graz University of Technology brought forward tangible examples of R&D collaboration through initiatives which seamlessly bridge academia and industry. His approach demonstrated how innovation ecosystems can foster impactful solutions while equipping the next generation with practical and entrepreneurial skills. The discussions collectively underscored a unified vision for advancing Austria's innovation landscape, driven by collaboration, inclusivity, and sustainability. #aophealth #needssciencetrust #innovation #collaboration #sustainability

🎤 Just wrapped up an energizing JPM Conference! Here are some of the key themes that stood out to me this year:   𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽 𝗱𝗲𝘃 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘇𝘆: The conference buzzed with exploratory M&A talks. We’re seeing PE-backed and late-stage, VC-backed private companies exploring options, while some struggling public companies contemplate going private and spinning off assets. Even Big Tech is sniffing around for opportunities to expand their footprint in healthcare. 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗣𝗢𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗿: After a dry spell, there’s a glimmer of optimism. Speculation is mounting about which companies will go public first (e.g., Hinge? Omada?) as the market is eager for fresh comparables to guide valuations and investment strategies. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: If 2024 was about experimentation, 2025 will be the year of commercialization: AI products are expected to move from pilots to more scaled deployments. A heathy level of optimism and excitement remains for new solutions, but buyers are beginning to scrutinize outcomes and ROI more. It's yet to be seen if new AI companies can charge health systems and payers for their agents at the full value of labor, though we are starting to see real examples of it in life sciences. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀: To avoid a race to the bottom and capture more value, companies in the clinical documentation and scribing space are racing to build more comprehensive solutions, extending their reach both upstream and downstream into broader clinical and administrative workflows. Differentiation is key. 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 & 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵: The “Don’t Die” documentary and funding announcements from companies like Eternal refueled excitement about longevity and holistic health. We had lots of conversations around the food-as-medicine movement as well as cheaper, more comprehensive, and more accessible testing & screening options that can help shift the care paradigm from treatment to prevention.   𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁: The pronounced security presence was impossible to miss. I got within inches of mistakenly making a wrong entrance to one of the marquis hotels and was not so politely warned to try a different one (ha!). Also, large insurers who historically have come to the conference were absent this year, begging the question as to the real reasons why. p.s. As always, it was great to end the conference over dinner with our fellow healthcare & life science investors in the OMERS family (OMERS Private Equity, Oxford Properties Group, OMERS Life Sciences, and OMERS Capital Markets). We had so much to talk about and were having so much fun that we forgot to take a picture! 🙈 cc: Michael Yang Teresa Lee James McGlynn Tycho Suter Hakim Ben Aissa, CFA Geoff Clark Rob Missere, CFA Bernhard Wu

🚀 I'm excited to share the culmination of a cross-Nordic project focused on the sustainability potential of digital health technology. Our comprehensive report, produced in collaboration with Nordic Center for Sustainable Healthcare, Upgraded, Akademias, and Oslo Municipality, dives into the transformative power of digital health in realizing Vision 2030 for Nordic businesses.   📈 The report highlights seven emerging themes crucial for the sustainable development of the Nordic health space: - Improving Interoperability - Mental Health and Well-Being - Personalised Treatments - Telehealth and Decentralised Monitoring - Decentralised Clinical Trials - Sustainability Data Measurement and Transparency Transition to Preventive Care 🌍 By leveraging shared health data, we envision a future where Nordic healthcare is more integrated, sustainable, and innovative. The project engaged over 200 stakeholders through workshops, expert roundtables, and interviews, creating a robust dataset of 112,000 entities in the Nordic healthcare sector.   🤝 This initiative underscores the importance of collaboration across public and private sectors to drive sustainable growth and improved healthcare outcomes.    Let's continue to push the boundaries of innovation and sustainability in healthcare!   📑 Read the full report to explore how digital health technology can shape a sustainable future for Nordic businesses:    https://lnkd.in/e7dfuU4k   #DigitalHealth #Sustainability #Innovation #Healthcare #NordicInnovation #Vision2030 #GreenInnovationGroup #SustainableHealthcare

I just got back to the U.S. from Amsterdam after attending the HLTH Europe conference. The event was truly remarkable, showcasing the future of #health technology and the #innovation driving our industry forward. Here are my top 5 takeaways: 1. International Collaboration: European companies who want to enter the U.S. are keen to partner with U.S. counterparts to navigate the complex American healthcare market. These collaborations are crucial. 2. Market Entry Challenges: Many #startups struggle to identify their buyers in new markets like the U.S. The complexity of the payer-patient-provider system makes it challenging to communicate value to diverse stakeholders and understand who ultimately will pay for the product they have developed. 3. #AI Integration: There's a growing trend to integrate AI into clinical and back-office operations. While the potential is immense, the success of these implementations remains uncertain and requires careful consideration, integration, and execution. 4. Bridging the Technology Divide: Without intentional investment and focus, the technology divide will likely grow. Expanding opportunities to underserved communities to ensure equitable access to healthcare advancements is essential. 5. Healthcare's Small World: The conference highlighted how interconnected our healthcare community is. I reconnected with former students (Lara Zibners MD MMEd MBA, founder of Calla Lilly, colleagues from residency Reza Alavi, MD, MHS, MBA and Alex Mohseni, MD, FACEP, new friends Agata Bielówka, and my good friend Owais Durrani. Our conversations revealed many overlapping professional experiences and collaborations. Healthcare is dynamic, with a non-stop flow of continued learning, collaboration, and opportunity! Excited to see what's next! #HLTH2024 #HealthcareInnovation #AIinHealthcare #GlobalHealth #HealthcareCommunity #PhysicianEntrepreneur ABIG Health Coleen Santa Ana Kelsey McNabb
