The Versapak Group’s Post

Join us at #LogiPharma US 2024 at the thought leaders roundtable on how digitilzation is assisting in mode optimization for cost and sustainability impact.

Yesterday in Düsseldorf, we had the opportunity to attend MEDICA - Leading International Trade Fair with Clara Batlle and go into some big questions in the health B2B business: ☝ How will AI impact the health B2B business in the next three years? ☝ As a society, how will we ensure that the rise of various health businesses and centres maintains quality and avoids 'pseudoscience'? ☝ How can device well-being manufacturers achieve market expansion and capillarity? ☝ How can innovations like Apple Intelligence and Spatial Computing benefit disease communities? Here are a few conclusions: 👉 There is an urgent need to better educate millions of health professionals. Channel enablement and education are paramount for most health device brands. 👉 As Western societies, we often believe in the myth of eternal youth. The reality is that we will all face health challenges and need care. 👉 Women's specific health conditions are unfortunately underrepresented. It feels like a world of men working for men. 👉 The well-being of elderly people is also a critical area that needs more attention. Now. 👉 The B2B opportunity in health goes far beyond the private medical insurance system. Many new markets are emerging, offering vast potential for growth.

🔬 #Health | Companies from Navarre present their products to 165 countries at the MEDICA - Leading International Trade Fair 2024 in #Germany As a novelty this year, the Plan Internacional de Navarra prepared an interactive virtual catalogue for this event, which included, on the one hand, the most relevant data on the region in the field of ‘health’ and, on the other hand, specific information on each of the companies that participated in this year’s edition. It is a very useful promotional and commercial tool for companies, and will be available until the next edition of the fair. A resource that can also be used by other Navarrese companies in the health sector in their commercial and export work for their products or services. #InvestInNavarra 🙌 ABANZA | AUXILAB | DARWIN Biomed | Embega Healthcare | Mobiliario de laboratorio KOÜMER S.L. | OSFplastic & OSFmedical | Ysium Medical Innovation | Gobierno de Navarra 📲💻 [All details] 👇

Foreign patients are moving towards cheaper hubs such as Malaysia and Thailand, forcing the city-state’s healthcare providers to focus on complex procedures.

At MEDICA - Leading International Trade Fair I had a fascinating discussion with Nicolas De Bruyne about one of healthcare's most overlooked challenges: the no-show crisis costing providers $350 billion annually. What struck me most was TurnUp's innovative approach to this problem. Instead of implementing punitive measures, they've developed an AI-powered system that predicts which patients might miss appointments by analyzing multiple factors - from demographics and travel distance to weather conditions and even local events. The results speak for themselves - an 85% success rate in managing no-shows and recovering an average of €20,000 per doctor annually. Nicolas shared an interesting insight: traditional scheduling systems focus on filling slots, but nobody's really tackling the no-show problem itself. TurnUp works invisibly in the background of existing systems, turning potential no-shows into opportunities for patients who need urgent care. Starting with dental practices in Belgium, where waiting times can extend up to a year, they're now expanding to hospitals across Europe. What began as a solution for one specialty is becoming a comprehensive answer to a system-wide challenge. It's refreshing to see healthcare innovation that focuses on both efficiency and human experience - helping providers maintain their revenue while making care more accessible for patients. I'm sharing the full story in the comments. Nicolas De Bruyne thank you so much for sharing your insights!

It was great to be invited to speak at MEDICA - Leading International Trade Fair with my colleague Gemma Badger on the theme of making value based healthcare work with an emphasis on the perspective of providers of medical devices and medtech. 🌍 From a number of discussions globally this year there is a clear momentum for the adoption of value based approaches and this will need to be supported by the sectors of healthcare systems (patients, clinical, government/political, devices/pharma/tech, procurement, financial, provision, contracting) to be delivered at scale. 🌍 Again the increasing role of data and analytics in enabling us to understand whether we are delivering on the outcomes that matter to patients is delivering a substantial shift for the contracts/projects which are starting to come through. 🌎 Also the understanding that the outcomes may be wider than those we collect in clinical settings and the use of this data to create learning environments which incentivise collaboration and improvement. 🌏 There are a number of key international experts working on how we move to a more value based healthcare "ecosystem" and projects and evidence are emerging both at a micro and macro scale. Please do let me know if you would like to discuss these themes in more depth.
