eHealth HUB
Through Solution Match, eHealth Hub provides an efficient method and a platform for healthcare providers to scout and connect with European eHealth innovators. eHealth Hub implemented a Solution Match service in collaboration with DOMPÉ who was looking for solutions in the field of nutrition and well-being.
On February 1st 2019, Dompé Pharma executive management and partner eHealth Hub invited 5 start-ups to discuss innovative health solutions to help people adopt healthier eating habits and live better lives. The meeting took place at Dompé headquarters in Milan.
Nutrition is the ultimate area where the 4P medicine (personalized, preventive, predictive and participatory) can transform healthcare and society.
Committed to promoting a healthy culture of wellness, Dompé Pharma wants to empower people to adopt healthier nutrition habits by supporting the development and adoption of innovative solutions. Dompe is looking to partner with entrepreneurs and start-ups proposing an alternative to traditional nutrition approaches (consumption of food substitutes) and offering solutions to monitor people lifestyles and engage them in long-term behavior change.
With the SIDE BY SIDE FOR INNOVATION program and competition, Dompé Pharma offers knowledge, assets and financial support to boost the co-creation process.
The solutions presented during this ‘Solution Match Event’ covered different needs and proposed complementary approaches from plant biotechnologies to artificial intelligence platforms providing personalized nutrition plans. Possible collaboration models between the start-ups and Dompé Pharma were also discussed during the event.
