HAJIME: do it lean!
The eHealth Hub gave us the opportunity to develop a real clinical business
model. Sylvie and Pascal were really helpful and shared naturally their
network with us with the aim of getting the best way to build our solution and
how to find the customers. We are very thankful to them.

HAJIME AI Quentin Pedron, CPO www.hajime-ai.fr France
Business Model Clinic and Lean Startup Academy [2018]. “eHealth HUB
gave us good reflections points. They helped us to find a good way to launch
the product using the lean and customer development methodologies.
As a first step, we established a clear view of the market (actors,
quantification of the segments). We explored the competition, opportunities
and threats. In June, we attended Bucarest Lean startup Academy where we
set up a new strategy focusing on CRO, pharma companies and patients
with a questionnaire to evaluate problems more in-depth and strengthen
Hajime value proposition based on a rigorous approach of market needs.
The eHealth HUB team supported and motivated us while providing
excellent feedback from their strong experience and network in the
European health sector. We felt comfortable to share all the doubts we had
about the value proposition of our products.”
The solution has a huge potential for a big marketplace. However, we
needed to remain focused on the positioning of the solution and explore the
best opportunities to enter the market. We were then looking for a business
model, we needed to target the right customer. Was it the patients? Was it
the pharmaceutical laboratories? We were lost on this topic. Besides,
Hajime needed to get more feedback from the market and patients
especially.

i4LIFE: finding a business model for healthy ageing products
eHealthHub is a reference collaborative site for startups in the eHealth field.
Being part of it accelerated our business not only in a commercial way but
also in a technical way, as it made us aware of the necessary improvements to
consider in our products. Special mention should be made to TICBiomed.

i4life Marián Garcia, founder and COO www.i4life.es Spain
Business Model Clinic and Lean Startup Academy [2018-2019]. “eHealth
HUB helped us with an intensive course on Lean Startup, followed by more
than 100 interviews with potential customers in order to know the real
interest of the market in our product. Besides, we were selected to an event
[Lean Startup Academy] with +20 experts on e-Health where we pitched nad
network. As a consequence, we have been in touch with some of these
experts until now. We even had a mentoring project with one of the experts,
Juan Pedro Benítez and we have also incorporated another one as a
relevant Advisor in our Board: Pilar Fernández Hermida.
Thanks to them we participated in SEMERGEN congress where we had the
opportunity to meet GPs and we are still working in collaboration with them.
Our products were considerably improved by their advices and comments
(again, Lean Design was crucial here). Besides, we have contacted privacy
and CE marking experts through the eHealth HUB platform.”
We were starting as a company with a solution: a walking stick for people
suffering Parkinson’s Disease. The walking stick is connected to an app for
patients and physicians. We were looking for designing a business model as
our experience with users showed that the connected walking stick was a
good and helpful product. We were new in the e-Health field, so it was an
awesome chance to contact with main stakeholders. We also knew about
Lean Startup Approach but only in a theoretical way.

I4life was founded to thank the elderly for all they have done for us. Our core

“If I have to highlight some learnings the first one will be the Lean Startup
Approach. It requires a big effort but it is a worthy task, as you start selling your
product from the very beginning. Another learning is how to overcome the
interviews with potential customers, in order to extract reliable answers and
how to consider them to improve the product. A third learning is that our
Canvas cares. It can be really helpful to understand your own company.”

OUIWIN: giving a twist to their business model
I have been free to share all the doubts I had about the value proposition of
my Startup without judgement. I have received excellent feedback and advice,
which helped me go deeper in my business model. After each session I felt
truly supported and motivated by eHealth Hub Team thanks to their strong
experience and network in the eHealth ecosystem.

OUIWIN Emilie Jacquetton, CEO and founder www.ouiwin.com Spain

“I received a strong and constructive feedback about my business plan and
possible new target segments to explore. eHealth Hub Team connected me
with experienced and relevant actors I could learn from. The team listened to
my needs, and thanks to their deep knowledge of the sector, they really
helped me align my strategy. Thanks to the exercises and homework the
team gave me, I discovered new alliance partners with whom I’m working
today.
Thanks to this program, I also had the opportunity to participate in the
organization of a patient focused event where I moderated conversations
between patients in a world café format. It allowed me to increase my
network and gain visibility for my project in front of a relevant crowd.”

“As entrepreneur, it’s very valuable to receive feedbacks from someone
external to the project to get a fresh vision on it and open our eyes and
mind on new possible paths that we didn’t consider previously. It’s even
more valuable to receive those feedbacks from experts from the field.
The format used by eHealth Hub – make assumptions together, go and
validate (or invalidate) those hypotheses and produce clear deliverables
for the next session is really motivating. Having coaches to report to and
deadlines to do so is a booster to thrive and surpass ourselves.”

WINNOV: refining the business model
eHealth Hub provided us with a tremendous help in our company's development,
it gave us the chance to access Sylvie and Pascal's expertise that would typically
be out of the reach of an SME. They pushed us to challenge ourselves to
excellence, contributed in structuring our approach to significantly increase our
chances of raising funds necessary to the company's long-term success.

WINNOV Luc Vialard, President www.c-diet.com France
Business Model Clinic and Lean Startup Academy [2018]. “We received
guidance to produce a very efficient, visual investors deck that helped us
raise interest from partners and investors.
We got feedback from international experts with a strong experience with
our potential partner organizations. We analyzed case studies from different
markets (outside France)
We also received training to perform the presentation, with challenging
questions and preparation to include investors' point of view and
expectations in our approach
Finally, we accessed Sylvie and Pascal's great experience and network.”
The company had no experience in raising funds from institutional investors
and had several blind spots regarding valuation strategies. The company's
service is quite complex, and we obviously needed a very sharp and to the
point dissemination and marketing documents to raise attention and start
the conversation with high profile partners. We had to further refine the
business model and revenue structure to prove the company's sustainability
to get partners commitment in funding the project.

Winnov develops its own digital healthcare solutions with a specific focus on
