EIT Health:
a powerful alliance for
healthy living and active ageing
Sylvie Bove |Rotterdam | February 25, 2016
WHY?
3
Europe‘s healthcare challenges
Societal changes
• Ageing population
• Downward trend in
birth rates
• Increasing life expectancy
by approx. 4-5 years
per generation
Leading to
 A wider gap between active and inactive
people, reducing the population within the
labour force
 A larger number of older people in long-
term care, e.g. due to cardiovascular
disorders, diabetes or functional loss
 A dramatic increase in expenditures for
health and social care

Editor's Notes

  • #5 We see an average of GDP rising from 6% in 2011 to 9.5% in 2060 in the cost containment scenario and 14% in the cost pressure scenario Examples of cost drivers are: - Increase of chronic diseases - Dementia - Functional loss - co-morbidity
  • #7  Sylvie So coming back to EIT Health, who we are and what we are aiming to do: We have a strong partnership around the triangle of committed, experienced and highly competent partners in both academia, industry (Pharma, medtech, ICT, large and small), research centres, testing labs, incubators and accelerators etc. This is also true in the Innostar region as can be seen on the slide.
  • #8 Sylvie Key message: THE TEAM IS IN PLACE and already producing.
  • #10 What is the fundamental problem we are addressing? -> It is the need to accelerate the paradigm shift that is moving from professional to patient-centric. So instead of asking the question: What is the matter with you?, we should ask: What matters to you? Our portfolio focuses on empowerment and supporting citizen to manage their own health.
  • #11 Our activities fall within our three strategic challenges including the need to address barriers to improving healthcare. These form the backbone of our activities.
  • #13 How do we do it? -> By leveraging the full potential of being one of the largest healthcare initiatives worldwide. In numbers, this means EIT Health has more than 130 leading member organistions from all important healthcare areas, namely industry, public, research and higher eductation. By investing in Europe‘s best entrepreneurial talents and creative minds, EIT Health fosters the development and commercialisation of smart product and service solutions.
  • #15 Sylvie Our vision: Shaping future healthcare for the benefit of our citizen: Integrating technology, patients and professionals Accelerating the development of future health solutions And their implemention
