Sanofi, Capgemini, Generali and Orange have announced the creation of a joint venture to launch Future4care, Europe’s only health-focused start-up accelerator programme. The objective is to stimulate the development of e-health solutions and their go-to-market, for the benefit of both patients and health professionals.
Healthcare providers, together with researchers and academics, who drive the success of digital health projects, will be fully integrated into this initiative including hospitals, healthcare institutions, higher education institutions, universities and patient associations.
The start-up selection process is based on two routes: either applications in response to a specific call for projects or a spontaneous application. The first call for projects will be launched in September 2021 around two themes: virtual care using digital tools and personalised care (from diagnosis to treatment).
Future4care is a unique open-innovation ecosystem in Europe. It is both a start-up accelerator and an Institute providing content on digital health and delivering reference certifications.
