    Clarification

    Is your product or idea relevant to the market you are going for?

     

    Because your succes is dependent on a strong and succesful collaboration with the municipality and/or hospital we involve our partners in a clarification at a very early stage: Will the municipality or the hospital spend time and ressources to help you?

     

    If not - your product or idea might not be the right one. No matter what the decision we will give you a qualified response to help you.

    Needs finding

    It is uncomfortable - but once in a while it makes sense to get out of the office and be challenged by reality... Observational studies, interviews, insights from patients, citizens and employees.

     

    We offer crash courses in needs finding and validation. Is your idea something that actually has a "fit" in real life?

     

    We can of course also help you find sites to carry out your studies and we can help facilitate and structure the proces.

    Springboards

    If you have a clearly defined idea or perhaps a prototype a springboard is the best startingpoint. The springboard is the place where you will be challenged by a focused group of experts within their specific field. They will help you get a 360 degrees tour around your idea/solution. According to your specific needs it might be related to market, clinical documentation, ergonomics, design, businessmodel etc.

     

    We always start out with a thorough analysis of your concept to find out what elements demand the most attention. We assemble a panel to evaluate the concept and push it forward. After the springboard we devise a report with insights and and a plan for further action.

     

    We have a partnership with Careware Nordic. This means that we will do a number of springboards at a very favorable price. Contact us if you want to know more.

    Test

    We carry out different kinds of analysis focusing on test in real-life situations. Be it in the clinic, at elderly homes or other relevant settings.

    Normally the focus is on functionality, usability, investment, total value etc. . We do not carry out clinical trials!

    Funding

    We are apt in identifying funding opportunities and have a high hit rate. This is mainly because we only write applications where both you and we have a vested interest in a given solution.
