Nordic Innovation is supporting a collaboration project to assist Nordic healthcare companies with accelerated entry to the Canadian market.
Canada’s healthcare system has rising healthcare costs and an growing aging population. Through interviews on the market with Canadian healthcare decision makers, we have found concrete opportunities for Nordic healthcare products and solutions in Canada within the sectors of:
- Hospitals: Opportunities for products or solutions which help with hospital workflow, improve wait times and efficiencies, improve patient safety, medication management, infection control, interconnectivity and data security
- Long term care and retirement homes: increase patient safety, improve connectivity, workflow and access to patient information, better manage food services, improve patient environment and experience, staff training and retention
- Home care: Help provide patient physical and emotional security, increase patient self-care, better communication and information sharing with patient and all care providers
