Diak Oulu Health Hub cre­ates new oppor­tu­ni­ties for dig­i­tal health inno­va­tion

A new dig­i­tal inno­va­tion and learn­ing envi­ron­ment for the health­care sec­tor is being built in Oulu. The goal is to improve the qual­i­ty of health­care and accel­er­ate the devel­op­ment of new prod­ucts and ser­vices in North­ern Ostro­both­nia.

What’s this all about?

Diak Oulu Health Hub brings togeth­er tech­nol­o­gy com­pa­nies, health­care providers, and edu­ca­tion and research orga­ni­za­tions to devel­op new dig­i­tal health solu­tions. In this devel­op­ment envi­ron­ment, tech­nolo­gies that make ser­vices smoother, safer, and more effi­cient can be co-cre­at­ed, test­ed, and pilot­ed. At the same time, it serves as a learn­ing envi­ron­ment for explor­ing and design­ing new edu­ca­tion­al solu­tions.

For whom?

The Hub serves:

• com­pa­nies devel­op­ing and test­ing new dig­i­tal solu­tions
• stake­hold­ers in health­care and munic­i­pal ser­vices
• edu­ca­tion and research orga­ni­za­tions look­ing for a learn­ing and devel­op­ment envi­ron­ment
• indi­rect­ly, local res­i­dents who ben­e­fit from high­er-qual­i­ty and safer ser­vices

What IS THE GOAL?

• Cross-sec­tor col­lab­o­ra­tion that accel­er­ates inno­va­tion in health­care
• Hands-on oppor­tu­ni­ties for pro­fes­sion­als and stu­dents to devel­op future skills and dig­i­tal solu­tions
• Bet­ter oppor­tu­ni­ties for com­pa­nies to inno­vate and grow their busi­ness­es
• New edu­ca­tion­al solu­tions that uti­lize dig­i­tal learn­ing envi­ron­ments
• A plat­form for devel­op­ing new dig­i­tal solu­tions that improve health­care qual­i­ty and patient safe­ty
• A sus­tain­able oper­at­ing mod­el that strength­ens the region’s dig­i­tal health ecosys­tem
