DayOne, le centre d’innovation suisse pour la médecine de précision et la santé numérique de BaselArea.swiss, lance un programme d’accélération avec le soutien de la Fondation Botnar. À présent, les candidatures sont ouvertes aux porteurs d’idées de projet susceptibles d’améliorer le bien-être et la santé des enfants et des adolescents du monde entier.

The program will support teams and individuals who strive to:

• go beyond research and create minimal viable healthcare products and services
• target health Issues with a special focus on pediatrics and/or adolescents
• enable frontline work to deliver better health outcomes
• lower the healthcare costs and be scalable and therefore making their solution suitable for all markets including in emerging countries.

The solutions should embrace a human centric approach focusing on young people and make appropriate use of Digital Technologies (Mobile Apps, AI, Blockchain etc.)

Participants will have the opportunity to drive their project idea forward in a collaborative way engaging with the healthcare innovation ecosystem of the Basel Region. Applicants should therefore be willing to be present in the Basel region and be able to dedicate sufficient personal time to execute on their idea during the six-month period of the DayOne Acceleration Program.
