Health2B Open: Digital solutions – testing opportunities in Norway today

What is the workshop about?

The testing landscape for digital health solutions is evolving – and we need voices from across the sector to help shape its future. Through short presentations, concrete cases and a joint workshop, participants will gain insight into current testing opportunities in Norway, including:

• product development and early-stage testing
• synthetic data
• clinical studies
• testing prior to implementation

The workshop and discussion sessions will highlight which needs are currently being met – and which needs are likely to shape the testing landscape going forward – to ensure that digital health solutions have access to the infrastructure and environments required for effective and safe testing.

Who is the workshop for?

We particularly welcome participation from:

• small and large technology companies and providers of digital health solutions
• public and private testing facilities
• innovation environments, clusters and R&D organisations
• others working with or within the health technology testing landscape

Whether you represent a small start-up or a well-established organisation, your experience and perspective are valuable. The goal is to ensure that testing services address real needs – today and in the future.
