Healthcare Innovation World Cup® at MEDICA

The Internet of Things is transforming the healthcare industry

Transforming healthcare through the Internet of Things!

Technology-driven innovations have brought great benefits to society and are reshaping healthcare in multiple ways. By 2030, healthcare will be centered on patients empowered to prevent diseases rather than seek treatment. All of this will be enabled by data and provided within a healthcare system that is organized and regulated in an entirely new way. For 15 years the Innovation World Cup® Series has been the catalyst of health innovations worldwide. And for many innovators the Innovation World Cup® has been an important milestone to successfully scaling up their businesses and gain worldwide visibility.

The Healthcare Innovation World Cup® is looking for the next generation of smart health devices, medical wearables, digital biomarkers, electroceuticals, intelligent patches, and more. HealthTech and MedTech innovators worldwide are invited to take part.
