Research

To assess the potential of new digital solutions and support the transformation of health and social care services.

WHAT WE DO

Expand all

We conduct tailored analyses designed for tech developers, startups, and large companies, like pharma and medtech, eager to understand the market potential of emerging digital solutions, such as AI-based solutions, digital therapeutics, and digital tools to enhance system efficiency and effectiveness. 

We conduct critical reviews of existing policies to identify and address potential hurdles that may impede the adoption and spread of digital innovations in healthcare. 

We examine the factors that either support or hinder organizational acceptance of digital solutions in healthcare, and work to identify change management strategies that enable healthcare providers to maximize the opportunities presented by digital solutions. 

We collaborate in grant-based international consortia funded by the European Commission, WHO or other international funders on projects related to digital health, covering policy analysis, health technology assessment (HTA), implementation research and technological development support activities. 

The LIFT Lab Club: a permanent think tank where, alongside a select group of founding members, we identify and assess cutting-edge digital technologies in human health, evaluating readiness, investment patterns, and policy gaps, while issuing recommendations to guide innovations from concept to real-world application.
