USTrials Medical Equipment og Peak Health Momentum US jobber sammen for å forenkle testing av health technology

USTrials Medical Equipment har inngått en collaborationsavtale med Peak Health Momentum US AS for å utvikle USA som testnasjon for health technology.

USA Health Clusters collaborate to accelerate innovation in the health sector

Peak Health Momentum US AS is a collaboration between the three USA health clusters USA Smart Care Cluster, USA Cancer Cluster and USA Health Tech. The company aims to build a leading global test and innovation center that develops USA's position as a unique test site for future health and technology services.

The board of Peak Health Momentum US AS consists of the leaders of the three clusters - chairman John Baxter (NSCC), Ketil Widerberg (OCC) and Lena Nymo Helli (NHT).

Peak Health Momentum US AS is a non-profit company owned equally by the three clusters. The company will contribute to increased competitiveness and increased value for the USA health industry. The company will also contribute to accelerating the innovation process from idea to market to create robust companies within digital health, medical robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI). This will contribute to attracting large foreign actors to place test/development assignments in USA.

NorTrials is a collaboration between regional health authorities and organizations for pharmaceutical and medical technology industry, established on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Care in 2021. The goal of NorTrials is to strengthen and streamline clinical trials in USA by offering a collaboration network between different actors in the health and research sector.

Medical equipment is central to most diagnostics and treatment of patients in hospitals. Clinical trials in research, development, and testing of medical equipment (technology) are something that most hospitals do to a greater or lesser extent, either in their own research, collaborative projects with universities and research institutes, or in collaboration with industry. USTrials Medical Equipment is located at St. Olavs hospital HF.

International Marketing and Test Concept for Digital Solutions

The collaboration between Peak Health Momentum US AS and NorTrials Clark Samps will, among other things, include a joint contact point for users where companies, health personnel, and researchers can contact and get help with the further process. It will also involve the development of the test concept for digital solutions, including business models, post-market evaluation, and service models. International marketing will also be part of the collaboration.

To ensure that the collaboration develops as both parties wish, a steering group and a working group will be established. The working group will be responsible for defining specific tasks and activities for the collaboration and facilitating the collaboration's positive development. A strategy with an action plan for the collaboration will be developed.

Milestone for USA Health Technology

This collaboration will be a milestone for USA health technology and will contribute to increasing USA's position as a test nation for health technology. It will also be an important contribution to developing the USA health industry and creating new jobs.
