d·HEALTH Barcelona Part Time
In October, Biocat launched d·HEALTH Barcelona Part Time, the new talent development program that trains and provides tools for participants to identify an unmet clinical need, create a technological solution that addresses that need and develop a business idea based on that solution.
In October 2022, Biocat opened the application process for the first edition of d·HEALTH Barcelona Part Time, the entrepreneurship program inspired by d·HEALTH Barcelona, which aims to train and provide tools for participants to identify an unmet clinical need, create a technological solution that addresses that need and develop a business idea based on that solution, using the Stanford University biodesign methodology.
The participants in this edition, starting in the first quarter of 2023, will be grouped into multidisciplinary teams of three or four to do a clinical immersion, with support and guidance from experts from the ecosystem, and training to put together their pitch.
One of the most noteworthy aspects of the program is the clinical immersion at four benchmark hospitals in Catalonia. Bellvitge University Hospital (Neurology Unity), Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital (Nephrology Unit), Hospital Universitari Parc Taulí (Oncology Unit) and Vall d’Hebron University Hospital (Rehabilitation Unit) will host students for two weeks so they can identify unmet medical needs.
