Our commitment
Leap for Life is an innovation centre for information driven care – a place for the pioneers of healthcare. With Leap for Life, we gather partners to collaborate, enable innovation and act as the driving force for change within healthcare – regionally, nationally and internationally.
We all need to rethink
Halland is facing large health challenges. So is Sweden and the rest of the world. Health gaps are increasing, obesity, high blood pressure and mental illness is becoming more common. Healthcare is subject to antibiotics resistance and pandemics.
Since more people live longer – because of medical breakthroughs and better welfare – the need for qualified healthcare increases. The costs will increase substantially.
By using artificial intelligence (AI) we can use data and digital solutions to make intelligent decisions and diagnostics.
Large amounts of health data
Thanks to technical development, large amounts of health data are generated daily – both within healthcare and by other actors. It is everything from information about individual persons’ treatments and health in directories and journals to information about health and lifestyle being gathered in apps and sensors.
Real World Data from the ecosystems of the world can be used for research, but also shines light on important matters like confidentiality, integrity, cyber security and rules and regulations.
Information driven care – where healthcare data meets AI
To manage the challenges that healthcare faces, we need to focus on preventive methods. By using artificial intelligence (AI) we can use data and digital solutions to make intelligent decisions and diagnostics.
At the same time, healthcare needs to implement new ways of working, technology and treatments. And it needs to happen now.
Similar solutions can be used to increase the quality and efficiency in caretaking. By investing in professional development and new welfare technology, everyday life quality improves for both care recipients and care givers.
Information driven care: by learning from the conclusions from using analysis of collected data change can be achieved.
Right conditions in Halland
Health is a strong field in Halland. There are many strong actors and well-developed collaborations between the business sector, academia and different parts of the public sector. The productivity within healthcare is 10 percent higher than the average in the rest of Sweden.
At Halmstad University, qualified research is being conducted within for example applied AI and health innovation. Region Halland delivers well executed care and invests a great deal in areas like health, health technology and welfare.
