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
Our society and our healthcare system are facing a number of great challenges. Health gaps are increasing, obesity, high blood pressure and mental illness is becoming more common. Pandemics, an aging population and fewer caring hands require new solutions in order to maintain good healthcare. Since more people live longer – because of medical breakthroughs and better welfare – the need for qualified healthcare increases. The costs will increase substantially.
Information driven care – where healthcare data meets AI
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.
To manage the challenges that healthcare faces, we need to focus on preventive methods. By using artificial intelligence (AI) to draw conclusions about collected health data, care givers and hospital managements can make better informed decisions and care can be even more individualised. The concept is called information driven care, which is the focus of the innovation centre Leap for Life.
Information driven care: by learning from the conclusions from using analysis of collected data change can be achieved.
Right conditions in Halland
In Halland, there has long been a close collaboration between academia and the business and public sectors. Halmstad University has built a strong research centre around AI and machine learning and Region Halland has established a national leading position in information driven care. This has been achieved through efficient collaboration, a focus on resources and the establishment of strong international networks.
Leap for Life gathers the necessary ecosystem of competences – care development, business development and research – that are needed for Halland's unique venture in information driven care. Halland has the conditions required for taking the step towards our future healthcare.
By using artificial intelligence (AI) we can use data and digital solutions to make intelligent decisions and diagnostics.
Our projects
Leap for Life focuses on innovation support, professional development and research. In these areas, the innovation centre's primary role is to initiate and coordinate actions with partners from the academic, healthcare and business sectors.
The Global Goals – for sustainable development
Leap for Life is constantly taking the Global Goals into consideration and is especially involvled in Goals 3, 5, 8, 9 and 10.
