Barcelona, European hub of innovation in digital healthcare


Innovation in architecture and design has been a constant in Barcelona since decades. Gaudí's La Pedrera façade is like the ondulant shape of a building reflected in cristaline water of a river. Being Passeig de Gracia this blue river, with its paving stones, remembering the bottom of this river or ocean.



Samba Health has organized its Selection Day for the Open Innovation program Accelerate Health Barcelona in the basement of this innovative and seductive building imagined by Gaudi.



The reasons behind the opportunity to innovate in Barcelona in digital healthcare, lie in an ecosystem with plenty of support, seasoned entrepreneurs, innovator in large hospitals,  venture capital firms, executives from large pharmaceutical companies, specialists in design of products and services, and other, contribute to entrepreneurs with an open innovation approach.

Companies like Telemedicine Clinic, Doctoralia, Intelligent Pharma or Advance Medical have been founded in Barcelona.

Innovators today, like innovators a century ago, face similar challenges: access to resources, talent and financing. And therefore Samba Accel has been working for almost a year, building an ecosystem in Barcelona to help innovators, design the healthcare services and products, that could help shape new paradigms, improve processes, and make healthcare systems sustainable, while dramatically improving monitoring and control and reducing risks for patients suffering chronic diseases and treatments.
