Projektin kuvaus

The main objective of NACCOP project is to strengthen the innovation capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the healthcare sector through the co-developed Quadruple helix model. To enable this, an Arctic platform to the Nordic countries will be built. The platform for international network cooperation and innovation environments will operate across borders. The platform brings together stakeholders and enables the Quadruple helix innovation processes. Small and medium-sized enterprises are thus able to develop innovative products and services in a multi-professional collaboration based on the needs of end-users and with support of expertise of the higher education.

The University of Oulu has studied the gaps in skills regarding health data management and utilization of health and wellness data in secondary use. New innovative solutions for the preventive and predictive care and disease management require efficient utilization of breakthrough technologies, like big data analytics and machine learning. However, the data skills, mainly in data usage which goes beyond the primary purpose in direct care are still poor. There is a need to enhance the digital and data skills in the region to support data driven healthcare and new data-based business creation.

New knowledge, skills, partnerships and collaboration models to work with health and wellbeing data needs to be built. The focus is on building best practices and guidance between academia, industry and healthcare professionals when data is being used for research and development purposes or to create products and services.
