DayOne, the Swiss innovation hub for precision medicine and digital health run by BaselArea.swiss, is launching an acceleration program supported by Fondation Botnar. Applications are now open to project ideas improving the wellbeing and health of children and adolescents worldwide.
The acceleration program will include a tailor-made mentoring program, access to DayOne industry experts and collaborative workspace at the DayOne Lab. Selected projects will receive up to 70,000 CHF in non-dilutive funding.
The program welcomes healthcare innovators, start-ups and entrepreneurs as well as intrapreneurs willing to accelerate their project outside of their corporate environment.
The program will support teams and individuals who strive to:
- go beyond research and create minimal viable healthcare products and services
- target health Issues with a special focus on pediatrics and/or adolescents
- enable frontline work to deliver better health outcomes
- lower the healthcare costs and be scalable and therefore making their solution suitable for all markets including in emerging countries
Participants will have the opportunity to drive their project idea forward in a collaborative way engaging with the healthcare innovation ecosystem of the Basel Region.
