Health Innovation

Our average life expectancy has increased 4-5 years per generation over the last 150 years. That’s great news but it means we need to do more to address the growing number of senior citizens reaching 80 and beyond, the rise in likelihood of illnesses like cancer and diabetes, our vulnerability to novel pandemics, and the growing strain on healthcare systems that are too slow to adapt to these realities. 

EIT Health has set out to cure some of the most important ills afflicting our healthcare. As a Knowledge and Innovation Community, its innovation model is designed to meet the challenges of the moment from more accurate diagnoses of cancer to effective treatments for chronic pain. It’s building nothing less than a Europe-wide system of innovation putting the patient at the centre of attention.
