What can be found in this document?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The investment plan is a document aimed at health technology innovators to be able to raise more financing for their development. It aims to\u00a0<b>assemble and summarize in a detailed and yet understandable way all the information and references relevant for an innovator in the digital health sector who explores attracting investments<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">I<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">n addition to practical information, such as links to relevant funding sources and a framework for product development, the report also includes a more strategic view for the innovators to better understand the market and its functioning. For instance, the following topics are covered:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Difference in company development between for digital health and consumer tech companies<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Difference and implications for development between medical-device-categorized and non-categorized digital health solutions<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">CIMIT framework and four phases of company and product development, each with their own specific financing implications<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Methodologies for insurers (payors) in evaluating what to reimburse<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Case studies of two digital health companies demonstrate different product categorizations, financing strategies and insights about AHA end-user testing<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Who is\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">the IN-4-AHA\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Long-term Investment and Cost Efficiency plan intended for?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The investment plan is primarily intended for innovators (entrepreneurs) developing health technology solutions in the EU, including but not limited to the solutions aimed at the active and healthy aging market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">As the plan has insights across all the stages of the product innovation cycle, entrepreneurs in the early stages of their product or company development would find most value from reading the report as a lot of focus is placed on anticipation of challenges ahead and planning for them in advance. This, in turn, has implications for financing options. Still, both later stage innovators as well as health technology ecosystem members (e.g. investors, organisations providing support services, healthcare providers) would surely find value in the report. For instance, they would understand why the investor risk profile differs dramatically between solutions not categorised as medical devices and those categorised as such.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span lang=\"EN-GB\">What is the added value of this deliverable?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">investment plan<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0aims to\u00a0<b>provide clarity to the rather complex market of health technology<\/b>. It is aimed to guide the innovator to the right track both in terms of solution development as well as finding the most relevant financing options. Ultimately, the deliverable helps health technology innovators to make better decisions, therefore increasing the competitiveness of the EU digital health ecosystem.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i><span lang=\"EN-US\">Do you want to check out the\u00a0IN-4-AHA\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Long-term Investment and Cost Efficiency plan (D6.2)<\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">?
