Our Future Health started today with presentations from the Dutch Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport Edith Schippers, and Ex-European Commissioner Neelie Kroes. Tomorrow (27th of May) is the day that Bert will pitch his ideas!

He will use this opportunity to pitch his ideas on the innovation of research into health care innovations:

If health care evolves into a more patient-centered type of care, and patients are supposed to act proactively, ‘re-search’ should transform into ‘pro-search’. I call this transformation the #p-value. Emphasis will be placed on formative research, flexibility in interventions and goals, research from the very beginning with the participation of end users, and new strategies, methods and platforms for the purpose of ‘pro-search’.

Bert likes to invite people to think along and collaborate with him in the development of ‘pro-search’.

A livestream of this pitch will be available online. The pitch starts at 8am CET and will be available on this website. The livestream can be found by using the search criteria ‘OurFutureHealth’.
