SmartAging - Sixth podcast: Insights from Nordic Access
23 July 2025
How can smart health solutions truly support older adults and why are so many promising innovations still stuck on the shelf?
In this episode, Jukka Niiranen, CEO at Arnora shares key insights from Nordic Access project.
According to Jukka, the real bottleneck is the lack of a system that enables healthcare organizations to test new innovations. Without internal recognition of a specific need, even promising solutions are often left untested. What’s needed is a clear model that allows healthcare professionals to dedicate time and resources to this process, without compromising patient care. At the same time, companies must involve healthcare professionals early and develop strategies to prove the need and value of their innovations through pilots and real-world partnerships.
