On 5 June, the EDIH Health Hub participated in a panel discussion at Innovation Days organized by Novartis Hellas. Moderated by Maria Pournari, Chief Operations Officer of EDIH Health Hub, the session explored the role of health startups in improving patient care. Joined by expert speakers, Dr Katie Milioni from MyHabeats, and Cordia Health’s Theodoros Spiliotis and Dimitris Soulani, the event featured two case studies on “From Behavioral Change to Empathy-Driven Innovation”.
MyHabeats is a digital tool that enhances patient adherence to post-obesity surgery guidelines. Cordia Health is a networking application designed for patients with chronic conditions and their caregivers.
In a press statement following the event, the panelists emphasized Health Hub’s crucial role in supporting their projects. Soulani noted that a key challenge for Cordia is increasing its user base. He said, “Health Hub is helping us provide this much-needed networking service for patients.”
“We are partnering with Health Hub, and this has helped us participate in today’s Innovation Days meeting,” said Milioni. She added that the event raised several issues that sparked her interest and which MyHabeats aims to address through new projects that will be developed in collaboration with the Health Hub.
