To a great extent preventable ! : To a great extent preventable ! Medical evidence for prevention exists Substantial health gains can be made for relatively modest expenditures on intervention Population wide strategies to lower cholesterol (quality of fat) and blood pressure (salt reduction) are key elements for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) Medical industry offers a broad range of technologies, products and new services to support efficient primary, secondary and tertiary prevention


Focus for the actual Healthy China project : Focus for the actual Healthy China project Vascular Diseases Cardiovascular Diseases (e.g. heart attack Cerebrovascular Diseases (e.g. stroke中风？) Chronical Diseases Diabetes COPD Asthma Arthritis Celiac Disease Life-style influenced (nutrition, smoking, training)


Our approach – combining the best available knowledge and resources : Our approach – combining the best available knowledge and resources FINPRO/TEKES Finpro puts together the project with the Chinese partners (e.g. hospital) and find the products and technologies Finpro; Access to the Finnish experts, associations and companies Market information processing knowledge New business models development knowledge Market strategy development knowledge Sales and distribution channel development Project management knowledge China (Partner) Access to the local experts, associations and companies Legal and financial framework for the project s Identification of the target area for pilot projects Provides strategic direction and decision making Participating companies in Finland and China Assures the cumulated product, technology and service knowledge and experience Main drivers and executors of the developed business concept Assures management commitment and project implementation


Achievements of the first phase : Achievements of the first phase A larger group of opinion leader of the healthcare branch in Shanghai could be interested for the project The ideal place in Shanghai and the entity are identified and informed (Huashan hospital) The disease focus is clear: cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes 2 worldwide known prevention experts for the steering group are committed to support the project (Prof. Jie Chen, Key Lab of HTA, Prof. Pekka Puska, KTL) Recommended experts for the peer-to-peer work groups are identified First Finnish companies have expressed their deep interest to take part in the pilot project The detailed screening of potential industrial candidates for the pilot project was started (Finpro and Tekes) Good publicity of the project (first publications)
