Boostcamp Patients: at the heart of the innovation process in oncology

Organized under the aegis of Spartners, an independent incubator at the heart of our R&D Institute in Paris-Saclay, Boostcamp Patients creates a unique space where innovation in oncology is built with and for those living with disease.

Ten project leaders were selected following a call for projects launched on January 15. Patients and associations that represent them, caregivers, researchers, healthcare professionals and start-ups… all share the same desire: to propose innovative concepts that meet unmet needs.

  • Raise awareness and improve patients’ access to reliable information,
  • Support patients in their treatment with therapeutic education tools,
  • Facilitate or accelerate diagnosis with innovative solutions,
  • Optimize care pathways between diagnosis and treatment,
  • Support caregivers by providing them with appropriate resources to alleviate their mental burden.Support caregivers by providing them with appropriate resources to alleviate their mental burden.

Throughout the day, speed meetings allowed project leaders to examine and refine their concepts. All while being supported and coached by experts!
