PREVIENI attending Frontiers Health in Berlin

What happens when we venture beyond the known frontiers of health? We explored it last week at Frontiers Health in Berlin, with our CEO Valentina Lidoni & Chairman Nadim Conti. By diving into the trends reshaping healthcare today a few stood out:

💡 80% of healthcare spending is tied to chronic conditions, a staggering figure we’re reminded of daily through the insights of doctors we work with (see the third image 👇).

📊 High mortality rates from neoplasms and chronic respiratory diseases reflect urgent, rising challenges that need personalised solutions now.

💊 The future of treatment is evolving toward a holistic approach, with Software Enhanced Drugs from companies like Click Therapeutics, Inc. offering personalized therapies tailored to individual healing journeys.

🔄 Hybrid care might be the key to overcoming inefficiencies in care, blending the power of telehealth and in-person care to improve patient experiences, reduce unnecessary treatments by up to 30%, and drive better outcomes.

These insights reaffirm the work we’re doing at Previeni by bringing diagnosis to patients wherever they are, especially in emergency and follow-up care, where personalised medicine is already proving its game-changing potential.

Hungry for more? If you’re a student in Milan, join us for a lunch seminar at Politecnico di Milano on Nov. 7th to dive deeper into these trends and chat with our team (see comments for more info)!
