Health Valley Netherlands is making strides in digital health by connecting diverse sectors to promote tech accessibility for better health solutions.

Landmark Event Showcases Innovation Momentum

The Health Valley Event 2025, held on March 13 in De Vasim Nijmegen, demonstrated the network’s growing influence with over 600 visitors participating in 23 specialized sessions featuring 70 speakers and 45 exhibitors. The event facilitated more than 150 matchmaking meetings, highlighting the organization’s role in fostering healthcare innovation partnerships [1]. This gathering represents a significant milestone in Health Valley’s 15-year journey of connecting healthcare institutions, businesses, and knowledge centers to address societal healthcare challenges [1].

Digital Health Research and Implementation

A groundbreaking digital phenotyping study, published in May 2025, demonstrates the region’s commitment to advancing healthcare technology. The research, involving 374 participants across multiple Dutch institutions, has developed innovative methods for analyzing smartphone-based behavioral data, marking a significant step forward in digital health monitoring capabilities [6]. This aligns with Health Valley’s mission of making healthcare technology more accessible and effective for the general population [1].

Future-Focused Initiatives

The Centre of Expertise Sustainable Care is actively developing solutions for future healthcare challenges, focusing on creating healthy living environments and integrating technology into care delivery [3]. In parallel, Health Valley is conducting a series of ‘Wings’ masterclasses, with the next session scheduled for June 12, 2025, at Rijnstate Hospital in Elst. These sessions are specifically designed to enhance the success rate of healthcare innovations by connecting providers with innovative entrepreneurs [1].

Research and Development Partnerships

Current initiatives include a significant research project by Saxion University of Applied Sciences examining AI’s impact on medical practice [1]. Simultaneously, TNO has launched TNO Ventures, a new program designed to accelerate the transfer of healthcare technology from laboratory development to market implementation through strategic investments in startups [1]. This collaborative approach exemplifies Health Valley’s commitment to fostering practical healthcare solutions through multi-stakeholder partnerships [1][3].
