Business Opportunities with Tays & MSD
Tays and MSD are looking for solutions supporting healthcare professionals in the field of oncology.
The questions we have outlined with Tays and MSD experts and aim to answer with solution providers include the following: How to ensure that the data collection is easy and transparent between different healthcare professionals, treatment stages, and departments? What could be done in order to make the complex treatment journey clearly understandable for all the healthcare professionals involved? How to improve the quality of outpatient care, especially in terms of how clinician’s recommendations complement each other?
The concept and integration are targeting lung cancer patients, however, in the ideal scenario, the solutions would be scaled to other departments of the Pirkanmaa Hospital District of Finland.
Tays and MSD are welcoming companies to apply for the challenge with the aim of finding a long-term partner for ensuring a better patient journey and including better data collection and utilization of information between all parties involved in treating lung cancer patients at TAYS.
