At Newel Health, we often talk about “Digital Therapeutics” and “Digital Medicine,” but behind every line of code, clinical trial, and CE mark, there is a single, defining priority: the human being at the other end of the screen.
We are thrilled to announce that Newel Health will be attending this year’s European Patients’ Forum (EPF) Congress in Brussels.
As the flagship event for the European patient community, the EPF Congress is more than just a conference; it is a critical convergence of healthcare leaders, policymakers, and patient advocates. It represents a vital opportunity to reshape how healthcare is not only delivered but how it is experienced by those who need it most.
Why We Are Going: Beyond the Buzzwords
“Patient-centricity” has become a buzzword in the pharmaceutical and med-tech industries. However, true patient-centricity requires more than good intentions—it requires active listening and integration of the patient voice into the R&D process itself.
We believe that transforming lives with digital medical devices begins with a genuine understanding of the realities, needs, and lived experiences of people managing chronic conditions every day.
Our attendance at the EPF Congress underscores our commitment to three core pillars:
- Co-Design over Assumption: Whether it is our VR-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain (Rohkea) or our digital solutions for hypertension (Amicomed) and Parkinson’s disease (Soturi), we do not build in a vacuum. We build alongside the communities we serve.
- Empathy in Engineering: A clinical algorithm can treat a condition, but only an empathetic interface can engage a person. We are in Brussels to learn how we can better bridge the gap between clinical efficacy and daily usability.
- Policy & Access: Digital Therapeutics (DTx) are a new frontier. By engaging in the dialogue at EPF, we aim to advocate for regulatory frameworks that prioritize patient access to these innovative tools across Europe.
Listening as a Strategy
Innovation isn’t just about having the best technology; it’s about solving the right problems.
At the Congress, our primary goal is to listen. We look forward to learning from patient communities and understanding the nuances of their journeys. These insights fuel our strategy, ensuring that our platform, H. Core, continues to deliver personalized, adaptive, and empathetic interventions.
We are eager to contribute to the dialogue on how digital therapeutics can support prevention, management, and continuity of care across the continent.
