This week Ferrer has presented the second edition of Ferrer 4 Future to respond three new innovation challenges: care for patients with movement disorders, reduction of dependence in patients with cognitive behavioural disorders, and support for finding the optimal dose of analgesia in patients with chronic pain.

The initiative invites start-ups and companies to develop health solutions through the use of novel technologies. The call is open until 28 August, 2020.

Olga Fidalgo, Chief Scientific and Business Development Officer of Ferrer, explains Ferrer's commitment to a model of open innovation in digital health began two years ago: "We are convinced that collaboration with third parties is the vehicle which allows us to bring together the best knowledge for the generation of new solutions capable of improving health outcomes and quality of life, as well as facilitating patient’s interaction with health professionals".

"Digital health makes it easier to provide more individualized, integrated and sustainable health care" says Gemma Estrada, head of Digital Health at Ferrer.
