WE ARE NOT CONSULTANTS, WE ARE EXPLORERS

We provide consulting services, helping our clients explore and develop their uncharted territories around new technologies and their impact on our client’s business, market innovation and new business models, and strategic foresight, helping our clients envision the future.

On the connected care area, we are helping our clients at different levels:

• Identifying innovative connected devices / Scouting of partners to develop innovative solutions
• Assessing the value proposition of new connected care devices
• Defining the strategy to launch a connected care approach
• Understanding the future organization in the hospital due to the emergence of robotics and connected devices

HEALTHCARE

Alcimed’s Health team guides the daily work of players of the pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical device, diagnostics, vaccines and animal health industries, as well as their technology and service providers. Our clients sit both at the corporate global level as well as within R&D and Business Units. We explore and develop their uncharted territories, by anticipating scientific disruptors and technological shifts (e.g. new lines of research and investment, assessment of technologies/partners), developing new markets (e.g. new products / innovative services positioning, business model changes, etc.), defining entry & expansion strategy in new territories (e.g. BRICS and beyond) and through strategic foresight (e.g. possible futures, new usages).
