Care Innovation Labs at Sophiahemmet Labs develops a new testbed for medical technology innovation.
Care Innovation Labs, together with Medtech Maze and Digital, is developing an open testbed for early-stage healthcare-based verification of medical technology solutions. Through the project, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will have the opportunity to test and refine their innovations in a real-world healthcare environment before clinical trials and implementation.

About the project
Many medical technology innovations struggle to bridge the gap between research and development and practical use in healthcare. Today, there is a lack of structured environments where companies can receive feedback from healthcare professionals and verify their solutions before moving on to clinical studies and market introduction.
Care Innovation Labs addresses this challenge by creating a testbed where healthcare, education, and industry work together to develop safer, more user-friendly, and more relevant medical technology solutions.
Project goals
The project aims to establish Sophiahemmet Labs as a regional resource for early-stage healthcare verification of medical technology innovations. By testing innovations in real healthcare settings, the project supports product development, strengthens collaboration, and accelerates innovation within life science and medical technology.
What does Care innovation Labs offer?
Through the project, participating companies gain access to:
- A healthcare-based testing environment.
- Feedback from healthcare professionals and end users.
- Support in planning and designing test activities.
- Structured documentation and analysis.
- Identification of usability challenges and workflow-related risks.
- Evidence and insights to support further development, regulatory processes, and future clinical studies.
Target group
Care Innovation Labs is primarily aimed at small and medium-sized medical technology companies in the early stages of development that want to:
- Verify a solution in a healthcare setting.
- Receive feedback from healthcare professionals.
- Strengthen their evidence base and decision-making.
- Identify risks and opportunities for improvement early in the development process.
