Bart Haex

Position: Work Package 5

While obtaining my MSc and PhD degree (both at KU Leuven) I studied sleep; my research is captured in the book “Back and Bed” and has resulted in several patents and spinoff companies. I have been advising the Flemish minister of Science, Innovation and Economy, and have been instrumental in setting up public-private institutions both at the regional, national and international level (such as Leuven Health Technology Centre and EIT Health). As a professor at Maastricht University (valorization of research) I obtained an MBA (Vlerick Business School) and joined EIT Health, as Director of Strategy and later as Director Business Development (Belgium-Netherlands), with a focus on digital health.

For the INDICATE project, my colleagues from EIT Health and I are working on a Business Model to make INDICATE (financially) sustainable in the long term (Work Package 3) and on Education (Work Package 5).

What I particularly like about INDICATE, is the hands-on pragmatic approach to advance patient-centred care, by sharing and using data, and the multinational consortium of different organisations and people that will make it happen.
