Novo Nordisk joins Barcelona Health Hub to drive digital solutions applied to healthcare

Novo Nordisk, a leading company in the care of people with diabetes and other serious chronic diseases such as obesity, coagulation and growth disorders, reinforces through this alliance its commitment to make innovation the key driver of change to address today's healthcare challenges. The company wants to be part of the development of new technologies that change the world, working side by side with other industry leaders to seek comprehensive solutions that improve medical care and the quality of life of patients.

Silvia Meije, Director of Market Access and Institutional Relations at Novo Nordisk Spain, says: "After 100 years dedicated to providing innovative solutions for patients, the incorporation of Novo Nordisk to Barcelona Health Hub is an important step in our digital transformation process. Digital health is part of the future we want for the next generations, so this relationship with BHH allows us to give a great technological boost to our R&D&I activity, which is significantly influenced by the use of Artificial Intelligence. And we have always trusted in the value of collaborative work, so this is a great opportunity to continue promoting innovation in the healthcare sector."

Specifically, Novo Nordisk, after a century of making countless medical breakthroughs, now also aims to shorten the long road that a drug travels from discovery to patient with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

"We are delighted to welcome Novo Nordisk to the evolving ecosystem of the Barcelona Health Hub," said Eva Rosell, CEO of Barcelona Health Hub. "As a global pharmaceutical leader, their commitment to innovation and healthcare aligns perfectly with our mission. More than 500 members already contribute to our dynamic community, and Novo Nordisk's presence further enriches the collaborative spirit that defines Barcelona Health Hub. Together, we will continue to drive advances in healthcare, fostering a collective force for positive change."
