Entrepreneurial CEO for Ecomedic

A venture which aims to reduce the environmental footprint of the healthcare sector with a life cycle assessment software.

The invention

Hospitals are looking to take action to reduce their environmental impact, which is larger than that of aviation (source). However, existing software for tracking emissions in healthcare mainly focuses on top-down accounting, which doesn't provide actionable information for daily operations. There is a lack of solutions that can systematically measure all factors contributing to emissions from clinical pathways, making it challenging to implement effective decarbonization efforts. Ecomedic is striving to promote eco-friendliness in healthcare by providing a software tool for life cycle assessment (LCA) of value chains. This tool evaluates and presents the environmental impact of clinical pathways and treatments, allowing for optimizations that reduce carbon emissions. Through this software, hospitals can receive emission-saving recommendations and reports on their value chains, thus facilitating decarbonization efforts.
