LabToMarket is supporting the development and structuring of the Innovation Department of ULS Santo António, a Portuguese public hospital, with the objective of strengthening its internal innovation capacity.
By accelerating the adoption of more effective and innovative solutions, the initiative aims to improve healthcare delivery while positioning Portuguese public hospitals as active players in health innovation rather than passive adopters.
A key pillar of LabToMarket’s work has been its focus on culture, mindset, and change management. The team has been working closely with the hospital community through interviews and engagement sessions with healthcare professionals across multiple roles, including doctors, IT managers, human resources teams, and operational staff. This bottom-up approach reflects the belief that a sustainable culture of innovation must start from within the organization, engaging those who will shape and implement it from day one.
By aligning people, processes, and real clinical needs, LabToMarket aims to support a more systematic, impact-driven approach to innovation in the public sector, bridging healthcare professionals, technology providers, and real-world implementation to generate measurable and lasting impact in healthcare services.
