Why building a healthier world for everyone is so important?

Urbanization is one of the leading global trends of the 21st century that has a significant impact on health. Over 55% of the world’s population live in urban areas, a proportion that is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. As most future urban growth will take place in developing cities, the world today has a unique opportunity to guide urbanization and other major urban development trends in a way that protects and promotes health. 

Because Dassault Systèmes and the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab believe that virtual worlds extend and improve the real world, we have been supporting the development of disruptive projects acting with a positive impact on health & well being such as FEops, Lucid Implants, Damae Medical, PKvitality and more.

These three startups are working for a same goal, innovating medicine to enable people to live healthier lives.

• FEops offers the first and only patient-specific simulation technology for structural heart interventions, surpassing basic anatomical measurement by accurately predicting how devices will interact with each unique patient.
• LUCID IMPLANTS’ custom solutions not only help maintain perfect aesthetics and quality of life, but also give complete control over the surgical procedure and value-chain, resulting in minimal tissue damage, reduced hospitalization time and lower cost-of-care. 
• PKvitality ensures healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. 425 million people worldwide have diabetes, according to the International Diabete Federation. Thanks to their watch, people can track easily and discreetly their glucose levels throughout the day and night. 

Together we commit to act for good and achieve the goals defined by the United Nations through the Sustainable Development Goal number 3.
