										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>ISO 45003 and Workplace Mental Health: From Goodwill to a Managed Risk</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Depression and anxiety cost around 12 billion working days a year worldwide. Tunisia&#8217;s occupational medicine inspectorate puts psychosocial risk at 840,000 deaths a year and losses of 1.37 percent of world output. ISO 45003 is the standard that turns workplace mental health into a risk an employer can assess, treat and evidence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation is the HealthTech cluster based in Monastir, Tunisia. We publish this because the subject arrives at companies as a wellbeing initiative and leaves as an audit question.</span></p>
<h3><b>What ISO 45003 actually is ?</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.iso.org/standard/64283.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISO 45003</a> was published in June 2021  . It is the first international standard devoted to managing psychosocial risk at work.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It sits inside an occupational health and safety management system built on ISO 45001. It applies to organisations of every size and sector.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One point is widely misread. ISO 45003 is guidance, so a company cannot be certified against it. What a company can do is use it to structure a risk assessment that an auditor, a client or a court can follow.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That distinction is the whole value. It moves the subject from intention to method.</span></p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-27586674 alignleft" src="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/iso-45003-psychosocial-risk-loop-1024x427.png" alt="iso 45003 psychosocial risk loop" width="1024" height="427" title="ISO 45003 and Workplace Mental Health: From Goodwill to a Managed Risk 2" srcset="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/iso-45003-psychosocial-risk-loop-1024x427.png 1024w, https://healthcareinnovation.tn/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/iso-45003-psychosocial-risk-loop-980x408.png 980w, https://healthcareinnovation.tn/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/iso-45003-psychosocial-risk-loop-480x200.png 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw" /></p>
<h3><b>The size of the problem </b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The<a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/mental-health-at-work" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> World Health Organization</a> sets out the global cost  . Around 12 billion working days are lost each year to depression and anxiety, at an estimated 1 trillion dollars in lost productivity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The joint guidance is more recent than most workplace policies. WHO and the International Labour Organization published<a href="https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240053052" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> guidelines on mental health at work</a> in September 2022 .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Those guidelines recommend manager training for the first time. They also cover organisational measures, worker training, individual support, return to work and access to employment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read that list closely. Four of the six recommendations act on how work is organised. Only one acts on the individual.</span></p>
<h4><b>What Tunisia already says ?</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The subject is on the Tunisian agenda at official level. The World Day for Safety and Health at Work on 28 April 2026 was marked in Tunisia under a slogan calling for a <a href="https://www.lapresse.tn/2026/04/28/tunisie-accidents-du-travail-vos-droits-les-chiffres-les-seuils/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">healthy psychological and social working environment</a> .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lotfi Mahjoub, director general of the inspectorate of occupational medicine and professional safety at the Ministry of Social Affairs, set out the framework on national radio. Health and safety at work is a constitutional right. Declaring an accident or an occupational disease falls first to the employer, with the national health insurance fund. The employee may declare it if the employer does not.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He also gave the compensation scale.</span></p>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000;"><b>Incapacity rate</b></td>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000;"><b>Compensation</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Below 5 percent</span></td>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">None</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">6 to 15 percent</span></td>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lump sum</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Above 15 percent</span></td>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Life annuity</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now put those two facts side by side. The inspectorate placed psychosocial risk at the centre of 2026. The compensation scale opens at a measured incapacity of 5 percent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A psychosocial injury rarely produces a rate at that level. The architecture is calibrated on physical impairment. This is our reading of two published facts rather than a legal opinion, and it should be checked with a lawyer before anyone relies on it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The practical consequence is simple. Where compensation is hard to reach, prevention is the only mechanism that changes anything.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">« An employer who waits for a psychosocial injury to be compensated will wait a long time. Prevention is not the generous option here. It is the only one that works. » Dr Haroun Ouanes, Director, HealthCare Innovation</span></p>
<h4><b>Why the reporting chain reaches Tunisian companies</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">European sustainability reporting changed this year. The Omnibus directive, Directive (EU) 2026/470, was published in the <a href="https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2026/470/oj" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Official Journal on 26 February 2026 and entered into force on 18 March 2026</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It narrows the scope. Reporting under the European sustainability standards now applies to entities above 1,000 employees and 450 million euros of net turnover. Listed medium and small companies leave the scope. Member States have until 19 March 2027 to transpose the changes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inside those standards, ESRS S1 covers a company&#8217;s own workforce and applies where that topic is material. Workers in the value chain fall under ESRS S2.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So fewer European companies report. That is where most commentary stops, and it misses what happens next.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Supplier questionnaires are a procurement instrument, not a legal one. A European client that still reports will keep asking its suppliers about working conditions, and a client that no longer reports often keeps the questionnaire it already built. A Tunisian exporter can therefore receive the question either way. This is a reading of how procurement behaves rather than a rule written anywhere.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Health and safety data is the part of that questionnaire a company can prepare in advance.</span></p>
<h4><b>What an employer can put in place in ninety days ?</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">None of the following requires certification, a consultant or a licence.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Name the hazards.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Workload, deadlines, isolation, unclear roles, hostile behaviour. Write the list for your own company, not a generic one.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Assess them like any other risk.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Likelihood, severity, exposed population. Use the same register as physical risks, on the same page.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Train the managers.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> WHO recommends it explicitly. A manager who recognises distress early changes the outcome more than any application.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Fix the organisational causes you control.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Shift patterns, notice periods, on-call rules, how work arrives. These are the four of six recommendations that act on the organisation.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Record what you did and what changed.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> That record is the answer to a client questionnaire and the beginning of a real prevention programme.</span></li>
</ul>
<h4><b>Where digital tools help, and where they do not</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tools measure. They rarely repair. We set out five barriers to adoption in <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/ai-workplace-wellbeing-strategic-dialogue-2026/">AI and workplace wellbeing</a>  , and the first of them is trust.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A survey that reaches an employer without protecting the respondent produces silence rather than data. A tool sold to the employee adds to what households already pay directly, a trap we describe in <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/tunisia-out-of-pocket-health-spending-digital-health/">Tunisia&#8217;s health financing gap</a> .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The useful place for a digital tool is narrow and real. It can track exposure, run an anonymous assessment at scale, and hold the evidence trail. Prevention itself is a management decision.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That is also where an insurer becomes interested, because reduced absence shows up in claims. We look at that logic in <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/health-insurance-insurtech-maghreb/">Health insurance in the Maghreb</a> .</span></p>

<h4><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></h4>
<p><b>Q: What is ISO 45003?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: The first international standard on managing psychosocial risk at work, published in June 2021. It gives guidance inside an occupational health and safety system based on ISO 45001.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: Can a company be certified to ISO 45003?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: No. It is a guidance standard. A company can be certified to ISO 45001 and use ISO 45003 to structure the psychosocial part of its risk assessment.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: What does poor workplace mental health cost?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Around 12 billion working days a year worldwide to depression and anxiety, at an estimated 1 trillion dollars in lost productivity, according to the World Health Organization.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: Does Tunisia compensate psychosocial injury?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: The compensation scale opens at 5 percent measured incapacity, with a lump sum from 6 to 15 percent and a life annuity above that. Reaching that threshold for a psychosocial injury is difficult, which is our reading rather than a legal position.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: Does European reporting still affect Tunisian suppliers?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Fewer European companies report after Directive (EU) 2026/470. Supplier questionnaires come from procurement rather than from the directive, so the question can still arrive.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>Health Insurance in the Maghreb: The Payer Nobody Pitches</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tunisian private health insurance collected 400 million dinars in the first half of 2026, up 16.9 percent. It paid out 293.7 million over the same period. Health is now the fastest growing branch after life. This article asks what health insurance in the Maghreb would actually buy from a digital health company.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation is the HealthTech cluster based in Monastir, Tunisia. We publish this because founders pitch patients and ministries, and skip the payer sitting between them.</span></p>
<h3><b>What the Tunisian numbers show</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.lapresse.tn/2026/08/31/secteur-des-assurances-en-tunisie-hausse-de-13-du-chiffre-daffaires-au-premier-semestre-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The figures come from the General Insurance Committee,</a> relayed on 31 August 2026  . Direct insurance revenue reached 2,529.2 million dinars for the half year, up 13 percent.</span></p>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Health sits third by size and second by growth. Now read the other side of the ledger. Claims paid on health reached 293.7 million dinars, up 16.4 percent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Divide one by the other. The branch returns around 73 dinars in claims for every 100 dinars of premium. That division is our own arithmetic on two published figures, and the committee publishes no such ratio.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two things follow. The branch is profitable enough to keep growing. It is also indexed on the cost of care, because premiums and claims rose within half a point of each other.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An insurer in that position has three options. Raise premiums, reimburse less, or reduce the volume of care claimed. Only the third option leaves the customer better off.</span></p>
<h4><b>Coverage is rising across the Maghreb</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Morocco moved faster than its neighbours. The generalisation of mandatory health i<a href="https://www.maroc.ma/fr/actualites/generalisation-de-lamo-plus-de-32-millions-de-beneficiaires-en-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nsurance reached more than 32 million beneficiaries in 2025</a> →  . That is 88 percent of the population, against 42 percent before the reform.</span></p>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Moroccan figure breaks down into schemes. The Tadamon scheme covers close to 11 million people, the scheme for self-employed workers around 4 million, and a voluntary scheme registers 313,000 more.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Morocco is also revising its national reference tariff and making therapeutic protocols enforceable. Those two files decide what a payer reimburses and at what price. They matter more to a digital health company than any coverage headline.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coverage and financial protection remain different questions. Tunisian households still pay between 38 and 40 percent of health spending directly, depending on the source and the year. <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/tunisia-out-of-pocket-health-spending-digital-health/">We treat that figure in Tunisia&#8217;s health financing gap</a> .</span></p>
<h4><b>Prevention is the only lever an insurer controls</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Tunisian Federation of Insurance Companies has taken a public position on this. Its president, Mondher Khabcheche, <a href="https://www.webmanagercenter.com/2026/04/21/562974/assurances-comment-lassurance-maladie-privee-peut-elle-completer-la-cnam-en-tunisie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argued in April 2026 that private cover should act as a partner to the public scheme</a> .</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">« Private insurance should not be a luxury. It should be a regulator, a partner able to support the public scheme within a logic of lasting balance and universal health coverage. » Mondher Khabcheche, President, Tunisian Federation of Insurance Companies</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The federation puts the household share at 40 percent, against 24.3 percent in 2016 and 12 percent in 2005. It places the international reference between 10 and 15 percent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The driver is chronic disease. The federation attributes 82 percent of Tunisian deaths to noncommunicable diseases. Cardiovascular conditions alone account for more than 30 percent. One Tunisian in three has hypertension and one in six has diabetes. World Health Organization country data puts the noncommunicable share nearer 86 percent. Treat both as an order of magnitude.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The federation also relays return on investment ratios for prevention.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These ratios are relayed by the federation rather than taken from a document we consulted line by line. The underlying framework is public. The World Health Assembly adopted an expanded list of 28 best buy interventions in May 2023. <a href="https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240091078" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WHO publishes them as best buys</a>   .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prevention is where the insurer and the digital health company want the same outcome. Both gain when a complication does not happen.</span></p>
<h4><b>Where the InsurTech money is going</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Capital for this sector is being organised at continental level. <a href="https://fsdafrica.org/fsd-africa-launches-30-million-inclusive-insurtech-fund-to-close-africas-protection-gap-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FSD Africa announced a pan-African venture fund of 25 to 30 million dollars on 26 November 2025</a>  . It targets early stage insurance startups, with health named among its three priorities.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The accelerator behind it has scale. BimaLab reports more than 135 startups supported in 28 African countries since 2020. It counts 150 insurance solutions reaching over 6 million customers. It has worked with 15 regulators on 7 regulatory sandboxes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The announcement names 28 countries without listing them. We could not establish from public sources whether Tunisian companies have taken part. That is a limit of what is published, not a finding about the sector.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Insurance penetration stays below 3 percent across most of Africa. A market at that level grows by reaching new customers rather than by taking share.</span></p>
<h4><b>What an insurer would actually buy</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A pitch that promises better health will lose. A pitch that names a claims line will get a meeting. Four conditions decide the outcome.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>A named population.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Not all policyholders. The diabetic members of one corporate scheme, counted.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>A measured baseline.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> What that group costs the insurer today, in claims, over twelve months.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>An agreed endpoint.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Fewer hospital admissions, fewer repeat tests, better treatment adherence. One number, agreed before the pilot starts.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>A contract that shares the result.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Payment linked to the measured effect rather than to the number of licences.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Those four items are also what a public scheme needs. The reimbursement pathways that exist elsewhere are built on the same evidence, as we show in Who pays for<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/digital-therapeutics-reimbursement-models-tunisia/"> digital therapeutics</a>  .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One technical condition sits underneath all of it. Measuring a baseline means reading claims and clinical data in a usable form.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That is an interoperability question, treated in FHIR, <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/fhir-interoperability-north-africa-sahetna/">Sahetna.tn and the interoperability gap</a>  .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Companies working on this can start with our<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/service/startups/"> Startup programmes</a> . Insurers and mutual funds can reach the cluster through the <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/community/">Community page </a></span></p>
<h4><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></h4>
<p><b>Q: How large is private health insurance in Tunisia?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Premiums reached 400 million dinars in the first half of 2026, up 16.9 percent, according to General Insurance Committee figures. It is the second fastest growing branch after life.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: How much does that branch pay out?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Claims on health reached 293.7 million dinars over the same six months. That is around 73 dinars paid for every 100 collected, on our own calculation from the two published figures.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: How does Moroccan coverage compare?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Morocco reports 88 percent of the population covered in 2025, against 42 percent before generalisation. Tunisia reports 81 percent at the 2024 census.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: Why should an insurer buy a digital health tool?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Because premiums and claims are rising at almost the same rate. Reducing the volume of care claimed is the only lever that leaves the customer better off.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: What makes a pitch to an insurer credible?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: A named population, a measured baseline in claims, one agreed endpoint, and a contract that pays on the measured effect.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>Inside the Patient Care Pathways Hackathon: 48 Hours, 36 Students, Six Solutions</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thirty-six medical and IT students formed six teams and worked for 48 hours on six therapeutic areas. The Patient Care Pathways hackathon ran from 13 to 15 February 2026 in Hammamet, as a full residency. HealthCare Innovation reported the results on 10 March 2026.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation is the HealthTech cluster based in Monastir, Tunisia. It ran the programme with <a href="https://enactus.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Enactus Pharmacy</a> , connway academy and GFI University.</span></p>
<h3><b>Why a care pathway needs fixing before it needs software</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A patient with diabetes in Tunisia sees a general practitioner, a specialist, a laboratory and a pharmacy. Each keeps its own record. None of them sees the whole journey.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That is not a Tunisian problem alone. In 2016 the World Health Assembly adopted the framework on <a href="https://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA69/A69_39-en.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">integrated people-centred health services</a> . The framework asks health systems to move away from fragmented services organised around supply. It links that fragmentation directly to chronic disease, ageing and multimorbidity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tunisia carries that load. Noncommunicable diseases cause around 86 percent of <a href="https://data.who.int/countries/788" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deaths in the country</a>  . Those are exactly the conditions that need a pathway rather than a consultation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So the brief given to the students was not to build an app. It was to redesign a journey, then decide what part of it software should carry.</span></p>
<h3><b>How the programme was built</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The call for applications opened on 6 February and closed on 9 February 2026. It targeted medical students and IT students from GFI, working in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and software engineering.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teams were built to be mixed. Six people per team, medicine and engineering together, for three days in full residency at Hammamet. That format matters. A clinician and a developer who share a room for three days build something neither would design alone.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Team leaders, mentors and trainers guided each group. The teams generated ideas, tested their assumptions against them, and presented a solution at the end of the sprint.</span></p>
<h4><b>The six challenges, and the ones that changed</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The six therapeutic areas announced in February differ from the six worked on in the end. HCI published both lists. We report both, and note that no source explains the shift.</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><b>Announced on 6 February</b></td>
<td><b>Worked on during the sprint</b></td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Infectious diseases</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Transmissible diseases</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two areas held throughout: geriatrics and rare diseases. Infectious and transmissible diseases are the same category under two names. Three changed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The likely reading is that the teams themselves reshaped the brief once they met their mentors. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease are the two heaviest chronic loads in Tunisia, and dermocosmetics has a large private market. A programme that lets students follow the real problem is doing its job.</span></p>
<h4><b>The other half: Innovation Galaxy</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The hackathon did not stand alone. An Innovation Galaxy on patient care pathways ran on 14 February at the same venue, during the sprint. It showed six targeted therapeutic areas and the digital applications built around them, arranged as a personalised and fully digital patient journey.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A second Innovation Galaxy followed at the third Healthcare Innovators Summit, reported on 4 March 2026. Interactive stations took clinicians, innovators and startups through the same subject. We describe the format itself in Innovation <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/innovation-galaxy-mediterranean-geriatrics-forum-2026/">Galaxy at the Mediterranean Geriatrics Forum </a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The pairing is deliberate. Students design in one room while practitioners test finished tools in the next. Each group sees what the other is doing.</span></p>
<h4><b>What we take from it</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three points hold beyond the weekend.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mixing the disciplines early works better than pairing them late. A medical student who has argued with a developer about a data model will brief one properly in ten years.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The subject list moved because the participants moved it. That is a feature of the format, not a failure of planning.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A hackathon produces prototypes, not companies. What turns one into the other is the support that follows, which is the subject of <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/pharma-4-novation-lessons-ecosystem-alliance/">Pharma 4 Novation</a>, eighteen months on </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HCI will run the format again. Students and academic partners who want to take part can reach us through the <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/community/">Community page</a>. Teams with a project ready to go further can look at our<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/service/startups/"> Startup programmes</a> </span></p>
<h4><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></h4>
<p><b>Q: Who could take part in the hackathon?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Medical students and IT students from GFI, working in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and software engineering. Teams were multidisciplinary and had six members each.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: How long did the hackathon last?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Forty-eight hours of work across three days, from 13 to 15 February 2026, in full residency at Hammamet.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: Which therapeutic areas did the teams work on?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Diabetes, rare diseases, cardiovascular diseases, geriatrics, dermocosmetics and transmissible diseases. Three of these differ from the areas announced in the call for applications.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: Who organised the programme?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: HealthCare Innovation, with Enactus Pharmacy, connway academy and GFI University.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: What is the Innovation Galaxy?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: An immersive space that HCI sets up inside medical congresses and events. Visitors move through interactive stations showing digital health solutions. Two editions on patient care pathways ran in February and March 2026.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>AI and Workplace Well-being: Inside the Second HCI and KAS Strategic Dialogue</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Employers, occupational physicians and HR professionals mapped five barriers to AI adoption in Tunisian organisations. Governance, skills, data quality, change management, ethics and trust. HealthCare Innovation reported the outcome on 8 July 2026, after its second strategic dialogue with the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation is the HealthTech cluster based in Monastir, Tunisia. <a href="https://www.kas.de/fr/web/tunesien" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung</a> is a German political foundation with an office in Tunis. It works on policy dialogue and economic development.</span></p>
<h3><b>Why a HealthTech cluster runs a dialogue on HR</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The dialogue belongs to a wider project. HCI and KAS signed a partnership in June 2026. It covers four strategic dialogues and one study, under the title Co-Creating a Resilient and Integrated Health Ecosystem in Tunisia. The first dialogue covered One Health and digital tools. We describe it in<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/hci-kas-resilient-health-ecosystem-tunisia/"> HCI and Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung open a national dialogue</a> .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The second one moved the subject inside the firm. The room held employers, experts, public bodies, HR and QHSE staff, works doctors, innovators and startups. That mix is the point. Works doctors and HR rarely sit at the same table as tool vendors.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The question on the table was narrow. How can AI and digital tools help a firm prevent, measure and manage well-being at work, mental health and lasting performance?</span></p>
<h3><b>What the keynotes set up</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hamadi Chellouf and Saidi Bouzidi opened the day. They covered three subjects. How the HR function goes digital. Whether a firm is ready for AI. And what a responsible use of the tools requires.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their framing shaped the rest of the day. An organisation does not adopt AI because it buys a tool. It adopts AI when its culture, its data and its management practices can absorb one.</span></p>
<h4><b>The panel asked the uncomfortable questions</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The keynote panel was led entirely by women. Meriam Ben Boubaker moderated, with Mounira Bouzouita, Dr Aida Lamloum and Dr Oumaima Laifa. Between them they brought the employer view, occupational health, research and innovation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The panel put three questions to the room.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are organisations ready to adopt AI responsibly?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do we stop AI from reinforcing bias, workplace pressure or inequality?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do we build AI that serves people, prevention, trust and sustainable performance?</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One conclusion carried the session. What decides AI adoption is the state of the firm, not the state of the tool. Culture, governance, skills, data, the habit of listening, and honest leadership.</span></p>
<h4><b>The five barriers, and what each one means</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The working groups produced the most useful output of the day. Five barriers block AI inside a firm. The groups named the five. The second column below is our own reading of what each one looks like on the ground.</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><b>Barrier</b></td>
<td><b>What it looks like in practice</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Governance</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">No one owns the decision. Roles, accountability and escalation paths for AI use are undefined.</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Skills and talent development</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teams can operate a tool but cannot question its output, so they either over-trust it or reject it.</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Data quality</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well-being data is incomplete, scattered across systems, or collected without a clear purpose.</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Change management</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">The tool arrives before the conversation. Employees learn about it once it is already running.</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ethics and trust</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Staff suspect that a well-being tool is a monitoring tool. Without a clear line, adoption stalls.</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The groups also drew up advice to help HR teams get ready. People, prevention and lasting performance stay at the centre.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All five barriers sit inside the firm. A better vendor solves none of them.</span></p>
<h4><b>What the startups showed</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two Tunisian startups presented solutions at the event. <a href="https://www.wejdenspire.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WejdenSpire </a>works on workplace mental health and well-being. NormSafety works on occupational health and safety compliance.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their presence answered a common objection. Employers often say no local tool exists. Two of them were in the room.</span></p>
<h4><b>Why this matters beyond the day</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The World Health Organization puts a number on the problem. Depression and anxiety cost 12 billion <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/mental-health-at-work" target="_blank" rel="noopener">working days every year worldwide.</a> The bill reaches around one trillion US dollars a year in lost productivity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Europe is moving on the same file. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work runs a campaign on <a href="https://healthy-workplaces.osha.europa.eu/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mental health at work</a> from 2026 to 2028  . The agency reports that 37 percent of European workers feel general fatigue. Another 29 percent report stress, depression or anxiety.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That matters for Tunisian suppliers. European buyers who report on working conditions will ask the same of their subcontractors. Most will use ISO 45003:2021 as the yardstick. It is the only global standard on the subject. We set out what it requires in ISO 45003 and the new rules of<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/iso-45003-workplace-mental-health-esg/"> workplace mental health</a>  .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HCI holds one position on this. Well-being at work drives governance, resilience, hiring and long-term value. It is a board subject, not a perk.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two more dialogues remain in the series, along with the study. Companies that want to take part can reach the cluster through our <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/community/">Community page</a>  . Employers looking for a diagnostic can start with our <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/services/">Services</a> .</span></p>
<h4><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></h4>
<p><b>Q: What were the five barriers to AI adoption identified?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Governance, skills and talent, data quality, change management, and ethics and trust. All five sit in the firm, not in the tool.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: Who took part in the dialogue?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Employers, experts, public bodies, HR and QHSE staff, works doctors, innovators and startups. Hamadi Chellouf and Saidi Bouzidi gave the keynotes. Meriam Ben Boubaker led a panel with Mounira Bouzouita, Dr Aida Lamloum and Dr Oumaima Laifa.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: What is the HCI and KAS project?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: HealthCare Innovation and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung signed a partnership in June 2026. It covers four strategic dialogues and one study on a resilient and integrated health ecosystem in Tunisia. This was the second dialogue.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: Why does mental health at work concern Tunisian companies now?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: The European agency for safety and health at work runs a campaign on the subject from 2026 to 2028. European buyers who report on working conditions pass those requirements to their suppliers.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: How can a company join the next dialogue?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Contact HealthCare Innovation through the community page of the cluster website.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>HCI and Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Open a National Dialogue on One Health in Tunisia</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung signed a partnership in June 2026. It covers four strategic dialogues and one in-depth study, under the title Co-Creating a Resilient and Integrated Health Ecosystem in Tunisia. The first dialogue, reported on 25 June 2026, addressed digital tools and AI for a One Health approach.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation is the HealthTech cluster based in Monastir, Tunisia. The<a href="https://www.kas.de/fr/web/tunesien" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung</a> is a German political foundation with an office in Tunis.</span></p>
<h2><b>What the two organisations agreed to do</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The partnership has a narrow object. HCI and KAS co-organise strategic dialogues and produce studies. One question runs through them. How do health, technology and innovation work together to drive economic growth?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The method counts as much as the subject. Each dialogue puts public bodies, firms, academics and innovators in one room. Each one produces a written output. Four dialogues and one study in all.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That format answers a gap. Tunisia has no standing forum on this subject. A ministry official, a hospital director, a startup founder and a researcher rarely read the same file at the same time.</span></p>
<h3><b>The first dialogue: One Health, digital tools and AI</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The opening dialogue took the title Digital Tools and AI to Support an Inclusive and Multi-Stakeholder One Health Approach.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Participants worked on four functions, not on technology in general. Prevention, surveillance, early detection, and response to complex health threats. For each one they asked the same question. What do digital tools, AI, data and cross-sector work actually add?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The room held public bodies, firms, academics, innovators and healthcare leaders. HCI named several of them. Dr Faten Khemaissia, Mohamed Azaouzi, Wissem Bahrouni, Nour Souabni, Kaouther Boussema, Imen Nefzi, Chihebeddine Romdhani, Asma Saidouni, Alla El-Awaisi, Sarra Ben Ayed and Fatma Tritar. Michael Bauer represented the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">« One Health cannot be delivered by the health sector alone. Our role as a cluster is to put veterinary services, environmental agencies, clinicians and technology teams around one table, and to make sure something is written down at the end. » Dr Haroun Ouanes, Director, HealthCare Innovation</span></p>
<h3><b>Why One Health, and why now</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One Health treats human, animal, plant and environmental health as one system. The idea is not Tunisian. <a href="https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240059139" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Four international bodies published a joint plan of action on it in 2022</a>  . They are the Food and Agriculture Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme, the World Health Organization and the World Organisation for Animal Health.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The plan runs on six action tracks.</span></p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><b>Action track</b></td>
<td><b>Object</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">1</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strengthen One Health capacities inside health systems</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">2</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reduce the risk of emerging zoonotic epidemics and pandemics</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">3</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Control endemic zoonotic, neglected tropical and vector-borne diseases</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">4</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strengthen food safety risk assessment and management</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">5</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Curb antimicrobial resistance</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">6</span></td>
<td><span style="font-weight: 400;">Integrate the environment into One Health</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The timing matters. On 14 August 2026 <a href="https://www.who.int/news/item/14-08-2026-quadripartite-collaboration-extends-the-one-health-joint-plan-of-action-to-2029" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the four bodies extended the plan to 2029</a>  . A country that builds capacity now builds it against a frame that will still hold in three years.</span></p>
<h4><b>What is at stake for Tunisia</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two pressures meet here. Noncommunicable diseases cause around 86 percent of <a href="https://data.who.int/countries/788" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deaths in Tunisia</a> . Those need long follow-up and shared data. Zoonotic and vector-borne risks need watch across veterinary, environmental and human health services. Those services rarely share systems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Both problems share a root. The data exists but sits in separate hands. That is a question of interoperability before it is one of technology. We treat it on its own in <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/fhir-interoperability-north-africa-sahetna/">FHIR, Sahetna.tn and the interoperability gap</a> .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HCI holds a clear position. Put together, One Health, digital workflows, innovation and multi-actor work form a strategic lever. The aim is a Tunisian model that is resilient, scalable and open to the world.</span></p>
<h4><b>What comes next</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three dialogues and the study remain. The second one moved the subject inside the company, and we cover it in <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/ai-workplace-wellbeing-strategic-dialogue-2026/">AI and workplace well-being </a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bodies and firms that want to join a later session can reach the cluster through the <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/community/">Community page</a> . Those looking for support on <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/services/">health data governance can start with our Services</a>  .</span></p>
<h4><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></h4>
<p><b>Q: What is the HCI and KAS project?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: A partnership signed in June 2026. It covers four strategic dialogues and one in-depth study, under the title Co-Creating a Resilient and Integrated Health Ecosystem in Tunisia. It looks at health, technology and innovation as a driver of economic growth.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: What was the first dialogue about?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Digital tools and artificial intelligence supporting an inclusive and multi-stakeholder One Health approach, applied to prevention, surveillance, early detection and response.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: What does One Health mean?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: It treats human, animal, plant and environmental health as one system. Four international bodies, FAO, UNEP, WHO and WOAH, run a joint plan of action on it. They extended it in August 2026 to run until 2029.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: Who took part?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Public institutions, private sector actors, academics, innovators and healthcare leaders. Michael Bauer represented the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: How many dialogues remain?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Three, plus the study. The second one, on AI and workplace well-being, was reported in July 2026.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>HealthCare Innovation at Euromed Days 2026 in Nicosia</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation joined Euromed Days 2026 in Nicosia from 15 to 17 June. The meeting gathered more than 120 delegates from 26 Euro-Mediterranean countries. ANIMA Investment Network and Invest Cyprus co-organised it. Dr Haroun Ouanes and Hatem Fathallah represented the cluster.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation is the HealthTech cluster based in Monastir, Tunisia. Euromed Days brings together development agencies, clusters and investors from across the region.</span></p>
<h3><b>Why a Tunisian health cluster travels to Cyprus</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Health innovation crosses borders faster than health funding does. A tool built in Tunis can serve a hospital in Nicosia. The money to build it rarely moves the same way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Euromed Days puts cluster managers, agencies and investors in one room for three days. For a cluster, that room is the product. A meeting held there can become a joint project two years later.</span></p>
<h4><b>The link to E-HealthNAx</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://anima.coop/en/ also steers Euromed Clusters Forward" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ANIMA Investment Network</a>  . That is the European programme funding our E-HealthNAx project with France and Poland.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The numbers behind it are public. The European Union covers up to 90 percent of a 7.8 million euro budget. The programme runs until 2026 across seven southern Mediterranean countries, where 81 clusters have been identified.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That link shortened several conversations in Nicosia. A cluster already delivering under the programme does not have to explain what it is. We describe that delivery in E-HealthNAx 2026<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/e-healthnax-2026-launch-day-tunis/"> launch day in Tunis</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">« We do not go to these meetings to present Tunisia. We go to find the two or three partners who have the same problem we do, and who will still answer the phone in eighteen months. » Dr Haroun Ouanes, Director, HealthCare Innovation</span></p>
<h4><b>The funding gap behind the travel</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is a hard reason a cluster invests three days in a room in Cyprus.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">African healthtech startups raised 215 million dollars in 2025, up 232 percent on the year before, according to a sector report on digital health funding in Africa. Tunisian healthtech companies have raised around 2.24 million dollars in total, according to the Tracxn database as of May 2026. Both figures come from commercial trackers rather than official statistics, and both should be read as orders of magnitude.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even read loosely, <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/tunisia-healthtech-funding-gap/">the gap is not a talent gap</a>. We examine its real causes in 68 startups, 2.24 million dollars </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regional access is often what separates a pilot from a company. A small national market rarely supports a healthtech firm alone.</span></p>
<h4><b>Why the standards conversation matters here</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cooperation is not only about money. The Global strategy on <a href="https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240020924 p" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digital health of the World Health Organization</a> laces governance and interoperability among the pillars of safe digital health systems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Neither pillar stops at a border. A Tunisian medical device that meets one standard in Tunis and another in Nicosia serves no one. That is why interoperability sits on the same agenda as investment, and we treat it in<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/fhir-interoperability-north-africa-sahetna/"> FHIR, Sahetna.tn and the interoperability gap </a></span></p>
<h4><b>What comes next</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HCI will follow up on the contacts made in Nicosia. Cluster agreements and investor introductions are the two tracks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Firms preparing a European market entry can start with the regulatory groundwork. See our <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/service/pharma-medical-device/">Pharma and medical device services </a>. Clusters looking for a Tunisian counterpart can reach us through the <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/service/clusters-incubators/">Clusters and incubators page </a></span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>Pharma 4 Novation, Eighteen Months On: What a Four-Way Alliance Taught Us</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pharma 4 Novation launched on 1 February 2025. It is Tunisia&#8217;s first pre-incubation programme for pharmacists and pharmacy students. Four organisations built it together, and the first cohort engaged more than 15 projects. The second annual prize closed its applications on 5 April 2026.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation is the HealthTech cluster based in Monastir, Tunisia. This article looks at the alliance behind the programme rather than at the programme calendar.</span></p>
<h3><b>The gap the programme was built for</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three gaps shaped the design. Tunisian pharmacy training carries little innovation content. Routes from an idea to a company are thin. Market access is fragmented.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A pharmacist who has an idea therefore has nowhere to take it. The idea does not fail on merit. It fails on the absence of a next step.</span></p>
<h3><b>Four partners, four things none of the others could bring</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The alliance is the interesting part. Each partner supplies one thing the others cannot.</span></p>

</table>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.attijaribank.com.tn/fr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Attijari bank</a> runs the funding sessions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Look at the second column again. Remove any one line and the programme stops working. Without the faculty there is no room and no cohort. Without the professional council the profession does not recognise the certificate. Without the manufacturer the students invent problems instead of solving real ones. Without the bank the funding session is theory.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">« We did not start by writing a programme. We started by asking who owns each thing a young pharmacist needs, then went to see them one by one. The design followed. » Dr Haroun Ouanes, Director, HealthCare Innovation</span></p>
<h4><b>What the cohort actually goes through</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The pathway has four stages: idea validation, business modelling, regulatory readiness, market access.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Training covers business design thinking and market studies. Webinars run from France and Tunisia. Rapid prototyping workshops address AI and software. Funding sessions run with the bank. Mentoring gives access to hospital and laboratory validation networks.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first edition engaged more than 15 projects. They spanned AI-assisted diagnosis, emerging biotech solutions, and digital tools for pharmaceutical care.</span></p>
<h4><b>Second edition, and the shift to a prize</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2026 edition added a competitive layer. The second annual prize closed applications on 5 April 2026. The winning project receives 1,000 dinars. Four criteria decide: innovation, impact, maturity, feasibility.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The final pitch took place on 11 April 2026 at the Hilton Skanes in Monastir, during the 24th Pharmaceutical Days of the Centre. HCI and the programme team ran an Innovation Galaxy at the same venue. Dr Haroun Ouanes, Said Naija and Nermine Dammak led the sequence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Placing the final inside a professional congress is deliberate. The winner pitches to pharmacists, not to a jury of programme staff. We use the same method across specialties, described in the I<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/innovation-galaxy-mediterranean-geriatrics-forum-2026/">nnovation Galaxy at the Mediterranean Geriatrics Forum</a></span></p>
<h4><b>What is replicable, and what is not</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three lessons carry to other health professions.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Start from ownership, not from content. The programme works because four owners each keep their part. A single organisation running all four roles would produce a weaker version.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">An industrial partner changes the exercise. Real problems come from a company with a real constraint. We examine that mechanism on its own in<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/open-innovation-pharmaceutical-industries-maghreb/"> Open innovation in pharma </a></span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A pre-incubator produces trained people more reliably than it produces companies. That is a fair result, provided the programme says so.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One limit is worth stating. Noncommunicable diseases cause around <a href="https://data.who.int/countries/788" target="_blank" rel="noopener">86 percent of deaths in Tunisia</a>  . Those patients see a community pharmacist more often than a physician. The<a href="https://www.fip.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> International Pharmaceutical Federation</a>  pushes the profession towards prevention and follow-up on exactly that ground. A pre-incubation programme reaches a few dozen pharmacists a year. Changing what the profession does at scale needs a different instrument.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Faculties and professional bodies that want to build a similar alliance can reach us through the<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/projects/"> Projects page</a>. Pharmacists with a project can start with<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/service/startups/"> our Startup programmes </a></span></p>
<h4><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>Innovation Galaxy at the 20th Mediterranean Geriatrics Forum in Sousse</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation ran an Innovation Galaxy at the 20th Mediterranean Forum of Geriatrics. The forum took place on 4 and 5 April 2026 at Hotel El Mouradi Palace in Sousse. The immersive space ran across both days, around three themes: ageing and prevention, patient care pathways, and medico-social support.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation is the HealthTech cluster based in Monastir, Tunisia. It co-organised the space with the Society for the Promotion of Geriatrics and Gerontology, Serve Senior and <a href="https://www.medgalaxis.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MedGalaxis</a> .</span></p>
<h3><b>The problem the format solves</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Clinicians do not attend startup fairs. Startups do not attend medical congresses. Each group assumes the other will come to it, and neither does.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Innovation Galaxy removes that choice. HCI builds the space inside a congress the clinicians already planned to attend. The visitor does not travel, does not register for a second event, and meets the tools between two sessions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That is a simple idea. It is also the reason a geriatrician saw a remote monitoring tool in April who would not have seen one otherwise.</span></p>
<h4><b>What the two days covered</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The space was built around three themes rather than around exhibitors.</span></p>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #000;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000; padding: 8px;"><b>Theme</b></td>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000; padding: 8px;"><b>What visitors could examine</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000; padding: 8px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ageing and prevention</span></td>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000; padding: 8px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tools that detect loss of function early rather than after a fall</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000; padding: 8px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patient care pathways</span></td>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000; padding: 8px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Solutions that follow an older patient across services rather than inside one</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000; padding: 8px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Medico-social support</span></td>
<td style="border: 1px solid #000; padding: 8px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tools built for the carer as much as for the patient</span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Healthcare professionals, experts, innovators and ecosystem players moved through the space over the two days. Dr Haroun Ouanes, Lina Gargouri and Nermine Dammak led the HCI side.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">« A geriatrician does not need to be convinced that ageing is a subject. What is missing is the chance to hold the tool, ask two hard questions and decide in five minutes. That is what this space is for. » Dr Haroun Ouanes, Director, HealthCare Innovation</span></p>
<h4><b>Why geriatrics, and why now</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The demographic case is settled.<a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/ageing-and-health" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> The World Health Organization expects the number of people</a> aged 60 and over to reach 1.4 billion in 2030, then 2.1 billion in 2050 . By 2030 one person in six worldwide will be 60 or older.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Two thirds of them will live in low and middle income countries. Tunisia sits in that group, and it carries a second load. Noncommunicable diseases cause around 86 <a href="https://data.who.int/countries/788" target="_blank" rel="noopener">percent of deaths in the country</a>. Long conditions and long lives make the same demand: continuity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The World Health Organization answers with an approach called <a href="https://www.who.int/teams/maternal-newborn-child-adolescent-health-and-ageing/ageing-and-health/integrated-care-for-older-people-icope" target="_blank" rel="noopener">integrated care for older people, or ICOPE</a>  . It organises care around five intrinsic capacities: cognition, mobility, vitality and nutrition, sensory function, and psychological health.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read the ICOPE list next to the three Innovation Galaxy themes and they overlap. That is not a coincidence. Both start from function rather than from diagnosis.</span></p>
<h4><b>What we take from it</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three points hold beyond the forum.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The venue is the intervention. Putting innovation inside an existing congress reaches practitioners that a dedicated event never will. We use the same method in other specialties, described in the <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/patient-care-pathways-hackathon-2026/">Patient Care Pathways hackathon </a></span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Carers are users. Solutions built only for the patient miss the person who actually operates them at home.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ageing is an economic subject as well as a clinical one. It sits next to workplace health in the same policy file, which we cover in ISO 45003 and the new rules of <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/iso-45003-workplace-mental-health-esg/">workplace mental health </a></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Congress organisers who want an Innovation Galaxy at their event can reach us through the <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/projects/">Projects page</a>. Startups working on ageing can apply through our <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/service/startups/">Startup programmes </a></span></p>
<h4><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></h4>
<p><b>Q: What is the Innovation Galaxy?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: An immersive space that HealthCare Innovation sets up inside an existing medical congress. Visitors move through interactive stations showing digital health solutions relevant to that congress.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: When and where did the geriatrics edition take place?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: On 4 and 5 April 2026, at Hotel El Mouradi Palace in Sousse, during the 20th Mediterranean Forum of Geriatrics.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: Who co-organised it?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: HealthCare Innovation, the Society for the Promotion of Geriatrics and Gerontology, Serve Senior and MedGalaxis.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: What themes did it cover?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: Ageing and prevention, patient care pathways, and medico-social support.</span></p>
<p><b>Q: How can a congress host an Innovation Galaxy?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A: By contacting HealthCare Innovation through the projects page of the cluster website.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>Digital Health Innovation Day: French Startups Meet Clinicians in Monastir</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Four French HealthTech startups spent the morning of 26 March 2026 with clinicians and researchers in Monastir. The session ran from 09:00 to 12:30 at the Faculty of Medicine. It formed the academic leg of E-HealthNAx, the Euro-Mediterranean programme run by HealthCare Innovation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation is the HealthTech cluster based in Monastir, Tunisia. The startups came through BioValley France, the health innovation cluster based in Strasbourg.</span></p>
<h3><b>Where this day sits in the wider mission</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">E-HealthNAx ran from 24 to 28 March 2026 across Tunis and Monastir. The Tunis leg opened the week with an institutional session and more than 100 business meetings. We cover it in<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/e-healthnax-2026-launch-day-tunis"> E-HealthNAx 2026 launch day in Tunis</a> .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Monastir did something different. Tunis put companies in front of buyers. Monastir put them in front of clinicians and researchers, which is a harder audience and a more useful one.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation runs the programme with BioValley France and MedSilesia Cluster. The Faculty of Medicine of Monastir and Smart Lab FMM hosted the day. The European Union funds it through <a href="https://anima.coop/en/our-projects/euromed-clusters-forward/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Euromed Clusters Forward</a> . ANIMA Investment Network, Berytech, Business France and <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/proovlab/">Proovlab</a> take part.</span></p>
<h3><b>What the morning covered</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The programme had four parts. Startup presentations. A discussion on artificial intelligence and the French HealthTech ecosystem. Meetings with healthcare professionals and researchers. Networking around the stands.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HCI named several participants. Sandra Chalhoub, Carine Remetter, Mohamed Ibn Alkadi, Rania Jebri, Damien Forest, Aleksandra Szczerbak-Ruta, Noemie Jordy, Aziz Frikha, Mohamed Azaouzi, Sana Boujaafar and Charfeddine Amri.<a href="https://www.insimo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> InSimo</a>  also took part. It builds surgical simulation software.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One detail is worth recording. The announcement of 12 March mentioned five French startups. The reports published on 2 and 7 April mention four. No source explains the difference. We keep the figure from the reports.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">« A clinician will find the gap in your product in ten minutes. That is worth more to a startup than a month of market research, and it is the reason we hold one leg of every mission inside a faculty. » Dr Haroun Ouanes, Director, HealthCare Innovation</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-27586448" src="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Announcement-of-the-Digital-Health-Innovation-Day-in-Monastir-724x1024.webp" alt="Announcement of the Digital Health Innovation Day in Monastir" width="724" height="1024" title="Digital Health Innovation Day: French Startups Meet Clinicians in Monastir 4"></p>
<h4><b>Why a clinician audience changes the product</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A startup that pitches to investors is selling a story. A startup that pitches to a practising physician is defending a workflow. The questions differ, and so do the answers a founder walks away with.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The difference has a regulatory side too. The Global strategy on digital health of the<a href="https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240020924" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> World Health Organization</a> names governance, interoperability and workforce skills as pillars of safe digital health systems. None of the three can be tested in a demo room.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Proof requirements move the same way. The NICE framework on evidence<a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/corporate/ecd7" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> standards for digital health</a> grades the proof required against the risk a tool carries. In the United States, the FDA issued a final guidance on <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/18/2025-23252/use-of-real-world-evidence-to-support-regulatory-decision-making-for-medical-devices" target="_blank" rel="noopener">18 December 2025 on real-world data for medical devices </a> . It replaces the 2017 text and now allows aggregated, de-identified data.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read together, those two moves say something practical. Data collected in real settings counts. A Tunisian hospital that tests a French tool is producing evidence, not just giving feedback.</span></p>
<h4><b>What the visitors took home</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three things came out of the morning for the European side.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A care pathway in Tunisia does not match the French one. Volumes, referral habits and payment routes differ. A product built for one has to be reworked for the other.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regulatory status travels badly. A CE mark opens a conversation in Tunis, it does not close one. We set out what applies locally in<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/software-medical-device-regulation-tunisia/"> Software as a Medical Device: Tunisia&#8217;s regulatory</a> blind spot </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Faculties are entry points. A researcher who tests a tool becomes its first local reference. In a market where distributors rely on clinical reputation, that counts.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Firms preparing a North African entry can start with our <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/service/pharma-medical-device/">Pharma and medical device services</a> . Faculties and research teams that want to host a session can reach us through the <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/community/">Community page</a> .</span></p>
<h4><b>Frequently Asked Questions</b></h4>
<p><b>Q: When and where did the Digital Health Innovation Day take place?</b></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><b>HealthCare Innovation Opens E-HealthNAx With 14 European HealthTech Startups in Tunis</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">E-HealthNAx opened in Tunis on 25 March 2026. HealthCare Innovation gathered more than 80 participants and a delegation of 14 French and Polish HealthTech companies. Over 100 matchmaking meetings took place during the five-day mission, which ran from 24 to 28 March across Tunis and Monastir.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation is the HealthTech cluster based in Monastir, Tunisia. E-HealthNAx links the Tunisian digital health ecosystem with its French and Polish counterparts. It also gives European medical technology firms a first structured route into North Africa.</span></p>
<h3><b>Who funds E-HealthNAx and who runs it</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three clusters implement the programme. HealthCare Innovation leads in Tunisia, <a href="https://www.biovalley-france.com/ leads" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BioValley France </a> in France, and <a href="https://medsilesia.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MedSilesia</a> leads in Poland. <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/proovlab/">Proovlab</a> , <a href="https://www.businessfrance.fr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Business France</a> and the CQE project of <a href="https://www.giz.de/en/worldwide/336.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GIZ Tunisia</a>  support the delivery.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The European Union funds the programme through<a href="https://anima.coop/en/our-projects/euromed-clusters-forward/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Euromed Clusters Forward </a> . <a href="https://berytech.org/programs/euromed-clusters-forward/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ANIMA Investment Network leads it with Berytech</a>  . The programme runs until 2026 on a budget of 7.8 million euros. The European Union covers up to 90 percent of it. It reaches 81 clusters in seven southern Mediterranean countries.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A second channel supports the export side. The action belongs to EXPORTI, under the PACE-AMIT programme of the CQE project. GIZ Tunisia delivers it with the Tunisian Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy. The European Union in Tunisia and the German ministry for economic cooperation, known as BMZ, fund it.</span></p>
<h3><b>Which companies came, and from where</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Five Polish medical technology firms travelled to Tunis. They were Accrea<a href="https://www.accrea.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Medical Robotics,</a> <a href="https://en.meden.com.pl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meden-Inmed </a> , <a href="https://www.orthoget.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Orthoget </a> , <a href="https://technomex.pl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Technomex</a> and <a href="https://zarys.pl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zarys</a>  . MedSilesia coordinated the group. It worked with the Upper Silesian Accelerator, known as <a href="https://gapr.pl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GAPR</a> .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The French group came through BioValley France, the health cluster based in Strasbourg. It included <a href="https://www.insimo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">InSimo </a> , which builds surgical simulation software, and <a href="https://www.praxy.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Praxy.ai</a> .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the Tunisian side, the room held health authorities, public bodies, non-governmental organisations, drug and device makers, digital health startups and sector experts.</span></p>
<h4><b>What the Polish embassy said</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Agata Wadowska, Chargee d&#8217;affaires a.i. of the <a href="https://www.gov.pl/web/tunisie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Embassy of Poland in Tunis</a> , opened the session. She set out how economic diplomacy supports Polish firms abroad. New technologies, biotechnology included, are a stated priority of the Polish government and of European institutions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She then placed the two countries side by side. Poland ranks sixth in the Digital Decade eHealth Indicator Study 2025. That puts it among the most advanced European countries in health system digitisation. Tunisia holds a similar position in its own region. The embassy said it expects this first meeting to produce lasting partnerships.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That framing matters for a Tunisian cluster. It positions the country as a peer rather than a destination market.</span></p>
<h4><b>What the day produced</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The day ran in four blocks. An institutional session opened it. Then came an exchange on digital health priorities in Tunisia, expert talks, and pitches from the European firms. B2B meetings filled the rest of the day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More than 100 matchmaking meetings were held. The mission then moved to Monastir on 26 March. French startups spent a day there with clinicians and researchers at the Faculty of Medicine. We cover that day in<a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/digital-health-innovation-day-monastir-2026/"> Digital Health Innovation Day in Monastir</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the European firms, the week worked as a soft landing. They met distributors, clinicians, regulators and possible partners in five days. That first step usually takes a year.</span></p>
<h4><b>What we take from it</b></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr Haroun Ouanes, Director of HealthCare Innovation, summed up the outcome. &#8220;E-HealthNAx confirms Tunisia&#8217;s ability to connect European innovation with the real needs of the Tunisian and North African markets, and to open new horizons for collaboration.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Three conclusions stand out.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regulatory readiness decides who converts. Firms who arrived with a compliance file moved faster than firms who arrived with a demo alone. We set out what that file requires in <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/software-medical-device-regulation-tunisia/">Software as a Medical Device: Tunisia&#8217;s regulatory blind spot </a></span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Traffic runs both ways. Two weeks earlier, four Tunisian startups took Tunisian innovation to Paris. WejdenSpire, ProovLab, NormSafety and MedGalaxis attended the MedInTechs congress on 9, 10 and 11 March 2026.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Embassies open doors a cluster cannot open alone. The Polish group came through a channel built by the embassy and an accelerator.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">HealthCare Innovation will use the same route for the next groups. Firms preparing a North African market entry can start with our <a href="https://healthcareinnovation.tn/service/clusters-incubators/">Clusters and incubators services </a></span></p>
