Health Innovation West–Infection Control Mapping INFECTION CONTROL Mapping of actors in the field Infection control in West Sweden April 2021, Gothenburg About this report The importance of Infection control Table of Contents The spread of healthcare-associated infections constitutes a major global health issue for patient safety. A health issue that becomes more prominent with increased Introduction p. 2 antimicrobial resistance. Hospital acquired infections are however preventable with the right measures. It is essential for a sustainable healthcare that all patients can Executive summary p. 4 get safe treatment with good hygiene standards. With the rising concerns surrounding healthcare-associated infections, infection prevention and control has become an increasingly more important, and regulated, top priority. A priority that Industry p. 5 has become even more accentuated during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. In this report, infection control is defined relatively broad including approaches and Research & Infrastructure p. 11 solutions that contributes to prevent, diagnose and treat infections, primarily in healthcare settings. Effective infection control calls for joint efforts and cross-sector Collaborative initiatives p. 16 collaboration. Awareness about actors, initiatives, infrastructure etc. with relevance for the area is therefore of high importance to facilitate collaborative efforts, Conclusion p. 22 development and implementation of new smart approaches and solutions to address this global health issue. Appendix: Detailed industry mapping p. 24 Report scope The main purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the industrial actors in Appendix: Supporting organizations p. 27 West Sweden with presence in the area infection control. In addition, the report provides a brief overview of relevant research, initiatives and infrastructure that have Appendix: Methodology and definitions p. 29 particular value for infection control. This is done with the ambition to increase awareness and knowledge about actors and activity within the domain. HEALTH INNOVATION WEST - INFECTION CONTROL MAPPING │ 2 Methodology The data presented in this report has predominantly been gathered via desktop search of externally available data complemented by interactions with selected experts. The report ‘Health Innovation West: Market analysis of cluster strongholds and opportunities’ issued in 2020, has been used as a starting point for the data collection. A primary focus for this report has been to map companies active within infection control with presence in West Sweden. The inclusion criteria for the industry mapping have been relatively broad and inclusive to showcase the wide spectrum of companies active in the area. This means that companies have been included even if only parts of their business is related to infection control. Identified companies have been categorized based on what type of products and Desktop data Area experts solutions they offer or are developing. The list of companies as well as the search categorization has been iteratively reviewed with selected experts in the field. The report also provides an overview of relevant research, initiatives and research infrastructure. However, the reader should note that the information presented in the report is not indented nor claimed to be a fully comprehensive mapping. Instead, this should be seen as an attempt to highlight prominent examples in the region based upon externally available data and information elicited from experts.

  • Lindholm Spotlight
    Introduction Maria Lindholm has always focused on logistics and transportation, but with a specific interest in urban freight transport, as both consultant (e.g. WSP group) and as a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology (with the PhD title: ”Enabling sustainable development of urban freight from a local authority perspective”). Currently, Maria is working as a project manager and research coordinator at Lindholmen Science Park AB in Gothenburg. Maria’s research at Chalmers have focused on solutions for urban freight, e.g. electric vehicles, logistics solutions, regulation, incentives and soft measures such as awareness raising and improving knowledge of stakeholders. Maria have performed research in the area of sustainable urban freight transport, transport policy and the interaction between local authorities and transport operators, with a special interest in freight quality partnerships. Maria is chairing the local freight partnership in Gothenburg and have amongst other things led the work to develop a national roadmap for urban freight transport in Sweden. Professional Background 2012 – present Lindholmen Science Park AB/CLOSER Project management of Urban mobility projects. Responsible for research partners.

    Sustainable transport and mobility solutions Explore smart and sustainable transport and mobility solutions. Green Gothenburg – a part of Smart City Sweden. GOTHENBURG GREEN CITY ZONE Gothenburg Green City Zone is a zone where new technology for both vehicles and infrastructure is tested. The aim is to achieve 100 per cent emission-free transports by 2030, in a functioning infrastructure that enables climate-neutral transportation choices and facilitates everyday life for businesses as well as residents and visitors, in an attractive urban environment. With Gothenburg Green City Zone, Gothenburg will become the first region in the world to develop fully zero-emission as well as scalable transportation solutions at the system level. And everyone is welcome to join in! The initiative was taken jointly by the City of Gothenburg (through Business Region Göteborg), Volvo Cars, and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden. It also involves Chalmers University of Technology, the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg, the Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre, the City of Mölndal and Johanneberg Science Park. AUTOMATION Automation is the process of enabling vehicles to operate independently, without human contact. Examples include drones and self-driving cars. Automated technology is already being used in vehicles today in the form of active safety systems and increased automation will improve traffic safety even more. It also has the potential to improve traffic management flows and reduce congestion. More information The test site AstaZero The research facility Revere World leading testing facility for vehicle safety systems and automated driving AstaZero is the world’s first full-scale independent test site for future safety on the road.
