We are launching NOVA, our hub to drive innovation in healthcare

We are adding a practice dedicated to structuring innovation with method, artificial intelligence and a focus on results, built around the challenges of the healthcare sector.
At K2BHealth we are announcing the creation of NOVA, our innovation hub: an initiative aimed at helping healthcare organisations turn ideas into concrete, measurable results. It arrives in a sector where the pressure to innovate coexists with demands for rigour, traceability and evidence that few industries face with such intensity.
Against that backdrop, understanding the trends setting the direction of digital health makes it possible to spot innovation opportunities with better judgement, prioritising initiatives that are viable, measurable and aligned with the real challenges organisations face.
Behind the launch lies a field observation: many organisations have ideas, talent and willingness, but lack a system that sustains innovation once the initial momentum fades. We designed NOVA precisely to close that gap.
A four-phase framework
Our method articulates four stages — Navigate, Originate, Validate and Activate — that make it possible to prioritise where to innovate, formulate viable proposals, test them against real evidence and bring them into operations with named owners and explicit metrics. For a sector like healthcare, where poorly validated decisions carry high costs, that logic of rigorous validation before scaling is particularly relevant.
Our team combines innovation consultants, technology experts, artificial intelligence specialists and professionals with a business perspective. Technology is in our DNA, which lets us connect what each organisation already knows how to do with what the health sector demands today.
“In organisations looking to innovate, the ideas, the talent and the intent are almost always there. What is missing is a system that sustains innovation when the initial momentum dies down. NOVA is that system,” says Marie-France Bourgeois, Marketing and Innovation Manager at NOVA / K2BHealth.
Services
We offer a portfolio covering AI-assisted assessments, full incubation processes, innovation governance, executive workshops and technology enablement. Two stand out: the NOVA Opportunity Sprint, ideal for organisations looking to identify and prioritise an initiative ready to incubate, and the NOVA Exploratory Innovation Lab, designed for large organisations and public bodies with deeper strategic needs.
This offering complements K2BHealth’s digital transformation services, aimed at assessing an organisation’s technological maturity, identifying opportunities for improvement and defining digital roadmaps aligned with its institutional objectives.
We have also formed an alliance with a consultancy that is an international reference in corporate innovation and entrepreneurship, complementing our method with practices validated in global markets to design business models that are sustainable, repeatable and scalable.
