Open innovation as a bridge between corporates and startups.  

Open innovation is key to connecting the challenges of large corporations with the agility and creativity of startups.
And last week, at the RETECH Innovation Forum organized by the Community of Madrid, we experienced it firsthand.

HEWEGO was selected as the best solution for the health challenge within the Digital Health Node of RETECH Madrid, an initiative that promotes collaboration between established companies and emerging projects with a transformative vision.

Our approach —translating scientific evidence into actionable steps, designing personalized wellbeing journeys, and humanizing technology— was recognized as a distinctive proposal in an environment where innovation and health go hand in hand.

This milestone strengthens our mission: to make digital health reach people in a practical, approachable, and sustainable way.
Because beyond tools or technology, we believe that real change begins with how we accompany, listen to, and empower each person to take better care of themselves.

Innovation with a Personal Touch at Infanta Sofía University Hospital.  

On September 26th, we had the opportunity to experience the Strategic Innovation Gateway first-hand at the Infanta Sofía University Hospital. It wasn’t just another event—it was a space where innovation became tangible and collaboration turned into the true driving force for the future.

HEWEGO at the heart of the experience.

Our colleagues Gonzalo Cámara and Daniel Ordax actively participated in the working groups, analyzing real use cases across different healthcare settings. We witnessed how artificial intelligence, collaboration, and personalized health are no longer promises of the future, but solutions already being applied today to improve the experience of both patients and professionals.

The most inspiring part was seeing how a hospital can become a living ecosystem of innovation. Every idea shared, every prototype, and every proposal brought us closer to a healthcare system that is more human, more connected, and more efficient.

We want to give special thanks to Guillermo Ceñal Pérez and his team for opening this collaborative space, and to all the professionals, startups, and companies that joined us on this journey.

At HEWEGO, we believe innovation is built from lived experiences. This event proved that when visions align and efforts combine, healthcare transformation becomes unstoppable.

Can a startup improve public health?  

Because digital health is not just about sensors, wearables, or apps.

Digital health starts with something more fundamental: how we connect with people, how we build sustainable habits, how we design learning experiences that truly stick.

HEWEGO has been selected to join the Digital Health Node of RETECH Madrid, and we see it as a great opportunity to keep doing what we do best:

• Translating scientific evidence into clear language.
• Turning knowledge into small, actionable steps.
• Designing personalized, realistic… and human wellbeing journeys.

What matters is not the digital part — it’s what you do with it.

In the opening session, chaired by Miguel López-Valverde, the Regional Minister for Digitalization of the Community of Madrid, there was talk about opportunities, collaboration, and how to create impact through open innovation.

We’d like to add one more thought:
Digital health is not an end — it’s a means.
A means for more people to access tools that help them take better care of themselves.
A means for healthcare professionals to find allies who help them support without feeling overwhelmed.
A means for behavior change — those tough, lasting shifts — to find just the right push at just the right time.

Collaborate. Listen. Co-create.

At HEWEGO, we bring to the table our experience designing health content for hospitals, insurance companies, and large organizations.
But above all, we bring our conviction that big changes start with small decisions.

And this decision —joining RETECH Madrid— is one of them.
