Provas de Conceito (PoCs) em Healthtechs e Edtechs: Relato de Boas Práticas
Keywords:
Inovação aberta, provas de conceito (PoCs), ambientes de inovação, edtechs, healthtechsAbstract
O presente artigo apresenta um relato de boas práticas sobre a estruturação e os impactos de programas de Provas de Conceito (PoCs) conduzidos no Tecnopuc, o Parque Científico e Tecnológico da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), através dos hubs temáticos de inovação em educação (EduX) e de inovação em saúde (Biohub). O objetivo é analisar a eficácia de ciclos metodológicos de inovação aberta na validação de tecnologias complexas em ambientes reais e controlados (escolas e hospitais). A metodologia detalha o processo de seleção via: “funil de inovação”; fase de diagnóstico; e execução de testes de viabilidade técnica e usabilidade por um período de 90 dias. Os resultados obtidos nos ciclos de 2024 revelam ganhos expressivos em eficiência operacional nos hospitais parceiros e engajamento pedagógico, evidenciando que a ancoragem institucional promovida pelos hubs mitiga riscos de implementação e acelera a adoção de inovações. Conclui-se que o modelo de PoCs do Tecnopuc atua como uma estratégia de curadoria tecnológica essencial para o desenvolvimento de startups em setores altamente regulados.
