Call
Summary
This call can support innovative technologies ranging from the sensor level up to the system level for effective integration of multimodal data.
Proposals can aim at monitoring a family of conditions or a wider mix of health factors, using the optimal combination of single-point or historic multi-point sensor data and, if appropriate, clinical records, genomic data, etc. to realise maximal performance. Involvement of relevant stakeholders (e.g., clinical experts and patient organizations) from an early stage is recommended. The gender dimension in research content should be considered, where relevant as well as the involvement of relevant stakeholders (e.g. clinical practitioners, patient organisations, etc.) from an early stage.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals submitted to this EIC Pathfinder Challenge should tackle the following specific objectives:
- develop a novel technology (device, instrument or full system)for unobtrusive proactive healthcare. The targeted technology should offer life-long health status monitoring and elements of predictive medicine with methodologies grounded in existing scientific evidence;
- the end objective must be a Proof-of-Concept and preliminary data suggestive of adequate safety and performance, while paying attention to minimising false positives that could hamper its real-world use;
- the targeted technology should make the case for a clinically acceptable solution amenable to successful evaluation under common Health Technology Assessment (HTA) methodologies;
- the path to future integration in the European healthcare workflow, specifically in relation to the inter-operability with existing infrastructures, as well as take up and compliance by appropriate patient populations, should be plausible.
