The HosmartAI – “Hospital Smart development based on AI” project has announced the launch of its first Open Call “INNOVATE Call for Tech”. This first call will have a budget of €200,000 and will be open to startups and SMEs.
INNOVATE is the first of two Open Calls planned in the HosmartAI project. This first funding project is aimed at expanding a group of interoperable technologies in healthcare, involving innovative technology startups/SMEs in the design, development and integration of their technology product/service into the HosmartAI ecosystem.
After the application deadline, the four best proposals will be selected and trained to develop high-value, high-impact technology using HosmartAI’s ecosystem and technologies. Through a 6-month programme, experts in various fields will provide technical support to the selected Startups/SMEs, access to project architecture, up to €50,000 equity-free funding, visibility and the opportunity to work with innovative players in European healthcare.
How does it work?
Startups/SMEs applying for the project will have to choose between solving particular HosmartAI challenges or incorporating a new technology to be integrated into the HosmartAI platform. The projects to be funded under the HosmartAI Open Call #1 INNOVATE must address specific HosmartAI needs and fit into one of the five Open Call topics:
- Topic #1: AI- or data-based services for the healthcare sector enabled by the HosmartAI platform
- Topic #2: Creation of a HL7-FHIR de-identification and pseudonymization tool
- Topic #3: Creation of a federated database system based on a popular open source FHIR Server implementation
- Topic #4: Vector space map with 3D-5D interactive graphic interface
- Topic #5: Data Parsing and Mapping Utility
The four best proposals will be invited to join the programme which consists of 3 sprints, each sprint lasting two months: design (sprint 1), development (sprint 2), and integration (sprint 3) of the AI technology within the HosmartAI ecosystem.
Deadline: 8 April
The INNOVATE Open Call will receive applications from 8 February to 8 April 2022 at 17:00 CET via the F6S Platform. Applicant Startups/SMEs must be legally established in a Member State of the European Union, associated countries under H2020 or Overseas Territories Countries (OCTs) linked to Member States to be eligible.
