Our Flagships

 

Europe is at a turning point in healthcare. With the rising costs of healthcare delivery, fragmented datasets and the slow adaptation and change of healthcare systems, the time to act is now.  

Reflecting this urgency, EIT Health structures our core business activities across the areas that are most needed: each of our Flagships contributes to some of the top health priorities identified in Europe.

Our Flagship Calls invite our communities, and beyond, to work with us on tackling specific challenges relating to these health priority areas. If you’re seeking funding, collaborators or support to bring your ideas to life, read on to find out more.

Flagship – New Models to Deliver Healthcare

1 of 3

Society is constantly evolving, but healthcare systems can't keep up with our ever-changing needs. This Flagship looks at how we can redefine healthcare models and implement robust analysis of databases in place to establish a foundation for value-based healthcare: one where success measures are based on patient outcomes and a shift from treatment to prevention.

2 of 3

Why is it important? A value-based healthcare system ensures that resources are optimised, patients receive the best possible care and that a proactive approach to health becomes the norm, which ultimately helps to improve individual and societal well-being.

3 of 3

Using patient-reported outcomes and real-world data, projects within this Flagship will aim to convince payors of the value they bring to patients helping to drive changes in standard reimbursement models. This in turn will help to promote the integration of innovative solutions and services into new markets.

    In the Spotlight

    Health Integrator: supporting the prevention of type 2 diabetes.

    To tackle the issue of stretched healthcare budgets in the battle to prevent type 2 diabetes, EIT Health worked with the Health Integrator team on a digital service for those who are at risk of chronic diseases. The platform, which is underwritten by pension funds, using a health impact bond, allows individuals to make lifestyle changes with the support of a health coach, bridging the gap between prevention and reactive healthcare.

Flagship – Digital Transformation of Healthcare

1 of 3

Advanced technology and data utilisation is driving the shift towards digital healthcare to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services. This Flagship aims to support the digital health transformation in Europe and has two focus points: the development of, and access to, digital health medical devices, and the implementation of the European Health Data Space by exploring the secondary use of data.

2 of 3

It will also look at how we train and develop patients, citizens, and healthcare professionals on the importance of using and sharing data and digital tools to enhance the quality-of-care pathways.

3 of 3

Why is it important? Developing digital health medical devices and data sharing play a major part in the digital transformation of healthcare, as it will help unlock the power of datasets and health registries for innovation that results in improved outcomes. Crucially, it will also support patients and citizens to take control of their own health data, with the aim of informing and improving the care they receive.

    Biel Glasses: Smart glasses for the visually impaired

    EIT Health helped Biel Glasses realise their idea through our Patient Innovation Bootcamp. Jaume Puig and his wife, Dr Constanza Lucero, were inspired to innovate by a desire to help their son, Biel, who has low vision, commonly known as tunnel vision. They went on to develop Biel Glasses, which are smart glasses that use 3D vision and artificial intelligence algorithms to detect obstacles for wearers. The solution enables people with low vision to navigate the world more independently, transforming their lives.

The Re-industrialisation of Europe Flagship – IPCEI update

 

The “Supporting the deployment of Important Projects of Common European Interest in Health (IPCEI) to address market failures” initiative will be rolled into the “Re-industrialisation of Europe” Flagship, to be launched next year. It will have an expanded scope, addressing two challenges: a focus on equipping Europe with a strong, innovative and export-friendly healthcare industry, alongside developing lasting and innovative European manufacturing capabilities regarding critical products, notably pharmaceuticals.

A call will be launched in 2024 once the European Commission notifies the EC-selected IPCEI projects to be complemented with the EIT Health partner network.
