A complete digital platform dedicated to the screening and care of presymptomatic autoimmune Type 1 diabetes
EIT Health, in partnership with Sanofi and Université Paris Cité, is launching a new challenge to accelerate innovation in Type 1 diabetes (T1D) care. The goal is to empower individuals to take charge of their health while advancing research and clinical care through a digital platform composed of a dashboard and a registry of patients—from pre-screening to the clinical stages of T1D.
We are looking for innovative solutions that address at least one of the following areas:
Topic A) Expanding access to T1D pre-screening and streamlining the patient journey
This challenge invites solutions that will form the core of a digital platform, enabling seamless care navigation and longitudinal monitoring for individuals at risk of T1D. Solutions may include:
- Digital health tools that enhance multidisciplinary collaboration through centralised systems and streamlined workflows.
- Improved care coordination through the integration of multimodal data, reducing provider workload and delays in diagnosis.
- Interoperability with existing databases, cohorts, or registries.
- AI-powered early warning systems that analyse clinical histories and symptom patterns for early-stage detection.
- Features such as e-consent, patient referrals, active case management, follow-up calendars, decision trees, appointment booking, and automatic reminders.
Topic B) Supporting long-term patient management and personalised care
We welcome complementary solutions that enrich the patient journey and strengthen support for healthcare professionals. These may include:
- Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) for tracking real-time symptom fluctuations and tailoring interventions.
- Secure integration of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) for holistic and real-time patient management.
- Tools that provide insight into behavioural patterns, hospitalisations, and medication adjustments to detect signs of clinical onset.
- Features that help track lifestyle habits—such as diet, stress, and physical activity—enabling more proactive disease management.
- Integration or connectivity with existing T1D apps to improve patient engagement and continuity of care.
By integrating digital tools, AI, and real-world data, this challenge aims to lay the groundwork for a proactive, personalised, and scalable approach to T1D care and research—driving better outcomes from the earliest stages.
