The HosmartAI project – “Hospital Smart development based on AI” has announced the launch of its Open Call #1 – INNOVATE Call for Tech, with a total budget of €200k available to Startups/SMEs.

INNOVATE is the first of the two Open Calls planned in the HosmartAI project. In this first call for proposals, the project aims to enlarge a pool of health-interoperable technologies, by engaging innovative tech Startups/SMEs in the design, development and integration of their technological product/service into HosmartAI’s ecosystem.

HosmartAI will select the best four proposals and empower them to develop high value and impactful technology, employing the HosmartAI ecosystem and technologies. Through a 6-month programme, experts in diverse fields will provide selected Startups/SMEs technical support, access to HosmartAI architecture, up to €50k equity-free funding, visibility and the opportunity to work with innovative European healthcare stakeholders.

How does it work?

Startups/SMEs can apply to solve particular HosmartAI challenges, or bring 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 top four proposals will be invited to join the programme comprising 3-sprints, each sprint with a two-months period duration: design (sprint 1), development (sprint 2) and integration (sprint 3) of the AI technology within the HosmartAI ecosystem.

Applications close on the 8th of April

The INNOVATE Open Call will receive applications from the 8th of February to the 8th of April 2022 at 17:00 CET, via the F6S platform at https://www.f6s.com/hosmartai-open-call1 .

Startup/SME must be legally established in an EU Member State, H2020 associated countries or Overseas Countries and Territories (OCT) linked to the Member States, in order to be eligible.
