Health EU launches its Manifesto to unify Digital Healthcare in Europe!

Health EU initiative makes important steps towards strategic recognition and launches today its Manifesto.

In a competition with many excellent projects, and, as a result of the 2nd phase evaluation of Coordination and Support Actions for FET Flagships, Health EU was recognized as the leading project on Human Avatars and Digital Healthcare and is currently in a potential position for future funding.

Health EU management is looking with strong conviction into a bright future of an European mission on creating the first European Integrative Human Avatar Platform under the umbrella of Digital Healthcare enabled by Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things.

Health EU launched the Health EU Manifesto (pdf) to unify all forces in medicine, biology, social sciences and engineering Europe under the visionary concept of Human Avatars for personalized, preventive and participatory healthcare.

Health EU invites all interested universities, research institutes, hospitals, industries and citizen/patient associations and other stakeholders to sign the Manifesto as an expression of direct support!

ORCHID interim roadmap report proudly presented

The ORCHID team was proud to present the first interim roadmap report entitled: ‘Organ-on-Chip in Development: Towards a European roadmap for Organ-on-Chip’ during the International Organ-on-Chip Symposium on November 8-9 2018 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

This report surveys the current landscape in the research, development, applications and market opportunities for Organ-on-Chip devices to establish the pillars of a European OoC ecosystem. Based on a bibliometric study, a market analysis, expert interviews, and panel discussions held at the ORCHID Vision Workshop (Stuttgart, 23 May 2018), this report outlines presently unmet needs, key challenges, barriers and perspectives of the field, and finally proposes recommendations towards the definition of a European roadmap that could render OoC systems (OoCs) realistic models of human (patho)physiology in the near future.
