News Item – 10 November 2018

The 2nd Open call for SMEs was launched as part of the Innolabs project. The focus was on innovative projects in personalised healthcare seeking applications from SMEs belonging to the Health or Biomedicine sector. In  collaboration with the IT sector the aim is to develop cross-sectoral health solutions that will bring society closer to the next generation healthcare system.

2. Augmented Reality for personalised care – Using bioinformatics and developing data collection/integration and analysis software supporting precision and personalised medicine.

3. Biotech for healthy ageing – Using innovative biotechnologies for proactive prevention and advanced personalized therapies, and specifically in two core areas: (i) Microbiome solutions to support healthy living an ageing.  (ii) affordable solutions with cutting edge sequencing methods and analytical techniques (eg: for cancer treatment).
