Only a week after the start of the Tour de France in Florence it was time to launch the ROOMMATE project in the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany. For this launch all partners from 4 EU countries (Italy, Swiss, Romania and the Netherlands) gathered in Florence at Fondazione Don Gnocchi. After a round of introduction and tour through the centre, there was time to prepare with each other the first activities of the project. The project acknowledges the need to focus our research on rehabilitation ecosystems as real contextualisation of technology in physical rehabilitation care is still lacking. Within ROOMMATE we address the barriers including sustainability issues, lack of accessibility, lack of appropriate infrastructure, and lack of digital skills of end users. Therefore the primary aim of ROOMMATE is to develop, implement and test a sustainable rehabilitation ecosystem, to innovate stroke rehabilitation pathways. ROOMMATE is our first project within the Transforming Health and Care Systems (#THCS) partnership, a cofund action under the Horizon Europe Programme. Within this project RRD will work mainly on the technical and organisational integration of the chosen healthcare technology. For a proper organisational integration we will together with all stakeholders, and we will develop patient journeys and service models. Both will also be the starting point for an extended societal impact assessments for two care systems (Italy and Romania). The following partners are part of the ROOMMATE consortium: * Fondazione Don Gnocchi (Florence, IT) * Medea Project (Florence, IT) * Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale from the Università degli Studi di Firenze (Florence, IT) * Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy (Bucharest, RO) * TU Delft (Delft, NL) * Roessingh Research and Development (Enschede, NL) * Emovo Care (Lausanne, CH) #project #kickoffmeeting #patientjourney #servicemodel #stakeholderinvolvement #societalimpact #healthcare #technology #rehabilitation #stroke

Universiteit Twente (UT) TechMed Centre and EL-IPS Awarded Interreg Europe "Project HERCULES" - Kick-off in Spring 2024 The UT's TechMed and EL-IPS have been awarded the prestigious Interreg project HERCULES, a comprehensive initiative to enhance the innovation performance of European healthcare systems. The project, entitled HERCULES (Health Empowerment through Regional Collaboration by Fostering Innovation from the Demand Side), focuses on a collaborative effort among various regions, each represented by a project partner responsible for managing the project in their region. HERCULES is led by PM4gov Galician Health Knowledge Agency (ACIS) - Lead Partner (Spain). The other partners are, besides UT, the Regional Development Fund of Attica (Greece), the City of Aarhus (Denmark), the Region Västerbotten (Sweden), the Regione Emilia-Romagna (Italy), and Szpital im. Św. Jadwigi Śląskiej w Trzebnicy (Poland) Main Phase Objectives: The main phase of HERCULES encompasses three primary objectives: identifying innovation needs and market operators, selecting innovative #healthcare #solutions, and evaluating the #impact of these solutions. A series of interregional learning events will be conducted, focusing on diverse thematic areas related to #healthcare #innovation, #personalised #medicine, and fostering #collaboration among #stakeholders. The project includes benchmarking and good practices identification, with a defined methodology by the Advisory Partner. The team intends to identify European best practices, develop a benchmarking tool for measuring innovation performance, and enhance policy instruments supporting healthcare innovation. Communication and stakeholder engagement are integral components of HERCULES. The project team will implement #knowledge-#sharing strategies using online and traditional media channels. Stakeholder engagement will involve regional authorities, universities, and researchers in various project phases. The follow-up phase focuses on monitoring policy implementation and impact. Partners will ensure stakeholder engagement, review and update the communication strategy, and organize webinars to report policy improvements. The final conference will celebrate project results, with UT providing advisory support throughout. We will contribute expertise in PPI and PCP, capability building, and innovative technologies for personalised medicine. UT will advise on methodologies, assist in analysing and selecting best practices, and provide guidance on inter-organisational workshops. Toward the project's end, UT will facilitate deeper exchanges among partners and verify the achievement of policy improvements. UT is committed to advancing the project's objectives and contributing to improving healthcare innovation across Europe. The HERCULES project marks a significant milestone in fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and policy improvement to benefit European healthcare systems. More info? Contact dr. Klaas Stek
