EIT Health: RIS Innovation Projects

EIT Health: RIS Innovation Projects is sponsored by European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). Supports innovation projects in health in regions with lower innovation performance, including those targeting children's health.

RIS Innovation Call - EIT Health EIT Health RIS Innovation Call This innovation call supports the development of local healthcare projects in the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS) region that target one or more of the focus areas below.

The programme aims to bridge the funding gap in several moderately progressing EU countries, as well as to support you in the proof-of-concept phase and to guide you in your EIT Health innovation journey. It offers access to funding, mentoring, training services, and networking opportunities. Team up with your regional EIT Health Hub or Partner, and receive €75,000 euro for your innovation project.

Applications for this programme are now closed. Receive a grant of up to €75. 000 to use in your healthcare project Access seasoned investors and potential partners Receive tailored coaching from our pool of over 400 experts Upskill your knowledge in relevant innovation areas The four Focus Areas offer guidance for anyone preparing a proposal.

All proposals should address one -or more- focus areas. Addressing brain health challenges and focusing on mental health in the workplace is mainly essential. We aim to help people worldwide achieve the best possible.

Brain health is broader than the absence of disease. It includes improving overall cognitive functioning, resilience, and the state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her abilities can cope with the everyday stresses of life, work productively, and contribute to his or her community.

Brain conditions account for a large portion of the global disease burden, a challenge substantially worsened by the COVID-19 crisis, especially since the mental health of manyemployees was at risk. We need to consider how to reduce the threat of infectious diseases more broadly over the next decade.

Humanity has made enormous progress in fighting infectious diseases over the last century by improving hygiene and developing highly successful vaccines and therapeutics. At the same time, effective prevention and treatment of infectious diseases remain a major challenge across geographies.

Equitably and consistently applying proven strategies, novel approaches, and collaborations across countries, populations, and systems to reduce suffering and death from infectious diseases. Fostering Healthier Lives We want to change lifestyle behaviours by creating the tools and incentives for patients that help protect their health, prevent early ageing, reducing disease and disability.

The global disease burden is strongly related to behavioural factors, including dietary choices, sedentary lifestyles, smoking, alcohol, and poor medication adherence. Creating awareness about and changing these behaviours also represents a major opportunity to improve health and well-being. Harnessing Real-World Data We want to exhaust the wealth of healthcare data available across Europe to improve the lives of patients and citizens.

Healthcare data provides rich insight into diseases and, when used efficiently, will open new possibilities. It will deliver prediction models for early diagnosis, enhance treatment, and inform how we can lead healthier lives. We want to exhaust the wealth of healthcare data available across Europe to improve the lives of patients and citizens.

We would all like to help patients; that's not the question. The question is how to make it realistic, and how to make it successful. This is what we have learnt from EIT Health” Eduard Maron, CEO of DocuMental, a unique decision support system, which improves diagnostic and treatment reliability in mental health.

Grant receiving solution, EIT Health RIS Innovation Call 2019 “We benefited significantly from the focus on product market fit. It was invaluable to make initial contacts with the entire European healthcare start-up ecosystem” Marius Rus, Co-founder and CEO of Tully, a wearable device for emotion-monitoring and control for children diagnosed with ADHD.
