Webinar goals

The webinar will provide an overview of the activities of the two companies, in cooperation with each other, engaged in the improvement and decision support to the clinician, especially for intensive care. Taking as an example a clinical problem, we will examine how we can realize innovative technological solutions both software and hardware to assist clinicians and get effective predictors able to support the doctor in critical decisions.

Target group

SMEs and start-ups, operating in the healthcare sector.

What we learn from the webinar

• Elements of the process of development of technological innovations in healthcare
• How artificial intelligence can be applied in the healthcare sector and in particular within intensive care departments
• Experiences of an academic technology transfer path: from the patent to the start-up
• Applied research: development of a prototype from TRL4 to TRL7
• The benefits of the supply chain: Research organisation – Start-up – SMEs

Program

• Experience in creating digital-health start-ups in Italy
• Process of creating an innovative new product in healthcare
