Innovative Health Initiative launches first five projects
Addressing cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, and bringing on board sectors as diverse as pharmaceuticals, medical technology, big data and imaging, the projects exemplify IHI’s cross-sector approach
The Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) has launched its first five projects. The projects address key challenges in health research that will benefit from the public-private, cross-sector approach exemplified by IHI. These include the use of big data, imaging and diagnostics to advance cancer diagnosis and treatment, and the creation of digital platforms to improve the care of people with neurodegenerative diseases plus other health problems.
Between them, the new projects have a total budget of EUR 129 million, around half of which comes from Horizon Europe, and half of which comes contributions from the industry partners in the projects and IHI contributing partners.
The projects
- GUIDE.MRD – better blood tests to detect cancer
- IMAGIO – more precise cancer treatments, with limited side effects
- IDERHA – a big data platform to advance lung cancer diagnosis and care
- CLAIMS – taking a holistic view of people with multiple sclerosis
- PROMINENT – a coherent approach to the care of people with Alzheimer’s disease and other health problems
