RELIEFRECOVERING LIFE WELLBEING THROUGH PAIN SELF-MANAGEMENT
TECHNIQUES INVOLVING ICTs GA -689476, PCP http://relief-chronicpain.eu/
RELIEF aims to link European health procurers in order to create the innovative and sustainable solutions that will improve chronic pain control/relieve through ITC self-management techniques.
Chronic pain diseases is costing to healthcare systems annually over €300bn in Europe; 1.5%-3% of GDP.. This has been identified as important drivers of avoidable healthcare costs. However, it has been estimated that nine-tenths of the burden of pain may fall on the broader society. Even small increases in the effectiveness of pain management reap large economic rewards.
More than half of patients with acute or chronic pain are not well treated even though the existing therapeutic options have confirmed effective results. eHealth solutions must achieve greater comparability between systems, patients and protocols, so as to reach more effective and efficient procedures.
At present, there is a wide range of high-tech devices aimed at treating pain in its many facets and complexity. But it is still necessary to cover the gap between Research and Commercialization of new products and devices.
RELIEF will foster and accelerate the access to market for innovative solutions, while respecting the public procurement directives. The project will contribute to boost innovative tools that empower the patient to self-manage current and future pains.

ANTISUPERBUGSGA: 688878Anti-SUPERBugs PCP main objective is to support and finance private R&D activities in the field of advanced ICT solutions, aimed at detecting micro‐organisms that may determine the incurrence of hospital-acquired infections and control the diffusion of infections within healthcare providers. This will both address the needs of healthcare providers in increasing HAIs (Hospital Acquired Infections) control and contribute in the development of a new stream of products in the life science and medical device industries.
Specific objectives include:
- improve the quality and reduce the costs of collateral effects of the care process in hospital, through the development of prototype of ICT services aimed at detecting superbugs and other HAIs vectors. The developed systems will also inform professionals of the risk of infection by the use of signal through different forms, as sound or coloured-light alarms;
- the creation and consolidation of an pan-European network of procurers, who putting in common their needs and efforts can enable the development of novel technologies aimed to cover bigger market challenges in areas of common European interest. The economic dimension will have a major impact on the definition of the project since, bigger is the market where the companies can sell their product, lower is expected to be the price for the procurers and end-users on the final end-products;
- the definition of the cross-border and joint pre-commercial public procurement procedure that best meets Anti-SUPERBugs PCP procuring authorities’ needs and that addresses the major societal challenge selected,  either the support to early detection and of antibiotic-resistant bacteria or the support to health-care associated infections preventions;
- the mutual learning, knowledge sharing and transferring within the consortium and across different fields, technologies and procurement disciplines (social, economic, legal, technical) and EU countries.

STARSSTARS: Empowering Patients by Professional Stress Avoidance and Recovery Services (GA:727585)STARS will invite the industry to tender to develop personalised eHealth solutions in order to reduce stress related to healthcare procedures (see amount of stress experienced for planned surgery in figure 1). Reduction of the stress, experienced by patients, will lower the harmful side-effects of sedating drugs, shorten hospital stay, shorten recovery time and relieve carers and related persons from continuous assistance. The eHealth solution will target the reduction of healthcare related stress as early as in the preclinical phase, proceeding through hospitalization until the end of the aftercare period (see figure 2). The solution will have to combine the experience of caregivers with the empowerment of the patients to actively influence the process by expressing their state of mind and needs.3.260.000€The open market consultation will be held at least in English in the following countries: italy - Ancona, 18.1.2018; Germany - Mülheim an der Ruhr, 24.1.2018; The Netherlands - Maastricht, 25.1.2018; Spain - Cordoba, 31.1.2018; Spain - Barcelona, 2.2.201748OMC openinfo@stars-pcp.eunov 2017

PROEMPOWERProcuring innovative ICT for patient empowerment and self-management for type 2 diabetes mellitus (GA: 727409)Public procurers in ProEmpower aim to procure a disease self-management solution to help meet the imminent threat of a diabetes epidemic. ProEmpower will make person-centred care reality - giving the patient the steering wheel - for optimal health outcomes. Very significant synergies will be reaped by supporting all 10 action areas of diabetes management in an integrated ICT solution. Early detection, personal decision support, self management and peer support are to be delivered from a platform with full interoperable and secure access to the necessary devices and health records. ProEmpower will apply the internationally acclaimed Chronic Care Model to specify support needs for type 2 diabetes at all stages. Self-management and treatment will be supported by personalised guidelines and making the best use of clinical data. In this way a quality culture in healthcare will be fostered and learning healthcare systems made reality.
Suppliers will be rigorously evaluated after each of the four procurement phases, comprising (I) an open market consultation supported by the European eHealth Competition, (II) specification of architecture and system aligned to requirements of patients, peers and providers, (III) prototype development and testing with end-users and (IV) effectiveness proven in a trial with 200 patients and 40 professionals.
Fully rolled out in the four countries, enabled by procurers with the authority and capacity in their countries and regions, ProEmpower will serve 12 million diabetes patients.
Reductions in diabetes-related death, amputation, blindness and renal failure promise cost relief of € 53 billion over 7 years in the four countries. Suppliers can expect a turnover of € 5 billion a year. Proven ability to cover the four different health systems promises ProEmpower suppliers easy entry into other EU markets and beyond, a very strong contribution to overcoming fragmentation of demand and fostering the global market.
