Project Description

SMART-HEALTH-4-ALL – Smart medical technologies for better health and care

Abstract

The SMART-HEALTH-4-ALL project aims to boost, in Portugal, an ecosystem dedicated to the research and development, production, commercialization, and dissemination of medical Smart Health technologies (including medical devices and digital health solutions), based on information, communication, and electronics technologies (TICE) and future and emerging technologies (FET).

In this context, Smart Health solutions, therefore, have enormous market potential, driven also by the continuous developments verified, for example, in TICE, FET, and broadband data connectivity, as well as, at the European level, by Digital Single Market.

The SMART-HEALTH-4-ALL project crosses distinct areas of knowledge, such as medical and health sciences and engineering, as well as crosses high-tech sectors (eg, TICE, nanotechnologies) with other traditional sayings (textiles, footwear, plastics, and furniture), whether productive or services. The project extends from the production of knowledge to the widespread dissemination of the solutions developed, applicable both in the context of formal healthcare provision and in the day-to-day activities of a vast universe of users/patients, with a special focus on socially and economically impacting in the context of the global health market.

From a medical/clinical point of view, the focus is on the prevention, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment/rehabilitation of diseases and other medical conditions, especially those of a chronic nature and/or linked to aging including neurological, cerebral-cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, osteoarticular and diabetes.
