Description
A partner is sought for Eurostars R&D project concept to improve early detection of patient deterioration on general wards and during step-down / recovery at home. The idea is to combine continuous, medical-grade multi-parameter wearable monitoring with a risk-stratification layer that supports tiered escalation (advisory vs urgent) and integrates into existing hospital workflows rather than creating a separate “IT island”.
The project’s novelty is the translation of continuous physiological monitoring into an operational early-warning workflow that is practical for hospitals: reliable ingestion of high-frequency wearable data, robust handling of artefacts and dropouts, and standards-based interoperability so that summarised observations/alerts can be written back into the hospital EHR. A clinical partner in Sweden (University/Hospital environment) supports real-world validation and usability/evidence generation.
IPR conditions for the development:
Each consortium party retains ownership of its background IP and will contribute only assets it is entitled to use for the project. Foreground IP will be generated by the respective contributors according to standard Eurostars collaboration practice; interfaces will be defined contractually for project execution, and commercial licensing arrangements (if any) will be agreed after a positive grant decision. A targeted freedom-to-operate check will be performed prior to market launch.

Advantages & Innovation
The project targets earlier and more actionable detection of patient deterioration on general wards and during step-down / recovery at home by combining continuous multi-parameter wearable monitoring with a risk-stratification workflow that supports tiered escalation (advisory vs urgent). The innovation is not only the risk layer itself, but the operationalisation in real hospital practice: robust ingestion of high-frequency streams (incl. artefacts and dropouts) and standards-based interoperability so summarised observations/alerts can be written back into the hospital EHR, enabling adoption without creating a separate “IT island”. Clinical validation in a Swedish university hospital environment supports usability, evidence generation and real-world workflow fit.
Technical Specification
An innovative software SME with proven experience in hospital interoperability and deployment engineering, ideally including:
• HL7 v2 and/or FHIR implementation, specifically EHR write-back of observations/alerts/annotations (not only data ingestion).
• Experience with hospital integration constraints: interface engines, mapping, testing, identity/SSO patterns, routing to clinical channels.
• Security-by-design for healthcare: encryption in transit/at rest, RBAC/SSO, audit logging, operational monitoring, GDPR-aligned processing patterns (ISO 27001 / NEN 7510 experience is a plus).
• Capability to deliver a repeatable “site integration kit” (templates, mapping guides, test scripts, acceptance criteria) to reduce site-specific engineering and speed deployments.
• Ability to work as a genuine R&D co-development partner in Eurostars (not supplier-only), contributing to WP delivery, validation activities and dissemination where appropriate.
