Objectif Medication errors are the most common cause of adverse events in medication practice, although they are preventable. Only in Europe, prescription error rates range from 7.5% to 9.1% of the total managed medicines, representing a major public health issue, as some of those can even be fatal. They also represent a great economic burden to healthcare systems, with annual costs reaching €4.5B to €21.8B depending on the country. MedAware’s founders decided to take action on the theme in 2012, when they found out that a nine-year-old boy died simply because his primary care physician accidentally selected the wrong drug, on his electronic prescribing pull-down list. By realising that current solutions completely failed to save this boy, the team started developing several proof-of-concept algorithms that became our first prototype and then MedAS (MedAware Alerting System). MedAS is an innovative patient-specific Clinical Decision Support System, that identifies and alerts on prescription errors in real-time, and with greater than 80% accuracy. It utilizes big-data analytics and advanced machine learning to identify statistical outliers and to generate precise alerts that would otherwise be missed by existing CDSS. MedAS’s effectiveness has already been proven both in retrospective trials and in real medical facilities in Israel and the USA: we improved patient safety, outcomes, and experience while dramatically reducing healthcare costs. Enabled by our next generation technology and given MedAS’s unique capabilities, we now intend to build a solid technology platform and to deploy it to the European market. The main objective of the feasibility study is to assess MedAS from technical, commercial and financial perspectives. We will seize the opportunity to enter the constantly growing CDSS market (€51.8M in Europe by 2018) with our novel technology and platform, and estimate revenues of €22.1M by 2024, with a ROI of 8.9 Champ scientifique medical and health scienceshealth sciencespublic healthmedical and health sciencesbasic medicinepharmacology and pharmacypharmaceutical drugsnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdata sciencebig datanatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligencemachine learning Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.1.1. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Main Programme H2020-EU.2.3.1. - Mainstreaming SME support, especially through a dedicated instrument Thème(s) SMEInst-01-2016-2017 - Open Disruptive Innovation Scheme Appel à propositions H2020-SMEInst-2016-2017 Voir d’autres projets de cet appel Sous appel H2020-SMEINST-1-2016-2017 Régime de financement SME-1 - SME instrument phase 1 Coordinateur MEDAWARE LTD Contribution nette de l'UE € 50 000,00 Adresse 10 ZARHIN ALEXANDER 4366238 RAANANA Israël Voir sur la carte PME L’entreprise s’est définie comme une PME (petite et moyenne entreprise) au moment de la signature de la convention de subvention.
