Periodic Reporting for period 2 - ODIN (Leveraging AI based technology to transform the future of health care delivery in Leading Hospitals in Europe)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2022-03-01 do 2023-02-28
In the past years, hospitals were the main health care providers, also in terms of health expenditure , accounting for 50% of the NHS costs in EU countries. Today hospitals are called to improve their efficiency and increase their productivity while increasing quality and safety. However, this cannot be an untaught linear cut. For instance, in Europe, the number of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds per million of habitants was cut from 10,000 beds in 1990 to less than 4k in 2020. Although this responded to the unneglectable need to invest on territorial care in response to democratic challenges, this left EU Hospital completely unprepared to the current COVID-19 pandemics. Hospital cuts should be accompanied (if not preceded) by substantial organizational restructuring, leveraging on innovative technologies. Several efforts have been already made to improve patients’ satisfaction and to increase the efficiency of care, by re-organizing health and care structures as well as providing better treatments.
ODIN is a European multi-centre pilot study focused on the enhancement of hospital safety, productivity and quality. This project will contribute to the implementation of the European Smart Hospitals of the Future.
The main objective is to deliver an open digital platform, supporting a suite of services and Key Enabling Resources (KERs) empowered by robotics, Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and specialized AI. These resources will be implemented in three Reference Areas of Hospital Interventions: workers, robots and medical locations and will be tested through seven Clinical User Cases in leading hospitals of six European countries: Spain, France, Germany, Poland Netherlands and Italy.
The platform will gather information and data from the participating hospitals and through high levels of AI, it will enable Problem Perception, Cognitive Reasoning and Knowledge Optimization. The utilization of the resulting data will translate into an optimized management and innovative products and services, enabling Value-Based Healthcare and fostering an open innovation approach between hospital partners and industrial partners to collaborate with research institutions, academia and regulatory experts, bridging the gap between healthcare suppliers and providers.
This overall objective will be supported by the following specific objectives:
O1 To deliver an open and secure decentralized platform, supporting a suite of federated services and KEY ENABLING RESOURCES (KERs) empowered by robotic solutions, augmented by IoT environments, and enhanced by extensible specialized AI.
O2 To build a dynamic and collaborative co-creation mechanism for Innovative Procurement Journey - IPJ between healthcare suppliers and providers, identifying, understanding and specifying health care challenges and needs in terms of functional requirements, to guarantee the delivery and scale-up of innovative services that are accepted, safe, trusted and compliant with current standards and rules, according to national and European legal frameworks.
O3 To implement a federated multi-centre longitudinal cohort study demonstrating the safety, effectiveness, and the cost-effectiveness of the ODIN Key Enabling Resources and platform, while assessing the impact, scalability, interoperability and innovation potential for other domains.
O4 To set up a communication and dissemination program and an exploitation strategy to reach a critical mass of users and business partners to allow the ODIN solutions to be delivered, DURING and AFTER the project lifetime

ODIN is a 42-month project that evolves through four phases designed to deliver a set of incremental innovations aiming at reaching the market and scaling-up in the shorter possible time. This journey will help merging the Functional Requirements of smart hospital partners (here called the DEMAND) with the innovation resources and technical solution of industrial partners (here called OFFER). Such a dual ambition will generate: 1) the ODIN platform “sustainable by design”; 2) empower a soliciting smart hospital innovation mechanism driven by clinical-scientific third parties (universities and research centres), to define functional spec for smart hospital innovation pathway; 3) empower an innovation deployment mechanism based on smart hospital functional and organizational need; 4) identify current barriers (e.g. regulatory, economic, certification, ethical) that may hinder the update of ODIN technologies if not properly considered during this journey; 5) enlarge the OFFER solution portfolio and business competitive approach. On such a basis the project will address the goal to contribute to set-up the European Innovative Smart Hospital Procurements Space. Such ODIN Innovation Procurement Journey – IPJ has the ambition to structure the innovation pathway to adopt Smart Hospital organization for ODIN partners and other European Hospital and Business in the future.
Phase 1 (M1-M12): Needs and Catalogue.
Phase 2 (M08-24): Designing Solution Intervention.
Phase 3 (M18-36): Implementation.
Phase 4 (M30-42): Innovative Procurement and Product Packaging.
Structurally the project is organized in 10 highly interlinked work packages (WP), forming three main groups: 1) Operational WPs: WP2, WP3, WP4, WP5, WP6 will provide, driven by WP2, the user-led innovations to build the different ODIN components and IoT, Robotics and AI solutions of the platform, delivered to WP3-WP6. 2) Open innovation WPs: WP7 and WP10 uses the results of operational work packages to verify and evaluate the benefits of the ODIN platform in the different pilots, continuously supported and complemented by WP10 delivering the open innovation approach. 3) Supporting WPs: WP1, WP8 and WP9 provide support to all the work packages and project as a whole. WP1 deals with the project management, WP8 addresses standardization and certification, and WP9 on impact maximization activities, resulting in European-led outreach of ODIN’s innovation.

ODIN will deploy a unique platform for enhancing clinical and logistic tasks employing advanced technologies along three Areas of Intervention relying on state-of-the-art components pervasively distributed in the hospitals enabling bidirectional transfer of information between ODIN innovative solutions and other hospital information systems, accessing different resources at different organizational scales, within and beyond the hospital. This will include daily activities, providing the optimal reactions to specific events (i.e. example for clinical, example for management, example for logistics) and exceptional events (e.g. facilitate the hospital reorganization in case of future pandemic events such as COVID). Day-to-day information will be shared between hospital departments, with the hospital territory, and even among different European hospitals. This will contribute to the consolidation of the European Data Space, as per EU data strategy, facilitating future EU responses to extraordinary events and common initiatives for public-health interventions.
