Risultati finali

Documents, reports (8)

Dissemination, exploitation & communication plan

This plan will outline the activities that will be undertaken by DICE to effectively promote the project, distribute its results and ensure these results are exploited (Task 1.1).

Final nudging strategies

Final nudging strategies: 1 for On Body Drug Delivery System and 3 for a smart pill box. The harvest document with concepts for the to be designed prototypes, including a storyboard, showing the thought process walked through during the nudgingthons. (Task 4.1)

Project handbook

Document detailing the administrative procedures, describing guidelines and templates for financial and technical reporting, as well as for pilots (T7.2).

Update of dissemination, exploitation & communication plan

A review and update of the dissemination, exploitation and communication plan produced in D1.2 to reflect progress and evolution of the project. (Task 1.1)

Report on Stakeholder Engagement - Status report

This report will include information about stakeholder identification, classification and engagement activities. (Task 1.3)

Circular digital health business model

A report detailing the results of the literature review and field analyses on current state-of-the-art circular digital health business models across Europe and beyond, with a specific taxonomy and templates for (inter)national implementation. (Task 6.1)

Assessment of critical raw materials content and recycling yields for digital health devices

The report will include the results from recycling tests on On Body Drug delivery Systems and ECG lead sets. Additionally, results from the exploratory assessment of critical raw materials content in at least the endocutter, On Body Drug delivery System, and ECG lead sets will be discussed (Task 3.5).

Best practices: Circular Digital Health Devices

This report will present a comprehensive overview of the best circular digital health devices in the world, create an overview of barriers that hamper the circularity of many digital health devices, and list opportunities for improvement (based on fast track life cycle analysis and circularity assessment) (Task2.1).

Data Management Plan (2)

Data management plan

Report outlining measures for data management according to the FAIR principles. It will be updated regularly, whenever considered relevant. (Task 7.2)

Mid-project data management plan

Updated report outlining measures for data management according to FAIR principles. (Task 7.2)

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (4)

Demonstration of refurbishment process and technologies for refurbishment of the ePaper labels, not subject to EU MDR

A report on the refurbishment process and technologies for refurbishment of the ePaper labels (Task 3.3)

Sensor-based universal collection box technology demonstration

A report on the demonstration activities and results of the universal collection box technology (Task 1.3, 3.3)

Digital application connecting the collection boxes with the reverse logistics chain

A report on the application connecting the collection boxes with the reverse logistics chain to optimise operations, integration with nudging schemes and collection and management of data (Task 1.3, Task 3.3)

Recycling technology & optimised processes developed to improve recycling yields for digital health devices.

A report including the recycling technology & optimised processes developed to improve recycling yields for digital health devices (Task 3.5). More specifically the report will include: overview of recycling technologies or methods and expected (baseline) recovery and recycling rates and yields for the selected digital health devices; Identification of new technologies and processes for improving recyclability, achieving the highest recovery and recycling rates; Quantified measures of improvement in recycling/recovery yields.
