6thSense Asset Valorisation Action

Project description

Innovative solution to keep first responders safe

In extreme environments, first responders face life-threatening conditions where the monitoring of their vital signs is crucial for their safety. Existing systems often fall short in providing real-time data. This gap poses risks to both responders and those they seek to protect. With this in mind, the EU-funded 6SAVA project emerges as a strategic coordination support action, building upon the advancements of the Horizon 2020 project SIXTHSENSE. Specifically, 6SAVA aims to propel the latter project’s innovations to market, focusing on Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia. Harnessing Industry 4.0 technology, it introduces a health monitoring device for demanding manufacturing jobs and a comprehensive IT solution for firefighter operational management. Overall, 6SAVA seeks to enhance technology uptake and drive regional innovation.

Objective

"6SAVA, or ""6thSense Asset Valorisation Action"", is a strategic coordination support action aimed at propelling the mature outcomes of the H2020 project SIXTHSENSE to a wider market. SIXTHSENSE developed an innovative system for monitoring vital parameters of first responders in extreme environments, reaching TRL5.
6SAVA focuses on a streamlined version of SIXTHSENSE to drive the commercialization of mature assets in Republic of Serbia (RS), Croatia (HR), and Bosnia and Herzegovi, leveraging national and regional funding. This initiative empowers core SIXTHSENSE partners to capitalize on their results in the regional context.
The project harnesses two distinct assets: 1) An Industry 4.0 Health Monitoring Device ensures employee safety in physically demanding manufacturing jobs, starting from cement, petrochemical, and paper industries. 2) Comprehensive IT Solution for Firefighter Operational Management, with potential for generalisation and application across the civil protection sector.
The primary objective of 6SAVA is to align technology specifications with the national smart specialization strategies (S3) and needs of local industrial actors. It will result in crafting high-quality applications for national/regional funding to support advancing these technologies toward market readiness, and enhancing technology uptake within the targeted regions.
This will be achieved through workshops to engage stakeholders from the industry, national institutions responsible for cohesion policy and funding, and technology innovation drivers (universities and RTO).
Additionally 6SAVA will drive knowledge transfer and technological adoption in HR, RS and BA through targeted activities developed by TECNALIA, a leading European innovation center.
6SAVA's ultimate goal is to amplify the impact of SIXTHSENSE innovations, creating a positive ripple effect throughout the region's technological landscape."
