Project description
Enabling rapid disease diagnosis at the point-of-care
Infectious diseases remain a major threat to public health and diagnosing them quickly is crucial. However, centralised labs often face delays, making it hard to provide fast results in rural or remote areas. This gap in timely diagnosis affects both human and animal health, as well as food safety. Efficient solutions are needed to bring testing closer to the people who need it most. In this context, the EU-funded DxHub project aims to address this challenge by building a strong ecosystem for rapid, on-site disease diagnosis. Focused on Crete, Greece, and Oeiras, Portugal, the project will connect these regions, combining research, innovation and investment. By linking academia, businesses and local communities, DxHub will develop new solutions to improve diagnostics in the health, veterinary and agri-food sectors.
Objective
The aim of DxHub is to develop a strong ecosystem that mutually reinforces actors from two widening countries to consolidate individual efforts and allow for rapid and on the spot accurate diagnosis of infectious diseases within One-Health. The ecosystems in Crete, GR and the Oeiras region, PT, have already demonstrated a rich portfolio of activities to tackle the problem of efficient diagnosis outside a centralized lab. The DxHub will bring the two isolated regions together and, through a common R&I plan, accelerate innovations in diagnostics into impactful solutions by embracing the quadruple helix of main innovation players. Cutting-edge R&Is will be promoted based on joint research, innovation and investment plans. Pilot projects will be used to interlink academia with business providing solutions addressing the health, veterinary and agri/food sectors, all in line with both regions’ strategic priorities. In parallel, the efficient communication, dissemination and exploitation of the DxHub outcomes to the broad ecosystem will ensure high societal impact as a result of the co-development and acceptance of the new innovations by all actors of the quadruple helix. We expect that by building strong links between all payers of DxHub will foster knowledge transfer leading to the creation of new jobs and of attractive and sustainable place-based innovation ecosystems.
