Descripción del proyecto
Gestión automatizada de la distribución, dispensación y prescripción de medicamentos
Los hospitales, farmacias e instalaciones sanitarias a largo plazo tienen que afrontar desafíos relativos a la gestión de medicamentos, como la distribución, dispensación y prescripción precisas. Deben garantizar unas existencias suficientes, pero no excesivas, dado que pueden dar lugar al desperdicio de los medicamentos no utilizados. Además, los errores a lo largo de la cadena de suministro pueden repercutir en la seguridad del paciente. La pyme Thula – Nordic Source Solutions, con sede en Islandia, ha desarrollado MØBIUS, una tecnología de «software» que integra prescripciones electrónicas, robots dispensadores automáticos y sistemas de distribución. En comparación con la gestión manual, mejora la precisión y la seguridad de los datos, a la vez que reduce los tiempos, los costes y el desperdicio de recursos. El proyecto MOBIUS, financiado con fondos europeos, permitirá al equipo añadir funcionalidades y realizar un estudio de viabilidad del mercado, que incluye los obstáculos y las formas de superarlos.
Objetivo
Thula is an award-winning IT company based in Iceland with the mission of providing first class e-health solutions for medication management, logistics and electronic exchange of healthcare information. Thula has developed MØBIUS, a unique software solution that can manage the entire medication flow of hospital pharmacies, long-term healthcare facilities or companies providing healthcare services and logistics. Pharmaceuticals account for 20% of overall healthcare expenditures in OECD countries but a significant fraction of this investment could be reduced by eliminating inefficiencies in drug management (e.g. errors in prescription and dispensation; waste of unused medicines). MØBIUS is an integration platform designed to transform medicine management through enhanced automation. By linking different systems in the medication- and logistics loops, MØBIUS dramatically reduces inefficiencies in stock management and increases patient safety and security. MØBIUS integrates Electronic Prescriptions, automated dispensing robots and distribution systems. It also ensures availability of sufficient drugs for the patient, processes drug dispensing effectively, removes time wasting, saves resources, allows easy access to medicine, brings on more security on the data compared to manual-based systems, and improves accountability and traceability. The objectives of the SME Inst project include finalizing and validating the development of MØBIUS by integrating and packaging advanced features; search of commercial partners in target EU countries; in-depth assessment of entry strategy into the EU healthcare market; and a realistic and implementable business plan. We expect MØBIUS will generate about 40 new jobs and a cumulative ROI of €5.95 in the first 4 years after commercialization in Q1 2021. This submission, an improvement of a previous call in which we achieved a Seal of Excellence (13.22) intends to further demonstrate MØBIUS’ approach and our company’s value proposition.
