Accelerating Innovation in Microfabricated Medical Devices

Project description

A transformation is underway in European medical devices and services

The 2018 European Strategic Research Agenda for Electronic Components and Systems (ECS) is a combined research initiative comprising three industry associations representing companies of all sizes, universities and research institutes along the entire ECS value chain. Health and well-being is one of its five identified application areas with goals of stabilising costs while transforming healthcare with faster diagnostics, more effective treatments and personalised medicine. The EU-funded Moore4Medical project is leveraging the wide-ranging expertise of 68 partners from 12 countries to develop open technology platforms that will accelerate innovation and applications in ECS for emerging medical science to benefit Europe's citizens, its economy and global standing. The open technology platforms address the emerging domains of: bioelectronic medicines, organ-on-chip, drug delivery, personal ultrasound, radiation free intervention and sleep monitoring.

Objective

Compared to the pace of innovation in electronic consumer products, the pace of innovation for medical devices is lagging behind. It is the overarching objective of Moore4Medical to accelerate innovation in electronic medical devices.
Moore4Medical emerging medical applications that offer significant new opportunities for the ECS industry including: active implantable devices (bioelectronic medicines), organ-on-chip, drug adherence monitoring, smart ultrasound, radiation free interventions and continuous monitoring. The new technologies will help fighting the increasing cost of healthcare by: reducing the need for hospitalization, helping the development of personalized therapies, and realizing intelligent point-of-care diagnostic tools.
Moore4Medical will bring together 68 specialists from 12 countries who will develop open technology platforms for these emerging fields to help them bridge “the Valley of Death” in shorter time and at lower cost. Open technology platforms used by multiple users for multiple applications with the prospect of medium to high volume markets are an attractive proposition for the European ECS industry. The combination of typical MedTech applications with an ECS style platform approach will enhance the competitiveness for the emerging medical domains addressed in Moore4Medical. With value and IP moving from the technology level towards applications and solutions, defragmentation and open technology platforms will be key in acquiring and maintaining a premier position for Europe in the forefront of affordable healthcare

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)
