The GRACE integrated solution aims to transform the healthcare ecosystem by providing essential knowledge and innovative public-private partnership for (1) reorganizing healthcare services (2) with embedded innovative technologies and tools, helping identifying and overcoming barriers and gaps that are now hindering CVD management, ensuring a seamless continuum of care and optimized care pathways. Our vision is that introducing effective health technology and interventions is economically, societally and environmentally sustainable if and only accompanied by a substantial healthcare service re-organization. Accordingly, GRACE will focus on an end-to-end clinical pathway CVD, considering an holistic view of the patient and optimizing healthcare services leveraging on advanced technological solutions. GRACE intervention will be multifold aiming at: (1) guiding strategic policies, (2) drive market innovation, and (3) foster effective healthcare delivery practices in CVD, generating value for patients, healthcare workers and system. GRACE will enable early and personalized interventions, fostering coordination of multidiscipline healthcare teams, triggering more intense and person-specific management using innovative technologies, AI and digital solutions for early detection of red flags, promoting patient empowerment, while comprehensively containing CVD risk factors and burden. A multidisciplinary consortium of experienced and competitive partners will implement this vision and implement the proposed solution in a novel multidiscipline manner.

The general purpose of PRECISEU is connecting innovation ecosystems across Europe to efficiently advance towards a truly personalised healthcare, transferring practices and solutions from region to region and scaling up deep-tech healthcare innovations based on advanced therapies medicinal products and health data across Europe. The PRECISEU consortium is composed of Regional Authorities and innovation players from 9 NUTS 1 and 2 regions, supported by clusters, universities, research centres and infrastructures, NGOs and networks, and engaging regional and European innovators, scientists and entrepreneurs across the EU health innovation space. Also involved as partner in the consortium, one Ukrainian Region, Rivne, represented by the Rivne Medical Cluster, has a relevant role as Ukraine is open for cooperation, innovation and joint projects for reconstruction. The European continent faces a set of challenges in terms of the swift and effective implementation of medical care, which were brought sharply into focus during the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare remains a concurrent gap between innovation leaders and emerging and moderate innovators (classification according to the Regional Innovation Scoreboard, RIS), which impacts all spheres (economics, social and living standards), and which requires significant expertise and knowledge as well as expansive collaboration between innovation networks and all stakeholders and communities across Europe. PRECISEU is aware that taking next steps in the development and organisation of PM is a key issue for Europe, and that more coordination efforts between key European stakeholders is necessary to foster its implementation. By focusing on health data and advanced therapies as key drivers of personalized medicine models, PRECISEU will not only provide regional ecosystems with European connectivity but will most importantly address the significant and urgent needs of the regions.

UMBRELLA is a holistic approach to progress, reshape, and benchmark the overall stroke care pathway and set new and improved standards of care in terms of primary and secondary prevention, rapid access to treatments, early accurate diagnosis, stratification, management and real-time monitoring, therapeutic targets identification, and rehabilitation, recurrent stroke and related cardiovascular events. This innovative approach will transform healthcare systems by improving and harmonizing professionals' workflows in a more patient-centred, digitalized, and communicative manner. UMBRELLA aims to revolutionize stroke management by implementing a comprehensive approach that addresses gaps along the whole continuum of the stroke care pathway. The key paradigm in the project is the multicentric, synergistic "umbrella" strategy for local data collection, harmonization, and standardization along the entire pre-, in-, and post-hospitalization pathway. By establishing specific common data models (CMDs) implemented in each of the 7 top-tier European clinical centres, UMBRELLA will create a federated data platform (U-platform) where Real World Data (RWD)-based AI algorithms can be locally created and validated, to advance personalised diagnosis, risk prediction, and treatment decisions in the acute and post-acute phases of stroke. The algorithms will be then trained in a decentralized manner through a federated learning infrastructure (FL-platform), which preserve data security and privacy, avoiding data centralization or exchange across centres but fostering collective AI-models training. On the other hand, standardized stroke management protocols and procedures will be created and implemented across the participating centres, including the validated usage of advanced digital technologies as solutions to facilitate data collection, visualization, patient engagement, monitoring, outcomes integration, and decision-making across the whole stroke pathway.
