Development of innovative AI-based solutions with the objective to optimise hospital processes and to improve the quality of patient care.
The AICCELERATE project develops a cloud-based tool and combines Artificial Intelligence and autonomous robotics with the aim of promoting a state-of-the-art hospital model that incorporates new services and processes to intensive care units, surgical rooms and rooms, ranging from functions related to the logistics and transportation of medicines to disinfection, among others.
Nowadays, most Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions applied to the health sector are limited to isolated applications. For this reason, scalable models that address data sharing, integration, privacy, and ethics are needed to ensure better adoption of AI in healthcare fields.
In this sense, AICCELERATE’s approach extends digital solutions compatible with Artificial Intelligence for different cases of hospital uses, aimed at improving patient care. With the innovative solution developed within the project, hospital challenges and problems can be addressed from two perspectives: the patient’s vision and on the other hand, the hospital management.
The solution promoted by the project, which counts with the participation of Eurecat through the Digital Health Unit and the Robotics and Automation Unit, will be tested in three different pilots that will be focused on the management of patient flow for units emergency and surgical services, in the establishment of a digital care pathway for Parkinson’s disease and in the provision of services to pediatric patients.
The consortium of the AICCELERATE project, coordinated by the Helsinki University Hospital (HUS), is formed by 16 partners from 8 different European countries.
