Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking (IHI JU)

Boosting innovation through exploitation of digitalisation and data exchange in healthcare

Funds public-private research on interoperable health data and AI analytics that speed up diagnosis, treatment and personalised care.

Proposals need to justify the unmet public health need they address through at least one of three routes: a disease's high burden on patients or society, its high economic impact, or work that cuts across disease areas entirely, such as health-data analytics. Applicants also have to demonstrate a credible path to integrating their solution into Europe's own healthcare systems or into industrial pr…

Applicants define their own project within this objective, but outcomes must widen the availability of interoperable, FAIR-principle health data and advance analytics or AI that support clinical decisions, shorten time to market, or deliver personalised health interventions with reduced risk of bias.
