In the HoCare 2.0 project, we get to its most interesting part. In an open call for small and medium-sized businesses, we have selected the two best ideas from companies Mediware and Oscar Senior to start the development of new products in collaboration with Czech Co-creation Lab and a group of seniors.

EIT InnoEnergy’s TBB.Connect! from 4-5 November will bring together innovators and industry from all corners of the world – giving attendees the chance to create and trigger new sustainable business opportunities. 

EIT Health and DEX Innovation Centre (EIT Health hub in the Czech Republic) organize DEXIC Hack powered by EIT Health organized during the weekend of 16. 10-16.12. 2020 in Liberec, the Czech Republic.

The aim of this hackathon is to find advanced technological solutions on defined challenges of a lung ventilator next development process. 

At the end of September, we trained teachers from 8 Czech schools in Liberec, who will use the InnoSchool system from October.

Morning Health Talk on Future of digital health and telemedicine, organized on 25.9. as a hybrid event, connected more than 20 Czech stakeholders with 2 fantastic guest speakers from Estonia and Israel - countries that are scoring top positions in terms of their readiness and deployment of digital health and telemedicine solutions. 

We are proud to announce that EIT InnoEnergy has prolonged cooperation with us, as Hub in Czechia, for the next period.

We are looking for startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that will be involved in the creation of new products using the method of co-creation. During this process, companies will focus on developing digital innovations in home care. You can apply for the open call until 30 September 2020 and participation is completely free of charge!

DEXIC Accelerator is back together with the second programme called 4DigitalHealth. Both programmes open their applications on August 20th. Impactful digital startups can apply until October 5th, 23:59. 

We have measured the readiness of companies for their digital transformation. Transnational Maturity Level is an index based on the mapping of companies from the Czech Republic, but also in other European regions, 

The European population is ageing and pressure on carers is increasing. It brings the need to use innovative digital products widely used by seniors and carers. HoCare2.0 project offers SMEs to join pilot testing and get guidance in co-creation approach when developing their new products. Currently, there is an open call that SMEs can join for free. 

The Danube Transnational Programme approved in a total of 35 new projects from the third call for proposals. About €60 million will be distributed from the ERDF, IPA and ENI funds. The main aim of the 3rd call is to foster transnational cooperation and support policy integration at the regional level. DEX Innovation Centre is the author of one approved project - eDigiStars.

After two successful batches, DEXIC Accelerator is coming back in 2020. The programme brings three major changes - the programme will run during November and the beginning of December, we are moving it to Prague, and Health startups will have specific curricula and programme called 4DigitalHealth.

Did you know that by 2060, every third European will be older than 65 years? It makes the “Silver Economy” one of the fastest-growing economic domains. Because many solutions for the elderly are digital-based and not well accepted, there is a growing need to involve them in the product design process. This will ensure that the product/service is designed for seniors’ needs and they will use it.

EIT Health and DEX Innovation Centre (EIT Health hub in the Czech Republic) would like to personally invite you to the EIT Health Morning Health Talk that we organize together on 25.9.2020 from 9:30 as a hybrid event both at Opero, Prague, and virtually.

The aim of EIT Health Morning Health Talk, in general, is to inspire through sharing valuable information about the tendencies of health innovations and strengthen communication, networking and activities of the local ecosystem stakeholders.

We will be very glad if you will join us together with other 20 Czech personally invited future thinking healthcare professionals - representatives of governmental organizations, healthcare providers, universities, science and research institutions, professional organizations, companies, startups and individuals.
