The main objective of this preliminary market consultation is to analyze the sector to obtain advanced information. on the different services offered by market agents and establish a proactive dialogue with them. The Vall d'Hebron University Hospital (HUVH) aims, in particular, to collaboration with industry to promote the joint development of innovative digital solutions that transform the current approach to congenital and complex pathologies. This effort focuses on using digital twins to provide more personalized and accurate diagnoses and treatments, contributing to a significant improvement in healthcare.
The objectives of this consultation are:
- Explore the sector to gain greater insight into possible lines of collaboration. This includes explore the typologies of technological solutions in development, their degree of maturity and the modalities of collaboration most suitable for its implementation. This analysis will allow for the establishment of strategic alliances that promote innovation and progress in healthcare.
- Provide an overview of the objectives of the approach with digital twins. Collect information on the quality and technical characteristics of the solutions available on the market and obtain information on how the market is evolving.
- Obtain information about the processing of data and its security given the nature of the future object of the contract.
- Allow interested operators to provide comments and suggestions that they consider useful to the body contractor in the preparation of the tender.
- Provide information on the future tender process to obtain participation from operators interested parties as broadly as possible.
In terms of clinical areas and complex procedures, Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron is currently interested to cover (but not limited to):
- Paediatric and adults craniomaxillofacial
- Paediatric and adults neurosurgery
- Paediatric and adults rachis
- Paediatric and adults cardiology
- Paediatric plastic surgery
- Paediatric surgery (thoracic and abdominal, oncologic, hepatobiliar-pancreatic, neonatal, urogenital and foetal)
- Adults neurology (migraine)
- Adults robotic surgery (otorhinolaryngology, thoracic, hepatobiliar-pancreatic, urogenital, colorectal, gynaecologic, endocrinology and bariatric)
In terms of technology, this project aims to co-develop disruptive digital technologies that contribute to transforming the approach to congenital and complex pathologies, moving towards a more personalized and precise approach. Some examples of these technologies could be:
- Digital twins and artificial intelligence solutions that allow simulating the evolution of a certain pathology in a specific patient and simulating the effect of different therapeutic alternatives. The solution will provide support for clinical decisions both in treatment planning and in intra-patient support surgeries
- Robotic and navigation technologies that integrate digital twin results. For example, superimposing the twins in the healthcare professional's field of vision to provide planned three-dimensional anatomical and functional guidance during the procedure, etc.
- Other disruptive digital solutions that can be co-developed to improve personalized diagnosis and treatment of congenital/complex pathologies.
