Odin

Vision and mission

ODIN is a European multi-centre pilot study focused on the enhancement of hospital safety, productivity and quality. This project will contribute to the implementation of the European Smart Hospitals of the Future.

The main objective is to deliver an open digital platform, supporting a suite of services and Key Enabling Resources (KERs) empowered by robotics, Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and specialized AI. These resources will be implemented in three Reference Areas of Hospital Interventions: workers, robots and medical locations and will be tested through seven Clinical User Cases in leading hospitals of six European countries: Spain, France, Germany, Poland Netherlands and Italy.

The platform will gather information and data from the participating hospitals and through high levels of AI, it will enable Problem Perception, Cognitive Reasoning and Knowledge Optimization. The utilization of the resulting data will translate into an optimized management and innovative products and services, enabling Value-Based Healthcare and fostering an open innovation approach between hospital partners and industrial partners to collaborate with research institutions, academia and regulatory experts, bridging the gap between healthcare suppliers and providers.

Odin project pursues the following objectives:

To deliver an open and secure platform, supporting a suite of services and Key Enabling Resources (KERs) empowered by robotics, IoT solutions and specialized AI. The platform will integrate an Evidence-Based Medicine approach, gathering data from tangible and intangible resources that will be analyzed and interpreted by AI.

To build a dynamic and collaborate co-creation mechanism for Innovative Procurement Journey between healthcare suppliers and providers, identifying healthcare challenges and needs to guarantee the delivery of innovative services that are accepted, safe, trusted and compliant with current standards and rules, according to national and European legal frameworks. ODIN will identify and contribute to remove barriers for the adoption and scaling of ODIN technology.

To implement a multi-centre cohort study demonstrating the safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ODIN´s Key Enabling Resources and platform, while assessing the impact, scalability, interoperability and innovation potential for other domains. A combination of three Areas of Intervention (eWorkers, eLocations and eRobots) and seven Clinical Use Cases, will be studied in 6 Exemplar Demonstrators: Spain, France, Germany, Poland Netherlands and Italy. ODIN will act as a reference demonstrator for a new generation of digital care services and patient centric care, as well as new business, financial and collaborative models for health care and medical research.

To set up a communication and dissemination program, together with an exploitation strategy to reach a significant number of users and business partners that will allow ODIN solutions to be delivered during and after the project lifetime. This will include two phases of open calls and existing open innovation initiatives from the demand and supply side, in order to:

1) Delivering data to the European Data Space.

2) Promoting dialogues with standardization bodies, scientific and industrial societies  to make ODIN solutions interoperable and scalable.

3) Developing a business model through innovation, integrating digital services into value-based healthcare.

Summary of Objectives:

  1. ODIN Digital platform empowered by robotics, IoT and AI.
  2. ODIN Co-creation space between healthcare suppliers and providers.
  3. ODIN as a Reference demonstrator of a new generation of digital care services.
  4. ODIN exploitation strategy: development of a Business model supported by innovation and value-based healthcare.
