• Awareness raising: Through the creation of information material and dissemination activities, 1-1 meetings, as well as workshops on digital transformation and smartHEALTH services, first contact will be made with prospective clients. The objective is to highlight the potential of digitial technologies in the operation and activities of enterprises and public sector organisations.
• Digital maturity assessment: Using the Digital Maturity Assessment (DMA) tool developed by JRC, as well as other structured tools such as IMP³rove Digital Innovation Quotient, and JRC’s Innovation Radar (IR), smartHEALTH experts will assist clients to measure their digital maturity assessing the following dimensions: digital business strategy, digital readiness, human centric digitalization, data management, automation & AI. The DMA will be carried out three times: at the start of service provision, at the end of service provision, and 6-12 months after that.
• Visioning for digital transformation: In close collaboration with the client, a detailed plan of action will be elaborated highlighting the next set of services, specific timeline, milestones , and deliverables. The ation plan will serve as the reference point for the client’s next steps in the context of smartHEALTH and beyond.
• Demonstration and proof-of-concept: Clients (SMEs, start-ups, midcaps, and public sector entities) will have the opportunity to demonstrate in a lab the idea behind a new product, service or process. smartHEALTH experts will assess the validity and feasibility of the new concept and provide additional support, e.g. on technical specifications, needed infrastructure, implementation and regulatory environment.
• Fostering integration: smartHEALTH will support clients to integrate digital technologies and skills. Clients will be advised on the availability and usage of necessary tools, methods and software development. An education plan for staff for the new processes/tools can be developed, while a set of opportunities for co-development will be proposed to assist future collaborations.
• Testing, experimentation and prototyping: smartHEALTH partners have unique expertise on AI, cybersecurity and HPC and relevant infrastructure that can be used for niche applications to support smart health, precision medicine and ehealth to facilitate innovative drug design, medical diagnostics, smart hospitals and administrative automation. These applications are not readily available in the market. Through smartHEALTH, clients will have access to infrastructure and specialized knowledge and expertise, to test and experiment to either acquire new knowledge or design new products, services and processes. Industry will have the opportunity to explore the end-to-end processes of accessing and using remote computing resources in HPC infrastructure of smartHEALTH on demand.
