On Friday, 16 May 2025, EVOLVE2CARE was represented at the 25th International Conference on Integrated Care (ICIC25) in Lisbon, Portugal. The conference, held under the theme “Synergising Health and Care: Leveraging Integrated Care for a Sustainable Future,” brought together over 1,000 participants — including researchers, innovators, SMEs, policymakers, and end-users to explore strategies for building more cohesive and patient-centred health systems.

Despoina Petsani, from the EVOLVE2CARE project coordination team (AUTH Medical Physics & Digital Innovation Lab), presented a study titled “Transforming Transitional Care with Technology: Insights from the Greek Healthcare Landscape.” Her presentation shared findings from an exploratory mixed-methods study on the feasibility of integrating digital tools to improve care transitions in Greece.

Based on a mixed-methods study within the Greek health system, Despoina presented key findings highlighting the lack of structured post-discharge support, limited use of digital tools in discharge planning, and strong interest among professionals in improving care transitions through digital innovation.

These insights are closely aligned with the KPI framework developed within the EVOLVE2CARE project, particularly under Task 1.1. (Drivers and Barriers for the development of innovations) and Task 1.2. (Definition of Stakeholders’ requirements and KPI framework). This means that the research not only strengthens the project’s direction but also validates its relevance in addressing real-world needs across the Transitional Care ecosystem.

Overall, this event was a valuable opportunity to strengthen the project’s engagement with international healthcare communities and gave visibility to the project activities, including the Open Call, which invites innovators and Living Labs across Europe to collaborate in testing and scaling solutions that improve Transitional Care.

On April 2, 2025 SPLORO took part in the EIC Summit 2025, the flagship event of the European Innovation Council (EIC), held in Brussels. The Summit brought together innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers to spotlight cutting-edge European innovation and promote cross-border collaboration.

SPLORO played an active role by promoting key initiatives that support women-led innovation, including Women TechEU, the EmpoWomen Programme, and the Open Horizons Project. Alongside these initiatives, SPLORO also promoted the EVOLVE2CARE Open Call, leveraging the event’s visibility to raise awareness among startups aligned with the project’s goals. In preparation for the summit, SPLORO reached out to selected startups — including Neovivum Technologies, BestHealth4U, Biopsense Oy, and CheckPoint Care — to initiate conversations around potential participation in the Open Call.

This dual engagement not only reinforced SPLORO’s commitment to supporting inclusive innovation ecosystems but also positioned EVOLVE2CARE as a forward-looking initiative that welcomes collaboration from mission-driven startups across Europe.

The coordination team of the EVOLVE2CARE project, consisting of Evdokimos Konstantinidis, Panagiotis Bamidis, Despoina Petsani, Ilektra Makridou, and Konstantina Tsimpita (iMedPhys Lab of AUTH), organized a workshop on March 7, 2025, at the 14th Medical Conference of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) in Thessaloniki, Greece.

The workshop, titled “Innovation and Transitional Care: Unlocking the Needs of Healthcare Stakeholders,” engaged a diverse audience primarily composed of medical students, doctors, and professionals from the biomedical and engineering fields, all united by a common interest in healthcare innovation.

Workshop highlights:

  • Identifying KPIs for EVOLVE2CARE, shaping how we measure impact in Transitional Care.
  • Understanding barriers & incentives in adopting HealthTech innovations.
  • Engaging healthcare professionals, researchers, and stakeholders in co-creating solutions for better patient transitions.

The event was a valuable opportunity to collaborate with the medical community, gather insightful feedback, and refine how EVOLVE2CARE’s measure impacts on improving patient care during transitions between healthcare settings.
