INnovate & INspire EIT Health Spain-SEIB Biomedical Engineering Award

EIT Health Spain and SEIB are proud to announce the third edition of the INnovate & INspire EIT Health Spain-SEIB Biomedical Engineering Award aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and innovation among recent graduates and students of this specialty. The award celebrates academic excellence and encourages students to continue the pursuit of healthy lives in Europe throughout their future careers.

EIT Health aims to address top EU health priorities by bridging the gap between academia and enterprise, upskilling professionals, and engaging learners. Our goal at EIT Health Spain is to unite and mobilize key players in the health innovation value chain in Spain, driving technology transfer, social impact, and improving the quality of life for European citizens.

For this awards, we invite all Degree, Master or PhD students and young professionals working in Biomedical Engineering, who have graduated within the last 3 years, to participate as applicants by sharing the topic of their Final Degree Project, Final Master Project («TFG» or «TFM») or current PhD or work project related to biomedical engineering.

These are the three categories:

  1. The Patient-Focused Vision Award recognizes innovations that prioritize and enhance patient-centred care and propose new digital solutions and innovations in fields such as digital medical devices and diagnostics. This award focuses on celebrating promising innovations in the field of digital health: standalone digital solutions or along with hardware. Patient-centered solutions mean that deliver outcomes that matter to patients and that can be used by and for the benefit of patients. Therefore, those solutions may empower the patient, by preventing and early diagnosing illnesses, and supporting and monitoring chronic patients to improve their quality of life.
  1. The Healthcare-Delivery Model Award focuses on boosting solutions to deliver healthcare by healthcare professionals as primary users. At the centre of this will be the concept of value-based healthcare, proposing new or enhanced models to improve healthcare delivery, where success measures should be based on patient outcomes (PROMS & PREMS indicators) and/or the shift from treatment to prevention. These can include the implementation of robust analysis of databases that are already in place. 
  1. We also encourage everyone to participate as members of the audience to vote for the Audience Choice Award to decide which shortlisted project offers the most promising solution to our current health priorities.
