Finding the right partners may often prove to be one of the obstacles to develop or commercialise new AI solutions. An activity within the ELISE network has addressed this challenge by launching a catalogue in 2022 that provided a broad sample on European research organisations focused on AI, thus making it easier for academia and industry to find the right partners for a fruitful collaboration. There is now an updated version available, this time bringing nodes from the European industry.

The integration of digital technology into healthcare has presented a multitude of challenges, with cybersecurity emerging as a major concern. The consequences of cyber threats extend beyond financial implications, posing a significant risk to the integrity of healthcare systems. Key vulnerabilities within the healthcare sector, including endpoint leakage, user authentication deficiencies, and excessive user permissions, persist as critical areas susceptible to compromise. In the worst case, these vulnerabilities pose a threat to patients' wellbeing. Collaboration in EU consortia may be the answer to tackle the challenges. 

A new automated solution that brings safety to the patient’s everyday life and streamlines the work of healthcare professionals has been developed in the CleverHealth Network co-ordinated by HUS.
