This projects is based on a model where healthcare organisations and companies co-create eHealth solutions, with the economic support of regional funds. The project involves 3 categories of actors: SMEs (as idea generator and solution developer), hospitals (as challengers – the organization who needs a problem solved) and RDA Centru as the funder (alongside the SMEs finds grants for funding the idea in order to solve the hospital’s need).This project is a good example of facilitating the cooperation between regional and international actors and also implementing RIS3.
