This programme also aims to reduce inequalities in healthcare provision in Europe, without compromising compliance with legal, ethical, quality and interoperability requirements demanded in the development of innovative solutions.
In addition to IPN, this initiative counts on the participation of the University Hospital Centre of Coimbra (CHUC), the São João Hospital Centre in Porto, the Shared Services of the Ministry of Health, the Health Cluster Portugal and EIT Health Innostars.

This project will create structures called Testing and Experimental Facilities (TEF), which will create a bridge between companies and hospitals. TEF, in addition to serving as a testing and demonstration environment for solutions, will also serve for ethical and data protection reviews of the companies' projects, also contemplating activities such as incubation or market analysis.
The European project includes a consortium of 52 entities from 10 countries, led by the Charité University Hospital in Berlin (Germany).
