In September of 2025, as a member of a Consortium consisting of two Polish universities and an Ukrainian and an Israeli hospitals, we applied for the Horizon grant.
Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation sponsored by European Commission.
Grant “End user-driven application of Generative Artificial Intelligence models in healthcare” follows exactly our Mission & Goal: This topic aims at supporting activities that are enabling or contributing to one or several expected impacts of destination “Ensuring equal access to innovative, sustainable, and high-quality healthcare”. To that end, proposals under this topic were aiming to deliver results directed towards and contributing to all the following expected outcomes:
- Healthcare professionals, at all stages of healthcare provision, have access to user-centric, robust and trustworthy virtual assistant solutions based on Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)[1] models and other AI tools to support them towards the provision of safer, more efficient and personalised care.
- Healthcare professionals benefit from cross-country applicable methodologies with the aim to facilitate acceptability, healthcare uptake and public trust of virtual assistant tools based on Generative AI models.
- Patients benefit from enhanced outcomes, more personalised care, and increased engagement with their healthcare professionals, leading to improved safety, quality of care, access to appropriate healthcare information and patient-doctor communication.
- Healthcare systems benefit from improved cost-effective patient outcomes, superior to standard of care in terms of accuracy, safety, and quality, and from cost-savings through advancements in highly accurate, transparent, traceable, and explainable solutions.
We are currently awaiting the results – the winner should be announced within the first quarter of this year.
