HACK-IT-NET: enabling an Alpine region Health And Care Knowledge and Innovation Transfer NETwork
Home
Outcomes

Overview

The Alpine region hosts world-class health and care innovations such as machine learning and remote cancer screening that address challenges like demographic divides and seasonal demand fluctuations. However, these innovations are often inaccessible to health and care stakeholders due to high demands and resource constraints. HACK-IT-NET aims to bridge this gap by creating a sustainable innovation transfer framework, capitalizing the existing innovation across the Alpine region. By fostering transnational cooperation and recognising local needs, HACK-IT-NET is committed to enhancing health and care delivery, promoting green and digital advancements, and supporting sustainable development goals.

    Outcomes


    • Capacity Building Toolkit, with Social Innovation (SoI) Multi-Actor-Approach (MAA) Methodological FRAMEWORK & AS Health Need OUTCOMES & Solution Use Cases

      PPs co-create & EUSALP/Advisory Board validate Toolkit portfolios + APPROACH. System combines use cases, EU/AS innovation transfer players & Health/Care Actor needs (e.g. workers, policy & administrators & end user student & citizens). Using social innovation expertise (eg PP4, PP9, LP1) PP develop tools & APPROACH to foster transfer & meet AS Health OUTCOMES (e.g. Green E-Hospital, etc.). Comms: Video Needs Interviews, Solution Catalogue & Infographics. (PP4 Led, delivered RP 2, A1.1 & 1.2)

    • Network Operating Model, Letter of Commitment (LoC) + First Outreach & Uptake Events (HackITAthons) for Anchoring

      Designed to facilitate AS Green Deal goals & SDG 3/9 targets on Health/Care (e.g fair, equitable access to efficient innovation) the Operating Model sets processes & plan to deliver systematic support to transfer innovation from EU/Global to AS Health & Care ecosystem. Comms : Video Interviews on Network Value-Add (released on LinkedIn), ecosystem infographics & 3 HACK-ITathon events, M7-13-18 with EUSALP presidency & 3 feedback loops AG1, AG2 & AG5 + AB (LP1, PP2 & PP7 Led, delivered RP 3).

    • Transnational Pilot for Health & Care Research, Innovation, Technology, Knowledge Transfer Pathways (3 Social Innovation Methods, 3+ Spotlight Health OUTCOMES, 9 AS Test Zones & 9 AS Expansion Zones)

      Using O1.1 & O1.2, PPs create 1 transnational pilot with 3 testing sandboxes (9 AS Test Zones & 9 AS Expansion Zones). Tested tools help expose 3 health & care actor arenas (workers, policy makers & end-users) to innovation to impact on 3+ Spotlight Health OUTCOMES: ex 1: CAREavan brings digital & green innovation to admin. & workers; 2. PolicyParley links policymakers to innovation on system services; 3. STEMlab improves custom tech transfer to workers/end-users. (Led by PP5 in RP5 via A2.2)

    • Transnational FRAMEWORK Solution for Alpine Space Health & Care Innovation Transfer Pathways: tested operating model, with operational steps to activate lessons learnt

      Building on Pilot (O2.1) outcomes O3.1 formalizes a long-term solution to foster Innovation Transfer directly to Health & Care Ecosystem Actors, addressing key AS OUTCOMES. The Tools (O1.1) & Network (O1.2) (built in WP1 tested in WP2) are sustainably used in 3 transnational lighthouse projects with signed MoU to expand Network’s members across AS multi-actor groups (more HE/RTDs, BSOs + Enterprises & SMEs) + sets legal framework for future operations (Led by LP1/PP8, RP6 delivery, A3.1/2).

    • Policy Brief for Aligned Strategic Upscaling of Alpine Space Health & Care Innovation Transfer Pathways in the HACK-IT-NET FRAMEWORK

      Strategic recommendation transfer via validated Policy Brief to PP & AB PAs + Networks (incl. EUSALP AG1, 2 & 5 synergies) to support long-term Innovation Transfer Pathways/HACK-IT-NET FRAMEWORK anchoring. Policy2Practice (P2P) Lab promotes AS/EU exchange on upscaling & transferring insight to/from other sectors (e.g. H/C tourism), using Pilot & Solution (O3.1) outcomes as basis for real action & roll-out. Presented to EUSALP & in final public conference. (Led by PP2, RP6 delivery, A3.2 & A3.3)
