Improved treatment for patients with advanced heart failure

EU funded H2020 Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) project TIQUE has published a prior information notice (PIN). TIQUE aims to trigger new solutions to be developed and tested to improve treatment for patients with advanced heart failure and complex care needs through technology enabled integrated care solutions – thereby implementing a predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory model of health care services for patients with heart failure.

Over 15 000 000 people live with heart failure in Europe. It is the leading cause of hospitalisation of people over 65 years with a mortality rate of up to 75% at 5 years of 1st admission. 

Testing is expected to take place in Barcelona, Region Västerbotten and Avellino. This testing may also serve as a first customer test reference for the contractors. The procurement is expected to start in spring 2022 and end in February 2026. The selected operators will retain ownership of the intellectual property rights (IPRs) that they generate during the PCP and will be able to use them to exploit the full market potential of the developed solutions i.e. beyond the procurement.

The PIN events will take place online in October and November 2021. Registration for all interested market actors is open on the project’s website. 

More information is available in the PIN official notice as well as on the project’s website.
