HUMANI SC - Hospital network (HUMANI)

OVERVIEW : This service provides technical support for the deployment and evaluation of medical devices in clinical environments such as acute care areas, operating theatres, intensive care units. It includes feasibility assessments, integration of medical devices within data management infrastructures, implementation and maintenance support, connectivity and data transfer monitoring, user assistance, and the preparation of technical evaluation reports assessing the solution's performance, usability, reliability, and suitability for real-world clinical use. HOW CAN THE SERVICE HELP YOU ? : This service helps you deploying successfully and evaluating your medical device in real-world clinical environments. By providing technical expertise, infrastructure integration, connectivity monitoring, and ongoing user support, it reduces implementation risks, ensures reliable data collection, minimizes disruptions to clinical workflows, and facilitates the generation of robust evidence on the device's performance, usability, and suitability for routine clinical practice. HOW WILL THE SERVICE BE DELIVERED ? : The service is delivered by the HUmani’s IT Department working in close collaboration with the end-users of the solution (physicians, nurses, and other relevant healthcare professionals) and, when appropriate, with the device manufacturer or technology provider. This service is available either as a standalone offering or, where required, in mandatory combination with medical data provision and clinical investigation services for AI solutions integrated within the hospital environment. PROVIDER DESCRIPTION : HUmani CHU Charleroi-Chimay is a hospital network composed of five general and specialized hospitals and 8 polyclinics offering healthcare services in more than fifty medical and surgical specialties. Located in Belgium, at the heart of Europe, we are strongly committed to clinical research with the support of a dedicated Clinical Research Unit offering Clinical Research Organization (CRO)-like services. TECHNICAL DETAILS : This service is performed in compliance with the MDCG 2019-16 Rev.1 guidance, EU regulations 2017/745 (MDR), 2016/679 (RGPD), Belgian laws and Royal Decrees, and HUmani standard operating procedures. SERVICE CUSTOMIZATION : This service may be provided by HUmani either as part of its role as the full sponsor of your investigation study or on an “à la carte” basis.

Fraunhofer-Institut für Integrierte Schaltungen (IIS)

**Who Can Benefit:** - MedTech & AI Companies: For obtaining high-quality, ethically sourced clinical datasets to fuel algorithm development without navigating hospital bureaucracy. - Clinical Researchers: For systematic, regulation-compliant data collection with full documentation and audit trail. **Key Features:** - End-to-end management of ethical approval processes (ethics committee submission, informed consent design) - Prospective data collection within Universitätsklinikum Erlangen clinical departments - Expert clinical annotation and ground truth labeling by domain specialists - Full GDPR compliance with pseudonymization/anonymization pipelines - Structured data output compatible with downstream AI training and analysis workflows **Possible Applications:** - Wearable Sensor Studies (e.g. Cardiology): Prospective collection of continuous ECG, PPG, or blood pressure data from cardiac patients for digital biomarker development and remote monitoring algorithm training. - Motion & Gait Analysis (Biomechanics): Systematic acquisition of IMU, force plate, and motion capture data in clinical and sports lab settings for movement disorder assessment, rehabilitation tracking, or athletic performance evaluation. - Neurological Signal Acquisition: Collection of EEG, EMG, or tremor sensor data from neurological patient cohorts to support AI-based diagnostic or therapy monitoring tools. - Real-World Evidence Datasets: Longitudinal data collection from ambulatory patients in everyday settings, enabling the development of algorithms that generalize beyond controlled lab environments. - Athletic Performance & Injury Prevention: Structured data gathering during sports science testing protocols to build datasets for injury risk prediction, load monitoring, and return-to-play decision support. - Multi-Modal Clinical Datasets: Combined collection of sensor data, imaging, lab values, and patient-reported outcomes to enable holistic, multi-modal AI model development. **Who We Are:** The **Fraunhofer Insitute for Integrated Circuits (Fraunhofer IIS)** has established the **"Center for Sensor Technology and Digital Medicine" (CEMDIS)** in cooperation with the Universitätsklinikum Erlangen and the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) to enhance modern healthcare through **innovative sensor technology** and **digital solutions**. This center focuses on integrating **innovative medical technologies** such as **wearables** and **robotic systems** to support **medical diagnostics**, **patient monitoring** and **evaluating patient-specific therapies** by providing digital health solutions für real-life healthcare. Located at the Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, it offers unique infrastructures for the **development**, **integration**, and **validation** of novel health technologies, providing companies opportunities for **technological advancements**.

Karolinska Institutet (KI)

Centre for Imaging Research (CIR) is a world-leading imaging centre at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden in collaboration with SciLIfeLab and RISE. It offers an exceptional collection of core facilities for cutting-edge structural, functional, and metabolic in vivo multimodal imaging and endovascular/minimally invasive surgical techniques. The core facility Karolinska Experimental Research and Imaging Centre (KERIC) offers simulated environmental operating rooms for surgical training and medical and robotic device testing. KERIC is a joint university- and hospital facility that gives you access to expert surgeons, medical doctors, technicians and researchers expertise. The four operation units are equipped with: • Anaesthesia equipment (Dräger Primus Infinity) • Monitoring equipment (Datex / Philips MX800) • Operating table (TruSystem 7000) • Surgical diathermy (Valleylab, ForceTriad) • Surgical light (Maquet Volista) • Patient warming units (Mistral Air) • Surgical suction • Standard surgical instruments Our operating rooms are regularly used for surgical training in transplantation, neuro/stroke, pediatric surgery, specialist trauma expertise, otorhinolaryngology, gynaecology, and pediatric surgery.
