Co-creative Innovation with BioWin

ONCOMFORT, GIGA CONSCIOUSNESS, ISIA LAB AND PILIPILI LAUNCH A CO-CREATION PROJECT WITH SUPPORT OF THE BIOWIN HEALTH CLUSTER FRAMEWORK 

The project aims at objectivizing Digital Sedation™, paving the way for the first management system for non-pharmacological sedation for use in daily clinical practice. 

In 2017, Oncomfort created a medical device for Digital Sedation™, a digital therapeutic alternative to pharmacological sedation. More than 80.000 patients have already been treated with Digital Sedation™ in regular practice, demonstrating the feasibility and validity of delivering sedation during medical procedures and surgeries in a non-pharmacological way. 

In the scope of the project, the consortium will assess physiological parameters during Digital Sedation™. Data mining, machine learning and AI techniques will be applied to identify biomarkers specific for non-pharmacological sedation. The project will pay particular attention to the clinical validation of the results, key indicator for clinical applicability. The project will therefore bring non-pharmacological sedation from an empirical to an evidence-based therapy, opening the way for acceptation as standard of care for the largest possible number of patients.  

This project received 1,8 Million euros financial support of the Walloon Region as part of the program initiated by the BioWin Health Cluster framework. Solid partnerships were also established between Oncomfort, Pilipili, GIGA consciousness and ISIA lab in the framework of this project.
