›Funding Call Webinar: Digital Health in Developing Economies

Health care systems in developing economies and health ecosystems continue to face considerable challenges in providing high quality and affordable care. 

 

These challenges are also acknowledged in the sustainable development goals (SDGs)  whose Target of 3.8 on universal health coverage (UHC) emphasizes the importance of all people and communities having access to quality health services without risking financial hardship. Achieving the UHC goal calls for urgent actions and investments in many areas including health infrastructure and digital health.

In this context, ESA has established cooperation with AXA One Health and Wish Foundation to accelerate sustainable innovation through space data and technology and advance the provision of seamless and sustainable healthcare in developing economies.  

As a first step of this cooperation, ESA is launching a new Invitation to Tender for feasibility studies to assess the technical feasibility and commercial viability of space-based services and solutions in the area of digital health for developing health ecosystems. The aim is to reduce the technical and commercial risks for  their implementation and operation.

ESA Space Solutions can provide funding for assessing business and technical feasibility of new, space-based services related to the digital health for developing economies. The activities will be 100% funded up to €200K per activity.
