Viladecans The Style Outlets will hold, on December 11, the award ceremony for the II VTSO Health Innovation Award, in which the winning project will be announced. This second edition has achieved great success in terms of applications. Almost thirty projects for teams and departments from some of the most relevant healthcare or health innovation centers in the province of Barcelona have been presented, to which are also added centers from the XarSMART network located in other Catalan provinces.<\/p>\n
The purpose of the award, which is endowed with 15,000 euros and has the collaboration of IDIBELL – XarSMART, is to promote the transfer to the market and society of high-level projects within the field of health products, digital health and advanced therapies.<\/p>\n

The three finalist projects are:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cCONAN Project<\/strong>\u201d- [Controlled-replication Oncolytic Adenovirus] presented, in the category of Advanced Therapies, by the Institut d\u2019Investigaci\u00f3 Biom\u00e8dica de Bellvitge (IDIBELL). It aims to generate an oncolytic adenovirus with controlled replication for the treatment of cancer, through a system that allows control of the progression of the advanced therapy (CELYVIR) should begin to replicate this virus.<\/p>\n \u201cODISEA Project<\/strong>\u201d, presented, in the Digital Health category, by the Institut d’Investigaci\u00f3 Biom\u00e8dica de Girona (IDIBGI), the Institut d’Investigaci\u00f3 en Atenci\u00f3 Prim\u00e0ria (IDIAP Jordi Gol) and the Josep Trueta University Hospital of Girona. It proposes the development of software to improve the care process for acute myocardial infarction by optimizing the coordination and flow of information between the healthcare providers responsible for the patients. The result is a considerable reduction in treatment time and better case selection.<\/p>\n \u201cSEALING SYSTEM Project<\/strong>\u201d, presented, in the Health Products category, by the Sant Joan de D\u00e9u Hospital, Barcelona; the Hospital Cl\u00ednic of Barcelona; and the Sarri\u00e0 Chemical Institute. It proposes the novel development of a sealing system to prevent iatrogenic rupture – an unwanted consequence of medical intervention – of amniotic membranes. It is applied after endoscopic fetal surgery, avoiding complications of surgery, and reducing prematurity.<\/p>\n The VTSO Health Innovation Award, created by Viladecans The Style Outlets in 2022, is part of its commitment to generating a positive impact in the community in which it operates.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n About XarSMART<\/strong><\/p>\n XarSMART is an initiative promoted by the IDIBELL and financed by the Ag\u00e8ncia de Gesti\u00f3 d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca (AGAUR), which works to train the Catalan health sciences ecosystem to generate new medical technologies and new companies and increase the transfer to the market of high-level projects in the areas of personalized precision medicine, health products and data science. XarSMART is made up of 13 member institutions, a total of 30 research groups and more than 345 researchers. Among the different activities developed, the promotion of initiatives such as the \u201cVTSO-XarSMART Health Innovation\u201d awards seeks to accelerate the transfer process and provide support to the network’s innovative projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The three finalists have been selected from around thirty projects from Catalan hospitals or healthcare innovation centres.
