Rīgā, Spīķeru koncertzālē, aizvadīta Bērnu slimnīcas organizētā starptautiskā konference #PediatricInnovationDay2024! Tas bija lielisks pieredzes apmaiņas un sadarbības veicināšanas pasākums! ❤️🔥 Konferencē piedalījās eksperti un dažādu ar pediatrijas inovācijām saistīto jomu pārstāvji no vairāk nekā 10 Eiropas valstīm, apvienojot tos, kam rūp bērnu veselības jomas turpmāka attīstība un nākotne. 🙌 Konferences dalībnieki dalījās savā pieredzē un sniedza vērtīgu ieskatu par jauniem risinājumiem mākslīgā intelekta, biodizaina un tehnoloģiju izmantošanā un attīstīšanā bērnu slimnīcās. 🏥🤖 Šī bija unikāla iespēja uzklausīt pasaules vadošos inovatorus un apzināt, kā uzlabot bērnu veselības aprūpes kvalitāti visā Eiropā. Konferencē pirmo reizi plašākai sabiedrībai tika prezentēta projekta i4KIDS I i4KIDS-EUROPE izstrādātā "Baltā grāmata". Šis dokuments ietver rūpīgu analīzi par to, kādi izaicinājumi un iespējas paveras pediatrijas inovāciju attīstīšanai Eiropā, kā arī izcelti pašreizējie trūkumi bērnu veselības aprūpē, īpaši salīdzinājumā ar pieaugušo veselības aprūpi. Ar pieredzi par paveikto dalījās Iain Hennessey, Alder Hey Innovation vadītājs, stāstot par pieredzi veidojot 1000m2 plašu inovāciju centru Liverpūles bērnu slimnīcā. GOSH DRIVE vadītājs Andrew Taylor dalījās ar zināšanām par mākslīgo intelektu bērnu slimnīcās. Vairākās paneļdiskusijās ar savu pieredzi dalījās gan augstākā līmeņa vadītāji - Valts Abols, Malene Fischer, Ann Quinn, kas inovācijas redz kā vienu no rīkiem slimnīcu lielo mērķu sasniegšanai, gan arī praktiskie inovāciju ieviesēji - Pekka Kahri, Hans-Peter Dauben un Tomàs Lóbez Pérez, kuri ar šiem jautājumiem strādā ikdienā. Interesanta saruna bija arī divu inovatoru - Lina Jankauskaite, MD PhD un Emil Syundyukov - starpā par pieredzi, veidojot inovāciju ekosistēmu Baltijā. Par biodizaina pieeju inovāciju veidošanā runāja BioMedical Design Novo Nordisk Foundation Fellowship Programme vadītāja Sys Zoffmann Glud, savukārt par inovācijām dizaina nozarē stāstīja H2E vadītāja Inguna Elere un Ieva Timoško. Hospital Challenge finālā laurus plūca Sencilia par monitoringa sensoriem, kas paredzēti jaundzimušo un pediatrisko pacientu drošībai intensīvās terapijas nodaļās. 👏 Paldies visiem, kas piedalījās un dalījās savā aizrautībā un idejās! 💡 Mēs esam vienoti, lai veidotu labāku nākotni bērniem visā pasaulē! Paldies arī pasākuma vadītājam Kaspars Eglītis, diskusiju mederatorēm: Maria Sanchis, PhD un Anda Asere. Hospital Challenge moderatorei Marija Rucevska, kā arī konkursa žūrijai: Arta Bārzdiņa, Marc Ramis Castelltort, David Cole, MBA un Jari Petäjä! Īpašs paldies IGLU Soft Play par skatuves noformējumu un īpašajiem krēsliem, kas tika ražoti īpaši šīs konferences vajadzībām! 🫶

We are honored to have won the Hospital Challenge 2024 at the recent Pediatric Innovation Day organized by i4KIDS I i4KIDS-EUROPE in Riga, Latvia! The competition invited startups from all over Europe to respond with solutions to three critical challenges in pediatric care as identified by C-level representatives within the ECHO - European Children's Hospitals Organisation network: Challenge 1: Improving Clinical Workflow; Challenge 2: Monitoring High-Risk Medication Administration in Pediatric Patients; and Challenge 3: Appointment Management Efficiency. Sencilia was chosen to pitch as one of the six finalists (from over 30 applications) responding to the challenges, along with AT-Biotech, Eniax, Fibbo, Speaknosis, and TORTUS , and we were eventually declared the winners after a pitching contest in Riga. We were awarded a prize of €5000 to be used towards implementing a pilot project within one or more of the Children's Hospitals in the i4KIDS I i4KIDS-EUROPE network, along with a voucher to use the consultancy services of Inveniam Group. This award highlights the urgency of the clinical need of IV infusion monitoring in neonatal and pediatric care, as also pointed out by the expert jury comprising investors, clinicians, and healthcare experts. The vulnerable nature of these patients necessitates the strictest standards of safety and accuracy in drug administration, to avoid preventable medication errors. The Pediatric Innovation Day also underscored a broader theme in pediatric care, namely that medical technology developed for adults is not always applicable to pediatric patients. In other words, children are not "mini-adults" and need products tailored for their own unique medical needs, rather than extrapolated from their adult counterparts. Thanks again to i4KIDS I i4KIDS-EUROPE and Bērnu klīniskā universitātes slimnīca for organizing such an important event that brought all the important stakeholders in pediatric care innovation together under the same roof for a day. We certainly benefitted from in-person conversations with experts such as Marc Ramis Castelltort, Hans-Peter Dauben, Arnau Valls Esteve, Tomàs Lóbez Pérez, and Arta Barzdina among others, in addition to illuminating panel discussions and presentations. We are excited to start collaborating with Children's Hospitals within the i4KIDS I i4KIDS-EUROPE network in order to bring our IV infusion monitoring device a step closer to the market, thus truly addressing the challenge of high-risk medication monitoring in pediatric patients!

We are happy to be selected as one of the six finalists that will pitch at the upcoming Pediatric Innovation Day in Riga, Latvia next week! We are excited to present our IV infusion monitoring technology geared towards addressing the unmet clinical need of 'Monitoring high-risk medications in pediatric patients', posed as a challenge by the ECHO - European Children's Hospitals Organisation. Thanks to i4KIDS I i4KIDS-EUROPE for the opportunity, and looking forward to the event!

We are happy to announce the kick-off of our pilot project with the Erasmus MC NICU department! This project is the result of the 6-week Health Care and Tech 2023 program organized by YES!Delft and Create4Care - Erasmus MC, at the end of which Sencilia was chosen by the jury as one of the three winners. The project will focus on gathering usability insights and identifying important use cases for Sencilia's intravenous (IV) infusion monitoring system in the NICU/PICU at the Erasmus MC. As an early-stage MedTech startup, we are grateful for the opportunity to work closely with one of the leading academic hospitals in Europe, and are excited to collaborate with clinical and medical technology experts who share our passion towards improving the safety of IV therapy in vulnerable patients. Thanks again to the organizers (Erasmus MC and YES!Delft) for this incredible opportunity, and a special shoutout to Timothy Singowikromo (Create4Care - Erasmus MC) for his immense behind-the-scenes help in making this project a reality!
