Healthcare Testbed Intermediary (Terva)
Duration: 1.10.2019 – 30.9.2021
Project partners: Turku University of Applied Sciences, Turku University Hospital
Funding: ERDF
Project in a nutshell: In Finland, testing and co-development of health-related solutions is commonly done in organizations that either offer health services, or train healthcare professionals – in the organizations’ healthcare testbeds. However, there are two fundamental problems associated to these services in Finland. Firstly, companies are not aware or the availability or scope of the testbed services. Secondly, the testbed services are rarely a core function of the provider organization. In this project, a solution is provided to these problems in the form of intermediary platform. The platform brings together all healthcare testbeds and finds the most suitable testbed services for the companies.
