Accompanying programs
Introduction
Through the BRING_IT Program, the centers that are part of the units associated with Parc Taulí according to PT23 ISCIII (I3PT, Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa, Mutua Terrassa, Badalona Care Services, Hermanas Hospitalarias, Fundació Sanitària Mollet, Iris CC, Consorci Sanitari de l'Anoia, Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu), they will have access to a portfolio of project valuation services.
With these services, research personnel participating in one of the three Programs we offer will obtain essential tools and resources both for the validation and the valorization of their ideas/proposals.
The Programs aim to create, support and value innovative ideas in order to transfer this knowledge to the market. These Support Programs will be carried out with the support of the innovation team of the Parc Taulí Research and Innovation Institute (I3PT), using methodologies validated by reference bodies (CIMIT in Boston and Stanford).
These Programs are set up from the "Unidad de Dynamización e Innovación Unicentrico Integrado Parc Taulí" project, financed from the ISCIII Platform for supporting R&D+i in Biomedicine and Health Sciences (ITEMAS).
Programs
The GENES_IT program aims to provide an innovation consultancy service to the professionals of the participating centers of the "Node". Program participants will have the opportunity to develop a new innovative project with the help of an I3PT innovation team for free.
During the program, support will be given to capture and create innovative ideas, based on the identification of unmet needs in the centers, which can continue to grow and be further developed in the BRING_IT program.
The program, based on Stanford's BIODESIGN methodology (adapted to Catalonia by BIOCAT), helps to develop immature ideas (TLR 0-2) from the identification of the need to the invention and selection of possible solutions. It is organized in five phases:
- 1 phase: Detection of the need
- 2 phase: Need filtering
- 3 phase: Detection of the solution
- 4 phase: Solution filtering
- 5 phase: Presentation of results
BRING_IT is a Support Program to help develop and mature innovative ideas, once the possible solution for an unmet need has been detected (TLR 2-4). The goal is to work with projects that are in an immature phase and help them to value the product so that it can be transferred to the market in the future. These projects can continue their development with the GROW_IT Program.
The Program, based on methodology Boston CEMETERY (adapted to Catalonia by CIMTI), addresses the development and progress of health innovation projects from four key domains: clinical, market and business, regulatory and technology. In addition, the work methodology will be based on the achievement of specific milestones for each of the domains to advance development in a faster, orderly and efficient manner. It is organized in four phases:
- 1ª phase: Need not covered
- 2ª phase: Development of the idea
- 3ª phase: Presentation and preparation of the pitch
- 4ª phase (optional): Preparation of the call
The GROW_IT program has been designed to promote projects in more advanced phases (TLR 4-6), which have a well-developed idea, with the aim that they can continue to advance in the valorization of the product to reach the market.
In the same way as BRING_IT, the program is based on the Boston CIMIT methodology (adapted to Catalonia by CIMIT), through which projects are valued from four key domains: clinical, market and business, regulatory and technological . This methodology recommends advancing specific goals for each of the domains mentioned, achieving that the projects advance in a faster, orderly and effective way.
GROW_IT works on the continuation of phase 1 and 2 of the previous program, being these:
- Phase 1: Proof of concept
- Phase 2: Feasibility test
Benefits
- Creation of strategic project documentation.
- Presentation of the project to calls for competitive funding.
- Work according to an organized and efficient methodology.
- Development of innovation projects. In addition, during participation in the Programs, you will be supported by a team with experience in innovation and entrepreneurship, and you will have access to a network of key stakeholders for your project.
- Obtaining services associated with the Programs such as: dissemination of information, study of intellectual property, contact with industry, etc.
- Project preparation and evaluation before a specialist jury.
