3.1 Publishable summary
The aim of the Future Internet CHallenge eHealth (FICHe) project is to challenge European small and
mid-sized enterprises (SME) and startups that develop innovative applications and businesses in the
eHealth market building upon the available FIWARE technology, i.e. FIWARE generic enablers,
specific enablers and/or domain specific platforms (www.fiware.org ). The most promising and
innovative proposals complying the requirements of each phase have been selected by an
Independent Review Committee (IRC) to continue to the next phases. 80 teams entered the first
phase with grant of 15.000€, 40 continued with 50.000€, and 20 finalists entered the third and last
phase, receiving 152.000€. In addition to direct funding SMEs and startups have received technical
training and business coaching, and have tested their solutions in the field labs (Living labs).
Figure 1: The process of FICHe accelerator project
During the final period FICHe Phase3 was finalized. Top 20 companies further developed their PoC
into a field lab tested market ready prototype, while elaborating their business model and go-to-
market strategy.
During the final period the main achievements have been:
- Support the testing of prototypes in the Living Labs
- Individual online coaching
- Arranging webinars and events to Top20 companies and FIWARE community
- Matchmaking SMEs with experts
- Arranging the closing event
Important outcome of the FICHe project will be the reinforcement of the directly benefited SMEs as
world-class companies, capable of successfully competing at the global level. Reaching critical mass
by the easier access to international funding and markets, will boost their growth while reducing
market fragmentation in Europe. New business niches and untapped opportunities for SMEs and
startups will be discovered through the involvement of end users of the eHealth market. These

Tasks of the WP5 included an individual coaching on business, eHealth and user involvement fields
as well as technical support of FIWARE technology.
3.2.2.1.1 Support: coaching, webinars and events, matchmaking
FICHe provided the tailored support services for the participants. Based on interviews with
European accelerator programs and incubators combined with lessons of the Lean Start-up method
framework was developed. The framework of the phase 3 illustrated below (Figure 4: Framework -
Phase 3 approach) was used to structure the process while still maintaining flexibility as all
participants had different challenges at different times. The phase 3 was divided into three periods:
Preparation, Action and Results.
The action period started already in October and continued until the end of February 2016. In this
period the participants focused on six different development areas: Living Lab, Go-to-Market,
Business model, Funding, FIWARE, and Team. FICHe provided the tailored support for the
participants in the areas of: mentoring, expert coaching, webinars, events and matchmaking. In the
third period participants focused on delivering the defined end deliverables.
Figure 4: Framework - Phase 3 approach
FP7 – 632913 CONFIDENTIAL FICHe – Final intermediate Report

A questionnaire was launched in the end of the Phase3 in order to get feedback from all FICHe start-
ups and SMEs. All Top 20 companies answered the questionnaire, however only one Phase1/2
company answered the questionnaire.
Mentoring and Expert Coaching
The mentors continued to act as ‘the hub to knowledge’ for the participants. The mentoring
activities included regular online one-to-one meetings. During the subsequent meetings,
information about the activities and reviews about the living labs took place, as well as reminders
for the FICHe webinars and events, making sure that the companies were aware and able to
participate in. Furthermore, the mentor coached on the activities that had to be done in Phase3 and
monitored the progress against DOW. In total there were 19 mentors during Phase3. The specific
coaching was also provided through a community of experts. There were altogether 29 expert
coaches.
Based on the result of the questionnaire answered by Top 20 SMEs and start-ups the mentoring and
expert coaching were seen very important and useful. The support variated based on the needs of
the company. Most important value of mentoring by top 20: Focus (9) 45%, Experience (10) 50%,
Network (5) 25%, Other 1 (5%). The main topics mentioned by companies were: the mentors and
experts shared their knowledge, network and experience on both eHealth business and technical
perspective as well as made sure that companies kept on track and finished the acceleration with a
market ready product.
“The most important value from mentors is that they have helped to think in different thinks that are important for our product and business, and in the daily work you don't think.” (Source: FICHe questionnaire for Top 20 companies, April 2016) “New ways we didn't know for our business development and those related with the living lab in the hospital processes and interests.” (Source: FICHe questionnaire for Top 20 companies, April 2016) “Have an insight in the investors mind was really helpful.” (Source: FICHe questionnaire for Top 20 companies, April 2016)
Webinars and events
Participants were interviewed by the mentors regarding the most important topics of which they
would like to gain more expertise. Based on the results the following Webinars were organised in
this period:

Furthermore two FICHe companies (NeuroAtHome and Umanick) were selected to FIWARE VIP
program. They were selected among ~1 000 FIWARE companies. One of the main benefits been in
the VIP program was the VIP bootcamp, which content was tailored for the participants. There
participants modified their pitch decks and reserved individual coaching, met investors and
expanded their network.
3.2.2.1.2 Field trials (living labs)
During the final period the participants performed their field test activities either in their own living
labs or living labs provided by the consortium partners. AEB, OUL and SMS supported participants
in various ways:
For the business to business approach in Amsterdam it was essential to find the right healthcare
organizations and hospitals for a living lab. The mentors brought in their experience, network and
connecting skills to be as effective as possible for the companies. Issues were discussed frequently
between the Dutch mentors. According to one company, Clinical Graphic, mentorship has helped
them in overcoming collaboration challenges. One of the companies set up a living lab at a care
institution in Amsterdam and other companies got advice regarding setting up field tests in other
living labs close to Amsterdam. Scyfer and Clinical Graphics worked together in a Living Lab for one
hospital after advice by their mentor. The results were good and they continued collaboration and
found their potential launching customer, Bergman Clinics in the Netherlands.

OULLabs user experience (UX) specialist from University of Oulu carried out three UX evaluations of
the solutions of FICHe participants mentored by Finnish partners (OUL and BOU). The evaluations
were performed in January – February 2016. Another more comprehensive test case has been
planned to be conducted in a real healthcare environment involving medical specialist and patients
after FICHe project, however all the planning and preparations were done in February – May 2016.
Murcia Living Lab continued hosting the seven (7) living lab test projects from FICHe participants
mentored by Spanish partners (TBM, FFIS, SMS). During the living lab testing the functionality and
analysis of the solutions were improved as in many cases associated clinical mentors evaluated the
solutions and value creation processes aiming to solve issues after the end of the project, and also
determine which solutions would be worth of continuing with. More than 25 clinical professionals
have worked directly or indirectly with testing the solutions. Professional mentoring has led the
solutions being tested in Murcia better adapt to the demands of market needs. From the beginning,
SMS made all possible resources available to companies and their solutions, both in terms of their
clinical knowledge in each of the areas, processes or solutions in order to engage proven
professionals.
As a great result from the point of view of SMS, 5 of the 7 solutions are considering the continuation
of living lab, which will allow them to further improve their capabilities with the help of permanent
real environment and receive advice by the professionals of each area. Some of the companies also
are at the starting point of a final future acquisition after this period.
Another important value gathered through Living Lab has been the media coverage that has been
given to the solutions being tested. Visibility was great on various radio and television channels, and
especially the participation of the Minister of Regional Health, Murcia helped to disseminate FICHe
in various health forums in the country of national and international importance., One of the
solutions has been awarded as the best solution in the world in the field of RFID technology in
Orlando, USA by the prestigious magazine RFID journal, which was also noticed in media.
The companies valued the outcome of the living lab testing of their solutions in a real environment
as significantly higher than expected, all agreed that living lab testing has given a great value to their
solutions and work as a reference for future marketing and sales. The living lab helped to detect
problems, fix technical bugs, and optimize the solution as well to improve the product. Moreover,
the living lab kept the pressure on the development of the solution. For example, some companies
made major improvements based on the usability and reliability findings. 7 of the 20 companies felt
that the living lab phase was a true reality check which brought them back on the track of the patient
and market needs. Nevertheless, due to the short time, some SMEs, hadn’t got the opportunity to
incorporate user feedback from the living lab into their products, although had the chance to make
several iterations of improvements based on feedback of internal testers or friends. For some SMEs
living lab also gave the opportunity to learn a lot about the public health sector and its technology.

“It has helped us on detecting problems on our solution and fixing technical bugs. We have
learned a lot about the public health sector and its technology.” (Source: FICHe questionnaire for Top 20 companies, April 2016)
“We realized that the problem articulated by clinicians in the earlier phases was the wrong
one and we had to change direction to solve the underlying problem” (Source: FICHe questionnaire for Top 20 companies, April 2016)
“Living lab had a very large impact on the product especially around product reliability and
usability, and required several major product iterations.” (Source: FICHe questionnaire for Top 20 companies, April 2016)
Almost all top 20 companies will continue to use the living lab approach in their product and solution
development. This will allow them to further improve their capabilities with the help of real
environment and receive advice by the professionals and patients. As a result of the Murcia living
labs, some of the companies also are at the starting point of a final future acquisition.
“Living Lab has been essential for us for fixing our solution. We will continue using living
labs to continue testing and proving the benefits of our solution in the future, with the same
technology as well as with new developments.” (Source: FICHe questionnaire for Top 20 companies, April 2016)
“The Living Lab process (user testing and refinement) is essential in any development
process, we will be continuing to do this in the future.” (Source: FICHe questionnaire for Top 20 companies, April 2016)
“Absolutely critical. We will always involve users throughout the development process.” (Source: FICHe questionnaire for Top 20 companies, April 2016)
3.2.2.1.3 Collecting all prototypes, plans, reports and strategies
In the January 2016 the Mid-term review was held. In the review the progress of all 20 participants
against the DOW was reviewed. The mentors were the main reviewers, as they had followed the
progress of the participant monthly basis. In addition, FIWARE expert reviewed the progress of the
implementation of the FIWARE technology. Together mentors and FIWARE experts proposed the
approval or rejection of the review to the consortium. All 20 companies passed the review.
In March, 2016, the submission form on F6S was opened to the 20 participants. All participants were
asked to upload to F6S the six obligatory deliverables of Phase3:
- FIWARE implementation document
- Field test report(s)
- Revised Business model
FP7 – 632913 CONFIDENTIAL FICHe – Final intermediate Report
14
- Go-to-strategy materials
- Demo-video of the working prototype
- Investor Pitch Deck
- Funding plan including clear exit strategy
End deliverables review took place in April 2016. The mentors, FIWARE experts and representative
of University of Oulu reviewed the end deliverables of the all 20participants. . Together reviewers
proposed the approval or rejection of the review to the consortium. 16 companies passed the
review on the first time. 4 participants needed to enhance their documents as well as clarify their
implementation of FIWARE technology. In the second review round the end deliverables of the last
four participants were approved.
As a result all the 20 companies were able to showcase their solutions in the Health 2.0 conference
in Barcelona, Spain.
3.2.2.2 WP 6 – Promotion and dissemination
The main objectives of the final period were to promote FICHe project and the companies, to
organize a closing event as well as to share information among project participants.
In order to achieve the objectives, multiple activities were organized during this period. Start-ups
and their milestones were promoted via multiple media channels, several events and meetings were
leveraged to get attention to the startups, active matchmaking between investors and partners was
organized, a press release and FICHe portfolio was published, and finally the closing event was
organized in Barcelona.
3.2.2.2.1 Promotion
During the phase 3 the main communication channels continued to be Twitter and the web portal.
In this period, Twitter was used to promote events, activities and milestones. Several articles were
also published on the website. The website, F6S, Mobilize.io, and media channels of the partners
were used to promote the closing event. Especially in Spain there was a lot of exposure created via
radio, newspapers and television.
To promote the results of FICHe and the startups, a press release for the closing event was issued.
This press release was published by multiple press and websites. The portfolio, a 50+ page booklet
containing information on the startups, project partners and FIWARE was also made. The booklet is
still available in digital form: http://bit.ly/23vODh9
To gain more attention to the startups, the project partners leveraged multiple events. In Spain
during several meetings and events (e.g. Mobile World Congress and Health2.0) FICHe startups were
able to present on stage and discuss issues. In The Netherlands PX Healthcare, Scyfer, Betawerk,
Psious, and NeuroAtHome joined the Startup2Scaleup event organized by project partner
FP7 – 632913 CONFIDENTIAL FICHe – Final intermediate Report
15
Digitalezorg.nl, together with the Ministry of Health. They were able to meet with 280 investors,
partners and policymakers from The Netherlands. The Dutch startups were also invited to the high
profile investors’ dinner. In Finland Netictech together with E3 project (E-health services
Everywhere and for Everyone https://www.celticplus.eu/project-e3/ ) showcased MedVC to their
main customers: doctors, medical experts and decision makers.
During the closing event as well as during the Startup2Scaleup event, the FICHe startups were
exposed to digital health investors. At the closing event 30+ investors joined, at Startup2Scaleup 15
digital health investors joined.
The Amsterdam Economic Board took advantage of the health ecosystem in the Amsterdam
Metropolitan Area to communicate the impact and results of on the Board website, and through
the Board’s Twitter and LinkedIn accounts. In addition, two of the finalists were taken up in a two
pitch events during dedicated sessions in the eHealth week 2016. The eHealth week 2016 was also
used to further disseminate FICHe results, to incorporate FICHe experience in a Dutch national
eHealth fund.
FICHe participated also in the INFORSALUD 2016 event, which offered a unique opportunity for
health professionals, researchers, industry, and public sector to expose and share their demands
and needs, and to discuss how to proceed in improving the quality and continuity of care with the
help of ICT. For FICHe the event was a good opportunity to showcase the project methodology of
Living Lab and the developed solutions.
3.2.2.2.2 Closing Event
The closing event of FICHe was organised in conjunction with Health 2.0 Europe in Barcelona in
order to leverage all available resources and count with key stakeholders in digital health that will
attend the event as well as provide networking opportunities for companies. The event is one of the
leading digital health startup and investor event.
The event attracted 600+ delegates and over 30 digital health investors from across Europe. During
the promotion of the event a lot of attention was raised for FICHe as partner and the co-hosting as
closing event.

During the event the Top 20 companies showcased their solution and usage of FIWARE technology
into their products in the exhibition space, pitched in front of the investors and presented their
solution on the main stage.
The first day was dedicated to meet the investors and pitch in front of them. This EC2VC meeting
was organized by the GET project. European startups could apply for pitching and out of over 100
applications, three FICHe startups were selected: HealthApp, MintLabs and UMANICK. All three
companies pitched in front of investors and received valuable feedback.
Figure 8: EC2VC event in Health 2.0
The second and third day of the event was organized as a conference with many speakers and
network opportunities. As FICHe partnered with this conference, we were able to offer the twenty
companies premium exhibition space. The 20 booths were positioned close to the drinks and lunch
area, which assured that there was enough traffic and attention for the companies. Many startups
FP7 – 632913 CONFIDENTIAL FICHe – Final intermediate Report
17
commented that they had opportunity to talk to potential partners and customers in the event. The
FICHe portfolio booklet made for the event was spread among the conference delegates.
Figure 9: Exhibition area
Startups had also an opportunity to apply to present their solution on main stage throughout the
conference. From the FICHe startups HealthApp, MedBravo, MindMyths, MintLabs and MySphera
were selected to present. Their presentations were scattered throughout the two days and
presented in between in-depth sessions to maximize attention.

The milestones in the reporting period were:
- M8: Closing event According to Description of the Work (Annex I of Grant agreement FICHe (Contract 632913)) all
deliverables and the last milestone M8 were achieved on schedule.
Overall, resources have been used slightly more than planned in the end of month 25. Almost 184
person months, which is 9 PMs more than planned, has been used across all work packages. The
main reasons were an intense coaching in the phase 3 and strong support in Living Lab field testing.
However, the costs remained within total budget because work was partly done by staff with lower
PM rate.
Monthly project meetings procedure has been continued as in the first period for sharing
information and to discuss relevant issues. Action point procedure and their accomplishment have
been monitored and supported by the Coordinator. A16 meeting was in Milan in January. Project
coordinator Ms. Satu Väinämö (OUL) attended the meeting as FICHe representative. In addition the
Coordinator has participated in A16 telcos and FIWARE expert Bas Kotterink (TNO) has participated
in FI-PPP steering meeting in May as FICHe representative. General Assembly was held on February
16-17 2016 in Murcia. Altogether 12 participants attended the meeting. All consortium members
were present except one who participated via skype. This was the fourth face-to-face meeting with
consortium. The general aim of the GA meeting was to discuss the phase3, the closing event and
finalizing the project. Additionally other current project issues were discussed.
