ROSIA-PCP

What ROSIA-PCP does

ROSIA-PCP is a Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) initiative coordinated by the Instituto Aragonés de Ciencias de la Salud (IACS), a public research entity under the Aragon Health Department in Zaragoza, Spain. Funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 programme under grant agreement No 101017606, the project runs for 54 months (January 2021 through December 2025) with a €5 million budget, of which €3.9 million is allocated to a competitive three-phase R&D tender (Solution Design, Prototype Development, Field Testing). Its buyer group consists of three public healthcare procurers—Servicio Aragonés de Salud (Spain), Unidade Local de Saúde de Coimbra (Portugal), and the National Rehabilitation Hospital (Ireland)—who jointly steer the development of an open telerehabilitation platform for patients in rural and isolated parts of Europe. The 12-partner consortium spans five countries and includes research centres (Eurecat, CERTH/ITI, IGTP, IPN, IFIC), consultancies (VALDE Innova, The Decision Group, IEXP, PPCN), two Portuguese municipalities (Penela, Soure), and a facilitation partner (Eoh-for-Good).

The platform architecture is centred on an open integration layer that combines a service and device catalogue, SDK/APIs for third-party developers, a governance and quality-management system, and a shared care-plan interface for clinicians and patients. Functional components include patient self-management apps, AI-driven recommender systems across the four health pillars, decision support for risk stratification, VR/AR-enabled immersive rehabilitation, inertial-sensor-based monitoring, and a shared care plan with patient management for healthcare teams. Two Phase 3 solutions are being field-tested: REHABILIFY (led by Fundació Eurecat with Doole Health and IGTP) and RAISE (led by CERTH with TELEVES, IBV, Vidavo, University of Ioannina, and INESCTEC), covering seven pathologies—chronic spinal cord injury, acquired brain injury, COPD, arthroplasty, cardiovascular disease, hip fracture, and COVID-19—with over 100 patients piloted across rural Aragón, Coimbra, and Dublin.

The business model is public R&D procurement rather than commercial sales: ROSIA-PCP does not sell the platform; the three procurers act as anchor demand-side participants, and suppliers are selected through open competition. Marketing and stakeholder engagement span the project website, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, YouTube, newsletters, Open Market Consultation events, an online matchmaking platform, co-creation sessions, and a December 2025 end-of-project policy workshop with European Commission representation. Strategic positioning post-2025 depends on commercial uptake of the open platform by additional European public healthcare systems—a step that would be enabled by the certification, evidence, and policy outputs of the project but is not yet contracted.

Core offering

ROSIA-PCP is a Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) project that designs, procures, and field-tests an open telerehabilitation platform for patients in rural and isolated areas of Europe. It jointly procures R&D services from technology providers across three European public healthcare systems (Spain, Portugal, Ireland) through a three-phase competitive process, ultimately delivering an open platform with a catalogue of integrated rehabilitation apps, services, and devices that supports patient self-management and clinical remote monitoring.

Product overview

ROSIA-PCP is a Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) initiative developing an open innovation platform for telerehabilitation in remote rural areas. The offering is structured as a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on the ROSIA Open Platform, which integrates third-party solutions through an app and service catalogue. Two main Phase 3 solutions (REHABILIFY and RAISE) are being field-tested alongside legacy Phase 1/2 solutions (PROHAB, ULTREIA, RehabilityOpen, REHABILITA+). The ecosystem includes patient self-management tools, AI-powered recommender systems, decision support for clinicians, and SDK/APIs for developers to build and integrate rehabilitation applications. Seven pathologies are targeted: chronic spinal cord injury, acquired brain injury, COPD, arthroplasty, cardio-vascular disease, hip fracture, and COVID-19.
