OMNIA: Omics and Medicine for New Intelligent Applications

(June 2026 / November 2028)

  • Programme: PN RIC 2021-2027 (MUR DD 307 18/03/2025) - Action 1.1.2 - Action 1.1.3b
  • Coordinator: Tuscany Health Ecosystem scarl
  • Consortium: 15 partners (IT)

Abstract

OMNIA-BRIDGE4SOUTH (Action 1.1.2) is a research and innovation project aimed at transforming the healthcare landscape through the development and industrialization of advanced technologies for the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of complex diseases. By integrating nanotechnologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital solutions, OMNIA aims to create a permanent hub of healthcare innovation, capable of translating scientific findings into scalable and sustainable products and processes. The project focuses on two clinical areas with high social and healthcare impact: colorectal cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders, with particular attention to ADHD and autism spectrum disorders. OMNIA develops non-invasive diagnostic technologies, nanovectors for personalized drug delivery, Digital Therapeutics (DTx) platforms, and robotic rehabilitation systems. The adoption of Explainable AI, Federated Learning, and Generative AI models optimizes the design of nanomaterials, improves clinical prediction, and ensures the protection of personal data. The solutions will achieve a TRL of between 7 and 8, with clinical validation in real-world environments and a structured path to certification and market entry. The project fosters the growth of SMEs by offering regulatory support, prototyping, validation, and technology transfer services, strengthening Italy's competitive position in the health technology sector.
OMNIA-INNOVATION4SOUTH (Action 1.1.3b) represents a territorial, thematic, and methodological extension of what has already been initiated in Tuscany by the coordinator THE scarl. The primary objective is to expand skills through the full inclusion of all partnership stakeholders in the innovation processes that will develop through the consolidation of existing physical structures and the expansion of specific technological platforms, implemented to meet the need to strengthen the positioning of the research system. The strategic objectives are the territorial expansion of the Tuscany Health Ecosystem (THE - PNRR) in Southern Italy and the development of an Innovation Hub in the South, dedicated to the promotion of advanced technologies and services in the health sector. Knowledge-intensive companies will be involved in the initial co-design phases for the definition of technological needs, the validation of prototypes, and preclinical testing based on the results of the activities of Action 1.1.2. You will have access to specialized know-how and exceptional expertise in the scientific and technological fields, increasing your ability to generate innovative solutions and your competitiveness in national and international markets.
