Project brief: The MedWaveImage project is funded by the Interreg Central Europe Transnational Cooperation Programme. It aims to improve the healthcare infrastructure in Central Europe, where, due to demographic changes, the shortage of doctors in peripheral and rural areas is a major problem that needs to be addressed in the near future.  Addressing innovation-related challenges will help reduce territorial disparities between regions and will be key to overcoming the urban-rural divide. The MedWaveImage project therefore aims to support the transfer of technology and innovation from universities to territorial SMEs in order to promote the uptake of innovative solutions and reduce the innovation divide in non-urbanised areas by improving access to innovative technologies.

The central technology implemented in the MedWaveImage project will be microwave imaging (MWI), which has great potential to address the identified challenges and needs. Firstly, it uses low-energy non-ionising radiation, so there is no risk to patients, which increases its acceptance. Second, MWI devices are portable, cost-effective and easy to maintain due to the implemented hardware, which is widely used for telecommunication purposes. 

The main outcome of the project will be the implementation and clinical deployment of MWI-based medical devices for widely spread diseases with high socio-economic impact in Central Europe: throat cancer, breast cancer and cerebrovascular diseases. The target group will be hospitals, medical centres, the general public, SMEs, universities and research organisations.
