MedWaveImage addresses pressing healthcare challenges in Central Europe, where demographic shifts are creating medical undersupply in rural and peripheral areas. At the same time, the region benefits from strong academic institutions with expertise in cutting-edge medical technologies. The project aims to bridge the gap between research and practice by transferring innovative solutions from universities to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially in underserved regions. The central focus is microwave imaging (MWI), a promising technology that uses low-power, non-ionising radiation to safely monitor and diagnose health conditions. MWI devices are portable, cost-effective, and easy to maintain using widely available telecom hardware, ideal for decentralized healthcare delivery without requiring large infrastructure investments. MedWaveImage facilitates the transfer of research-level knowledge on MWI to territorial SMEs, enabling integration with artificial intelligence and the development of next-generation medical devices. These innovations will be introduced into clinical settings by partner hospitals. The project’s key outcome will be the development and pilot testing of MWI-based devices targeting three high-impact conditions: neck cancer, breast cancer, and cerebrovascular diseases. Devices will be tested in hospitals with the specific expertise to ensure clinical feasibility and relevance. By fostering cooperation between research institutions, high-tech manufacturers, and clinical partners across Central Europe, MedWaveImage supports regional innovation, strengthens healthcare delivery, and helps reduce the urban-rural divide in medical services.
