ATONOMICS AS

Their core work

Atonomics is a Danish SME operating in the health technology and diagnostics space, with a focus on patient-centered care solutions. Their coordinated project PaDiCare targeted diabetes self-management in ambulatory settings, suggesting core competence in point-of-care diagnostic devices or digital health tools for chronic disease monitoring. They have also contributed to eHealth solutions for rheumatology (ELECTOR) and research on how green microenvironments affect health and well-being (CHARMED), indicating broader interest in health monitoring and preventive care technologies.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Atonomics entered H2020 in 2015 with a clear focus on clinical eHealth applications (rheumatology, diabetes diagnostics), then broadened in 2017 toward environmental health and well-being research through CHARMED. The shift from device-oriented health tech toward health tourism and green environments suggests an exploration of wellness and preventive health markets. However, with only three projects over a short window (2015–2017), this may reflect opportunistic participation rather than a deliberate strategic pivot.

Their trajectory hints at a move from clinical diagnostics toward broader wellness and preventive health applications, though their H2020 activity stopped in 2017 so current direction is uncertain.

How they like to work

Atonomics operates as both a coordinator (PaDiCare, an SME Instrument Phase 1 project) and a consortium participant. With 26 unique partners across 8 countries from just 3 projects, they have joined medium-to-large consortia rather than leading them. Their single coordination was a small feasibility study, suggesting they are comfortable contributing specialized expertise to larger teams while occasionally testing their own ideas through SME-targeted funding.

Despite only three projects, Atonomics has built connections with 26 partners across 8 European countries, primarily through health-focused consortia. This suggests exposure to a diverse set of research institutions and clinical partners across Europe.

What sets them apart

As a Danish health-tech SME, Atonomics bridges the gap between diagnostic technology and patient-centered care delivery — a niche that combines hardware/sensor know-how with digital health integration. Their experience spans both clinical applications (diabetes, rheumatology) and environmental health research, giving them an unusual cross-disciplinary perspective. For consortium builders, they offer an SME partner with direct experience navigating the SME Instrument and contributing diagnostic expertise to larger RIA and MSCA projects.

Highlights from their portfolio

• ELECTOR
  Largest project by funding (EUR 787K), focused on eHealth in rheumatology — represents their core health technology expertise.
• PaDiCare
  Their only coordinated project, an SME Instrument Phase 1 feasibility study for patient-empowered diabetes care — signals their own product ambitions.
• CHARMED
  An MSCA-RISE project exploring green microenvironments and well-being, showing breadth beyond their core diagnostics focus.
