What they do

Their core work

Comunicare Solutions is a Belgian health-tech SME specializing in AI-powered medical imaging analysis and clinical decision support systems. Their work focuses on applying deep learning to computed tomography (CT) scans for diagnosis and prognosis, particularly in lung cancer and pandemic response contexts. They contribute software and AI components to large European research consortia tackling precision medicine and patient-centered care.

Core expertise

What they specialise in

AI-based medical imaging (CT analysis)primary
2 projects

Central to both icovid (COVID CT diagnosis) and DRAGON (AI-enhanced precision medicine), their two funded participations.

Deep learning for diagnostics and prognosisprimary
2 projects

Deep learning appears as a keyword in both recent projects (icovid and DRAGON), indicating core technical capability.

Cancer immunotherapy clinical trialssecondary
1 project

Participated as third party in IMMUNOSABR, a Phase II trial combining immunotherapy (L19-IL2) with SABR for lung cancer.

Evolution & trajectory

How they've shifted over time

Early focus
Lung cancer immunotherapy support
Recent focus
AI-powered medical imaging diagnostics

Comunicare Solutions entered H2020 in 2017 through cancer treatment research, contributing to the IMMUNOSABR clinical trial on lung cancer immunotherapy as a third party. By 2020, they pivoted decisively toward AI and deep learning applied to medical imaging, joining two projects (icovid and DRAGON) focused on CT-based diagnosis and pandemic decision support. This shift from clinical trial support to AI-driven diagnostics suggests the company built or acquired significant machine learning capabilities between 2017 and 2020.

Moving firmly toward AI/deep learning applications in healthcare, particularly CT-based diagnostics and precision medicine decision support — expect them to pursue further medical AI projects.

Collaboration profile

How they like to work

Role: specialist_contributorReach: European8 countries collaborated

Comunicare Solutions operates exclusively as a contributing partner or third party — they have never coordinated an H2020 project. With 43 unique consortium partners across 8 countries from just 3 projects, they participate in large, multi-national consortia rather than small focused teams. This suggests they provide a specialized technical component (likely AI/software) within larger clinical or research efforts, making them a low-overhead partner to bring into a consortium.

Despite only 3 projects, they have collaborated with 43 partners across 8 countries, indicating involvement in large health research consortia. Their network is concentrated in the European health and clinical research ecosystem.

Why partner with them

What sets them apart

Comunicare Solutions bridges the gap between clinical medicine and AI engineering — a rare combination for a small Belgian SME. Their trajectory from cancer immunotherapy trials to AI-based CT diagnostics means they understand both the clinical context and the technical implementation, which is valuable for consortia that need AI partners who genuinely grasp medical workflows. Their DRAGON project funding (nearly EUR 1M) shows they can win substantial roles despite being a small company.

Notable projects

Highlights from their portfolio

  • DRAGON
    Their largest funded role (EUR 996,595) — an ambitious project applying AI and deep learning to pandemic-era precision medicine and patient empowerment.
  • icovid
    A rapid-response COVID-19 project using AI to analyze chest CT scans, demonstrating the company's ability to deploy imaging AI for urgent public health needs.

Analysis note: Profile based on only 3 projects with limited role diversity (no coordination). The company has no publicly listed website in the data, and one project was as third party only. The pivot from immunotherapy to AI diagnostics is clear but the small sample size means this profile should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
