UNICOM focused on global medicine identification (IDMP standards), Trillium II on cross-border patient summaries, and SHAPES on digital health for ageing.
GNOMON PLIROPHORIKIS AE
Greek IT company specializing in health informatics, IoT integration, and pharmaceutical data standardisation for European consortia.
Their core work
Gnomon Informatics is a Greek IT company specializing in health informatics, IoT platforms, and interoperability solutions for connected environments. They build software systems that enable data exchange across healthcare networks, smart living environments, and intelligent building ecosystems. Their work spans from eHealth standards implementation (drug databases, pharmacovigilance systems) to IoT integration platforms for elderly care and smart homes. They act as a technical integrator, bringing interoperability and data infrastructure expertise to large EU consortia.
What they specialise in
VICINITY connected smart buildings and objects, ACTIVAGE built IoT environments for ageing well, and SHAPES deployed connected health systems.
UNICOM — their largest project (EUR 701K) — focused on IDMP implementation, drug databases, and pharmacovigilance linked to EMA and eHealth networks.
ACTIVAGE and SHAPES both targeted technology-enabled independent living for older adults, combining IoT with health monitoring.
HEDIMED (2020-2025) applies data mining and simulation models to understand environmental determinants of immune-mediated diseases — a new direction for the company.
How they've shifted over time
In their early H2020 period (2016-2018), Gnomon focused on IoT connectivity and cross-border health data exchange — projects like VICINITY and Trillium II were about linking systems and enabling basic interoperability. From 2019 onward, their work shifted decisively toward health-specific digital infrastructure: pharmaceutical standardisation (UNICOM), community-based smart ageing (SHAPES), and biomedical data analytics (HEDIMED). The trajectory shows a company moving from general IoT/connectivity work toward specialized health informatics with deeper domain expertise.
Gnomon is deepening into health data infrastructure — expect future work in pharmaceutical data systems, exposomics analytics, and digital health platforms for clinical and regulatory use.
How they like to work
Gnomon participates exclusively as a partner, never as coordinator, which suggests they position themselves as a reliable technical contributor rather than a project driver. With 175 unique partners across 26 countries from just 6 projects, they operate in very large consortia (averaging ~30 partners per project). This makes them experienced at integrating into complex multi-partner setups — useful for coordinators who need a dependable IT partner that can plug into large teams without friction.
Gnomon has built a broad European network of 175 unique partners across 26 countries through participation in large-scale consortia. Their reach is pan-European with no obvious geographic concentration beyond their Greek base.
What sets them apart
Gnomon sits at the intersection of IoT engineering and health informatics — a combination that few Greek SMEs offer. Their track record in pharmaceutical data standards (IDMP, EMA systems) combined with smart living platforms gives them a rare dual competency in both regulatory health IT and real-world connected environments. For consortium builders, they bring the technical integration layer that connects health data systems, IoT devices, and standardisation frameworks into working platforms.
Highlights from their portfolio
- UNICOMTheir largest project by far (EUR 701K), focused on scaling global medicine identification standards — positions them in pharmaceutical regulatory IT.
- SHAPESMajor smart ageing initiative (EUR 402K) combining community engagement, IoT connectivity, and interoperability for elderly care across Europe.
- HEDIMEDMarks a strategic pivot into exposomics and biomedical data science, applying their data mining skills to immune-mediated disease research.
