HeartMan built a personal decision support system for heart failure; ehcoBUTLER developed an ecosystem for independent living of elderly with cognitive impairments.
SENLAB DRUZBA ZA INFORMACIJSKO TEHNOLOGIJO DOO
Slovenian health IT company building decision support systems, wearable integrations, and AI-driven platforms for elderly care and chronic disease management.
Their core work
SenLab is a Slovenian IT company specializing in health monitoring systems and decision support tools for elderly and chronic disease patients. They build software platforms that integrate wearable sensor data, electronic health records, and predictive analytics to support clinical decision-making — particularly for heart failure management and active ageing. Their technical contribution sits at the intersection of IoT health devices, cloud-based data processing, and AI-driven health recommendations.
What they specialise in
Both HeartMan and PHArA-ON involve integrating smart wearables and health devices for continuous patient monitoring.
PHArA-ON explicitly lists artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, and intelligence analytics among its core technologies.
ehcoBUTLER targets elder people with mild cognitive issues; PHArA-ON runs pilots for healthy and active ageing.
HeartMan incorporated cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive dissonance techniques into its digital health approach.
How they've shifted over time
SenLab's early H2020 work (2015-2016) focused on personal health management tools — building decision support for specific conditions like heart failure and ecosystems for elderly independent living. By 2019, their scope expanded toward large-scale pilot platforms combining AI, cloud computing, smart wearables, and marketplace models (PHArA-ON). The shift suggests a move from condition-specific software tools to broader, platform-level digital health infrastructure.
SenLab is moving from narrow clinical decision support toward scalable, AI-enabled health platforms for ageing populations — a growing priority across European health systems.
How they like to work
SenLab exclusively participates as a partner, never as coordinator, which is typical for a specialized SME contributing technical components to larger initiatives. Their 81 unique partners across 17 countries indicate they work in large Innovation Action and Research consortia (averaging 27+ partners per project). This makes them an experienced, low-friction consortium partner accustomed to operating within complex multi-national teams.
SenLab has collaborated with 81 distinct partners across 17 countries through just three projects, reflecting participation in large-scale pan-European health and digital consortia. Their network spans broadly across EU member states without a visible geographic concentration.
What sets them apart
SenLab brings a rare combination for a Slovenian SME: deep experience in health IT systems that bridge clinical decision support with consumer-facing wearable technology. Their consistent focus on elderly and chronic disease populations across all three projects means they understand both the medical requirements and the usability constraints of these user groups. For consortium builders, they offer a proven technical partner for digital health pilots who can handle the software layer between sensors, data, and clinical recommendations.
Highlights from their portfolio
- HeartManTheir largest single funding (EUR 289K) and most technically specific project — combining predictive models with cognitive behavioural therapy for heart failure, an unusual digital-clinical hybrid.
- PHArA-ONLarge-scale pilot project (running to 2024) covering AI, smart wearables, and marketplace models for active ageing — represents their most ambitious platform-level work.
