Imagine if keeping people healthy was treated like a smart stock investment instead of just a monthly bill. This project creates a way for different organizations to pool their money and share the risk of funding health programs. If the programs work and people stay healthy, the investors see a return on their money.
Governments face shrinking budgets for healthcare, making it impossible to fund the prevention of diseases. Current systems treat health as a cost to be managed rather than an asset to be grown.
A taxonomy of Smart Capacitating Investments, a collaborative governance platform prototype, and a social franchising package for scaling health services.
If you are a health insurance provider dealing with rising costs of chronic disease treatment — this project developed Smart Capacitating Investment (SCI) models that shift spending from repairing illness to preventing it, creating sustainable returns.
If you are a regional authority dealing with shrinking budgets for healthcare — this project developed a collaborative platform and taxonomy to attract private investment into public health promotion.
If you are a clinic operator dealing with unstable funding for prevention services — this project developed a social franchising package that allows these services to scale across different regions.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided; the project focuses on creating the finance models themselves.
Yes, the project is developing a social franchising package specifically designed for large-scale demonstration and scaling of health services.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing terms are not specified, though the project involves 18 partners across 8 countries.
The project specifically tests these models in real-world environments in Sweden, Germany, Spain, and the UK to ensure they work within both tax and insurance-based systems.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-06-30, with initial testbeds already being prepared in the first 18 months.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and public administration, featuring 6 universities, 4 research organizations, and 7 other entities (mostly public), with only 1 industry partner and 3 SMEs. This suggests the output is currently more policy- and evidence-driven than commercially mature, though the inclusion of 8 different countries ensures the models are tested across diverse European regulatory environments.
