AI-Powered Pandemic Early Warning and Crisis Management Toolset for Health Authorities

healthPilotedTRL 7

Imagine a control room that watches social media chatter, news feeds, and hospital data to spot a disease outbreak before it spreads — like a weather radar, but for pandemics. STAMINA built exactly that: a set of connected tools that help health authorities predict outbreaks, run rapid diagnostic tests at the point of care, and coordinate their response across borders. It was tested through 12 real demonstrations across Europe, plus one large cross-border exercise with all 40 partners involved. The whole package — from smart wearable screening devices to AI-driven decision support — was refined to be ready for real-world use.

The business problem

What needed solving

Health authorities and emergency responders currently struggle with fragmented information during disease outbreaks — they lack real-time visibility into what's happening, cannot reliably predict how an outbreak will evolve, and have no unified interface for coordinating response across organizations and national borders. This means slower detection, delayed action, and communication breakdowns between agencies when speed matters most.

The solution

What was built

The project delivered a complete decision support toolset including: real-time web and social media analytics for outbreak detection, point-of-care diagnostic devices and smart wearables for rapid screening, predictive pandemic modeling with AI/ML, an early warning system, a crisis management tool, a scenario generator for training exercises, and a Common Operational Picture interface tying it all together. The toolset went through beta release, final integrated release with validation, and was declared ready for commercialization.

Business applications

Who can put this to work

Public Health & Emergency Management

enterprise

Target: National or regional public health agencies and civil protection authorities

If you are a public health authority dealing with outbreak detection delays and fragmented crisis response — this project developed an integrated decision support toolset with real-time social media analytics, predictive outbreak modeling, and a Common Operational Picture that was demonstrated across 12 national and regional exercises with 40 partners from 17 countries.

Medical Diagnostics & Wearables

mid-size

Target: Diagnostic device manufacturers and medtech companies

If you are a medtech company looking for next-generation point-of-care testing solutions — this project developed rapid POCT screening devices and smart wearables for first-line infectious disease detection, validated through real demonstration scenarios. The diagnostic and monitoring tools deliverable includes detailed specifications and working prototypes ready for integration into commercial product lines.

GovTech & Crisis Software

SME

Target: Software companies building emergency management or surveillance platforms

If you are a GovTech company that sells crisis management or situational awareness software — this project built a modular toolset including early warning systems, scenario generation for training, and a Common Operational Picture interface. The toolset went through a beta release and a final integrated release validated across 12 demonstrators, and was declared ready for commercialization.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What would it cost to license or deploy the STAMINA toolset?

The project data does not include specific licensing fees or deployment costs. The coordinator is EXUS SOFTWARE, a Greek SME, which developed the toolset to be 'ready for commercialization.' Pricing would need to be negotiated directly with the consortium. SciTransfer can facilitate that introduction.

Can this scale to cover an entire country or multiple countries?

Yes — the toolset was explicitly designed for cross-border use and was demonstrated at both national and regional levels across 17 countries. The large-scale cross-border simulation exercise involved all 40 consortium partners, proving it can handle multi-country coordination.

Who owns the IP, and can I license specific components?

IP is distributed across the 40-partner consortium, coordinated by EXUS SOFTWARE (Greece). As an Innovation Action, the project was designed with commercialization in mind — one deliverable is explicitly titled 'STAMINA Toolset ready for commercialization.' Licensing individual components (e.g., just the diagnostic tools or just the early warning module) would need to be discussed with the relevant partners.

Does this comply with EU health data regulations?

The project was funded under the EU Security topic (SU-DRS05-2019) and designed for use by EU public authorities. Based on the project scope involving health data and cross-border information sharing among 17 countries, data governance was a core concern. Specific GDPR compliance details would need to be confirmed with the consortium.

How long would it take to deploy this in our organization?

The toolset went through a beta release followed by a final integrated release validated across 12 demonstrators. Since it reached 'ready for commercialization' status, deployment timelines would depend on your existing infrastructure and which components you need. The consortium includes 13 industry partners experienced in integration work.

Can the STAMINA tools integrate with our existing crisis management systems?

The toolset was built with a Common Operational Picture as the main interface, designed to enable coordinated response across different organizations and borders. The modular architecture — separate components for early warning, diagnostics, scenario generation, and decision support — suggests individual modules can be integrated into existing workflows.

Is there ongoing support or maintenance after the project ended?

The project closed in February 2023. Ongoing support would depend on EXUS SOFTWARE and other consortium partners who developed specific components. With 13 industry partners and 11 SMEs in the consortium, several organizations have commercial incentives to continue offering support and development.

Consortium

Who built it

This is one of the larger EU consortia you'll encounter — 40 partners across 17 countries, which signals serious cross-border coordination capability. The industry ratio is 33% (13 companies), with 11 of those being SMEs, meaning the technology was developed close to market needs rather than purely in labs. The coordinator, EXUS SOFTWARE from Greece, is itself an SME — a good sign that commercialization is driven by a company with skin in the game, not a university. With 6 universities and 12 research organizations providing the scientific backbone, and 9 other organizations (likely public health authorities and civil protection agencies) as end users, the consortium covers the full chain from research to real-world deployment.
