Tender: Digital Twins and AI for Personalized Healthcare – Congenital and Complex Conditions (3Dx3C)

Vall d'Hebron University Hospital (HUVH) in Barcelona has launched a tender worth about EUR 7.3 million for a development service in congenital and complex diseases. The project, called 3Dx3C, will use and co-develop solutions based on new digital technologies to manage these conditions on a personalised basis. These diseases vary widely in their clinical picture and diagnosis, so the hospital wants care models based on personalised medicine that improve health outcomes and patients' quality of life. HUVH is a reference centre and a member of several European Reference Networks. The operation falls under the objective "A More Competitive and Smarter Europe", Investment Priority 1C: Digital and Smart Transition, STEP (Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform). The opportunity page does not mention any lots.

The scope centres on digital twins linked to each patient's clinical profile. These personalised predictive models are meant to improve diagnosis, the planning and guidance of surgical and interventional procedures, and medical treatment. The hospital wants to co-develop disruptive digital solutions with industry in robotics, navigation, computing and artificial intelligence. Under this public-private model, HUVH drives the work and provides the clinical validation environment, so that developments meet real needs of the Catalan healthcare system. The goal is for the resulting solutions to reach the market and be used routinely in clinical practice as decision-support tools, with knowledge transferred to the regional healthcare and industrial ecosystem.

The tender runs as an open procedure, with performance in Barcelona. Tenders must arrive by 22 October 2026 at 14:00, and the contract is to be performed from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029. The source does not describe options, lots or the submission portal and language.
