C3 - Centre for Connected Care aims to accelerate adoption and diffusion of patient-centric innovations. It will develop, test, and use new products and services to meet future health care needs. Key activities include testing innovations through a living lab; conducting 27 innovation projects on chronic illnesses and new services; publishing 50 articles; and adopting and diffusing innovations both nationally and internationally. The 8-year centre has a budget of 217.6 million NOK jointly funded through industry, university, and research partners.

When selecting SFIs,
two main criteria must
be fulfilled:
Potential for
innovation and value
creation
Scientific quality
About the Centres for Research-based Innovation (SFI) scheme
The SFI scheme was launched in 2005.
This is the third funding round.
Objectives:
•To strengthen companies’ innovation capacity through a focus on long-term research.
•To facilitate close cooperation between R&D-performing companies and prominent
research groups;
•To make Norway an attractive location for international companies to establish their R&D
activities;
•To enhance researcher training in areas of importance for the business sector and society
at large, and encourage transfer of research-based industry and technology.
•The SFI centres are co-funded by the company partners, the host institution and the
Research Council.
•The SFI centres may have a period of operation of maximum eight years (an initial five-
year period plus an additional three-year period).
•Centres must conduct research of high scientific merit that carries great potential for
innovation and value creation to be awarded SFI status.
Centre for Connected Care – Accelerating adoption and diffusion of patient-centric innovations
The centre’s primary objective: To accelerate adoption and diffusion of patient-centric innovations
that change patient pathways and delivery systems, empower the patients and
increases growth in the health care industry.

How do we meet tomorrow’s needs
for health care services?
Global health care challenges
Rising costs,
an ageing population
and increasing public
expectations to
new health care services.
• Development of technology for self-service, such as home based
technology, sensors and health-apps, demand a new infrastructure.
• There is a lack of adoption, diffusion and knowledge transfer locally,
regionally, nationally and internationally.

2. Infrastructure – how do we connect?
(ICT)
3. Implementing good innovative
solutions and spreading the word
(Avoiding the ”not invented here”- syndrome)

Vi must work together to reach our goal

10. Theme 1 Patient-centric healthcare delivery empowering the patient
Development of patient-centric services that integrate people, processes
and technology (sensors and applications) by connecting patients to health
care professionals and home-based services to hospital care.
Theme 2 Innovative infrastructure and interoperability
Development of patient-centric infrastructures and interoperable solutions
that connect people and technology; sensor data and medical information
between patients, professionals, industry and decision-makers.
Theme 3 Commercialization, adoption and diffusion
Development of methodology and business models that enable
commercialization, adoption and diffusion. Further, to quantify the medical
benefits and health value of new solutions to enhance knowledge about
best practice.

The centre is operative for 8 years
The total budget of 217,6 million NOK will ensure
active operations for 8 years. Of this, the Research
Council contributes with 96 million NOK and Oslo
University Hospital with partners contribute with
121,6 million NOK of their own time/efforts.
The yearly budget is on average 27 million NOK. In
total, the plan is to finance about 200 positions over
8 years.
