PERTE Vanguard Health in Castilla y León

By The AIR Institute

PERTE Health, which foresees an investment of 1,469 million euros, combines two investment agendas for 2021-2023: one aimed at the scientific sector and the other at the business sector.

Precision medicine occupies a prominent place in the plan: a treatment that incorporates the patients’ genomic data and combines it with clinical, radiological, environmental exposure, lifestyle habits, socioeconomic factors and other data considered relevant to provide more precise and integrated information on the patient. This data-driven information can help in making decisions about an individual's health, but also about public health. This process implies the need to develop new biomarkers, diagnostic and predictive tools, and technological solutions based on data science. To this end, it is essential to boost knowledge, research and companies in the sector.

PERTE for cutting-edge health has four specific objectives:

  • Position Spain as a leading country in the innovation and development of advanced therapies aimed at curing diseases such as diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, or ALS, among others.
  • Promote the implementation of personalized precision medicine in an equitable manner, favoring the development and creation of competitive companies based on the generation of knowledge to promote this field of medicine.
  • Develop a digital National Health System, with an integrated database that allows for the collection, processing, analysis and exploitation of data from different sources, to improve prevention, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and research.
  • To strengthen primary healthcare through digital transformation, with the application of advanced technology for all activities involving relations with citizens and the management of resources anywhere in the country and in all areas of care, under conditions of cybersecurity.

The conference is organized by the Institute for Business Competitiveness of Castilla y León (ICE) in collaboration with AIR Institute, ITCL Technology Center and CARTIF Technology Center, in the framework of the "Centr@tec3" Program, piloted by ICE in collaboration with the Technology Centers of Castilla León, which are part of the Network of Entrepreneurship and Innovation of Castilla y León (www.redei.es).
