Fundacja Klaster LifeScience KrakówThe Klaster LifeScience Krakow (KLSK) is a cluster initiative representing an innovation ecosystem involving six groups of interest: businesses, academia, research & innovation, hospitals, business support, and local government. Our strategy and programmes support the growth of the entire ecosystem, not just the partners in the cluster network.
KLSK is the strategic partner of regional authorities in implementing the RIS3 strategy, with “life sciences” serving as the model for regional smart specialisation. We have experience in H2020 projects and received the Seal of Excellence for the “European Digital Innovation Hub – HealthGoDigital” project proposal.
We facilitate the LSOS open collaboration platform to build a life science and health-oriented innovation ecosystem. We are actively involved in two relevant international networks: the Council of European BioRegions and ScanBalt.
We annually organise the international event Life Science Open Space (www.LSOS.info), an open innovation forum dedicated to collaboration for health and quality of life. KLSK has the capacity to collaborate with the central government and effectively facilitate dialogue with regional governments, translating into the ability to deliver results in terms of policy execution.
Finally, our experience in applying systems thinking tools and methods can help to develop and solve complex problems related to innovation ecosystems.

XR in healthcare is no longer just about experimentation. The real challenge is making these technologies usable, integrated, and ready for clinical practice 📢

In our latest article, we explore the Technology Domain, one of the four domains of the CIMIT methodology implemented in the #VRHealthChampions project to support the development and assessment of XR healthcare innovations. From AI Algorithms and anonymised medical data to AR-Headset Technologies, interoperability, and medical navigation software, the Technology Domain focuses on the technical foundations needed to bring innovative solutions into real healthcare settings. The article also highlights how collaboration between SMEs, hospitals, universities, and research organisations across Europe helps accelerate innovation and prepare XR solutions for real-world adoption.

From simulation to real clinical skills – VR is moving closer to healthcare practice 🥽🩺

Within the #VRHealthChampions project, another step is being taken towards practical implementation. This case study by Metaskills and MetaMedicsVR shows how AI-assisted VR training can support the development of essential skills such as communication, empathy and decision-making through immersive clinical scenarios. It’s a strong example of how XR solutions are evolving from early-stage concepts into tools with real value for healthcare professionals and systems. 🔎 Read the full case study: https://vrhealthchampions.eu/from-vr-innovation-to-real-world-implementation-in-european-healthcare/ #VRHealth #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #VirtualReality #HealthTech #VRHealthChampions #I3 #CaseStudy
