* Purpose: To support and accelerate innovative solutions to address challenges in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
* Emphasis: Collaboration between the pharmaceutical industry (Gilead), healthcare professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, patient associations, and academia.
* Rigor & Ambition: The program is described as having meaningful “rigor and ambition,” suggesting a demanding selection process and a focus on impactful projects.
* Selection Process: Projects are evaluated by an independent committee of experts in HIV innovation,entrepreneurship,health innovation,and science.
* Partnerships: Strong support from key organizations like EIT Health Spain, the spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC), and others (GESIDA, SEISIDA, RIS, CESIDA).
Winning Projects (categorized):
* Category 1: Accelerating Early Diagnosis & Prevention – HIVision Spain
* Type: Spatial intelligence platform.
* function: Uses clinical, behavioral, and territorial data to inform health policy, accelerate early diagnosis, and optimize prevention strategies.
* Technology: A “digital twin” of the epidemic allows for scenario testing and targeted microplans.
* Team: INCLIVA, University Clinical Hospital of Valencia, Center for Epidemiological Studies on Sexually Transmitted Infections and AIDS of Catalonia, and the Anti-AIDS Committee of valencia.
* Category 2: Improving Serology & Reducing Late Diagnosis – ALERTA-HIV
