SmartGuide Smart Biopsy Tool for Real-Time Cancerous Cell Characterization at the Tip of the Needle

Coordinator: DUNE MEDICAL DEVICES LTD (IL)

The project will clinically validate a smart biopsy solution that provides real-time direct tissue characterization at the tip of the needle, which can be displayed on the biopsy system screen as well as on the screen of the imaging system used to guide the biopsy, based on data directly related to the disease stage and tissue type.The real-time tissue characterization will improve the accuracy of the diagnosis, reduce the understaging risk by 95%, reduce the false negative rate by 80%, reduce the number of repeat biopsies by 80% and the number of excisional open breast biopsies by 50%, thus …

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €3.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2017-01-01 to 2018-12-31.
