DIGIT-PRE supports innovative European SMEs in accelerating the development of digital health solutions, fostering cross-border collaboration, and transforming promising ideas into market-ready products. Among the many initiatives supported by the programme, three sub-projects are great examples of progress and impact created in DIGIT-PRE. Below, discover their road to innovation!
1. DCDCare: Transforming early diagnosis and rehabilitation for children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)
Led by ReMotion in Hauts-de-France and supported by LumenArt in the South Netherlands, DCDCare is a powerful example of how DIGIT-PRE enables SMEs to scale their innovation beyond regional borders. ReMotion contributes its pioneering work in VR, motion sensing, and AI-based rehabilitation, while LumenArt enhances the therapeutic experience through interactive, responsive lighting environments. Together, they offer an immersive and holistic rehabilitation approach tailored for children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD).
DCDCare stands out because it successfully addresses a major clinical challenge: early detection and intervention for DCD. This condition often requires lengthy, fragmented assessments. The project introduced a transformative solution that digitises and accelerates the entire process. Children engage in playful, interactive exercises that deliver immediate feedback, while therapists receive a precise diagnostic report in only fifteen to twenty minutes, significantly reducing administrative burden and improving accuracy.
Clinical trials have already been launched in Tunisia, more than thirty therapists across France and Tunisia have taken part in testing and training, and the first commercial deployment has occurred in a clinic in the United Arab Emirates : an exceptional achievement for a project still in development. DIGIT-PRE played a role in enabling the solution to evolve from a non-medical screening assistant into a medical device under development, now capable of supporting both diagnosis and rehabilitation. This transformation illustrates how structured support can accelerate innovation readiness.
Finally, DCDCare is a model of effective interregional cooperation. Developed through a French–Dutch partnership, the solution now extends its influence to North Africa and the Middle East, demonstrating a capacity to generate tangible international impact from a European collaborative initiative.
2. Magic Trailz: Gamifying outdoor activity for families across Europe
Magic Trailz, created by InnoSportLab Sport & Beweeg in the South Netherlands with support from Finnish analytics expert Estimates and Dutch AR studio Dutch Rose Media, showcases how digital creativity can transform public health challenges. By merging outdoor exploration, augmented reality, and movement-based gameplay, the project encourages families to spend more time being active together.
Magic Trailz addresses a pressing public health issue: the rise of sedentary lifestyles among families. Instead of relying on conventional motivation strategies, it transforms outdoor exercise into a compelling adventure, blending multilingual storytelling with Augmented Reality (AR)-based challenges that invite children, parents, and grandparents to walk, move, and explore together. This creates a unique combination of entertainment and health promotion, supported by behavioural analytics that provide insights into usage and physical activity.
Initially piloted in the Dutch municipality of Bakel, Magic Trailz has since expanded across the Netherlands. Extensive outdoor testing demonstrated robust performance and strong user engagement, proving that the solution resonates with families in real environments. Throughout DIGIT-PRE, the project advanced from a prototype stage to an almost market-ready product, reaching a high level of technological and operational maturity. Features have evolved significantly, with enriched AR interactions, multilingual accessibility, and improved family-oriented design.
3. A Healthier Tomorrow: Digitising children’s wellbeing and family health promotion
A Healthier Tomorrow is a joint initiative between Lifesify and the Swedish organisation En Frisk Generation, addressing the growing challenge of declining physical activity, unhealthy habits and mental wellbeing among children and families. By implementing Lifesify’s digital platform, En Frisk Generation has transformed how it designs, delivers and scales its nationwide health programmes.
Lifesify enables En Frisk Generation to move from paper-based administration and spreadsheets to a fully digital ecosystem for learning journeys, communication, onboarding and real-time follow-up. The platform supports behaviour change at scale, helping families build healthier routines in everyday life through structured activities, clear communication and continuous engagement. As a result, En Frisk Generation can now focus more on participants and less on administration – while at the same time reaching significantly more families than before.
The collaboration demonstrates how digital transformation, when rooted in purpose and social impact, can strengthen civil society actors and make preventive health work more scalable, measurable and sustainable.
A Healthier Tomorrow stands out because it tackles one of Europe’s most urgent societal challenges: the declining wellbeing of children. Rather than developing a new intervention from scratch, the project strengthened and modernised an already successful physical activity and family health model by digitising its core processes. Through Lifesify, En Frisk Generation has fundamentally changed how it operates, scales and engages with families – shifting from fragmented, manual workflows to an integrated digital system that supports long-term behavioural change.
The impact is already measurable. Since implementing Lifesify, En Frisk Generation has significantly increased its reach:
- Family programmes have grown from 23 to 50 (a 217% increase).
- Open activities have expanded from 21 to 50 (a 238% increase).
- Participants in family programmes have increased from 2,100 to over 5,000.
- Participants in open activities have grown from 11,000 to approximately 30,000.
At the same time, internal efficiency has improved through automated onboarding, real-time statistics, improved knowledge sharing and streamlined communication with families. This means greater impact with fewer resources: a clear demonstration of how digitalisation can strengthen preventive public health work.
A Healthier Tomorrow is also a strong example of cross-sector collaboration between a digital SME and a non-profit organisation. The solution has been launched in just four months and is now positioned for further expansion in Sweden and internationally. By combining strong social mission with scalable digital infrastructure, the project shows how DIGIT-PRE can help transform grassroots health initiatives into sustainable, growth-ready solutions with real societal value.
