Meet the pilot: Nicolab

We are delighted to feature Nicolab in our latest pilot highlight!

Working alongside regional healthcare authority Regione Lombardia, the pilot is trialling their AI-powered StrokeViewer platform to transform emergency stroke care across northern Italy. By providing real-time image analysis and instant diagnostic sharing between regional hub and spoke hospitals, this innovative solution accelerates critical decision-making when every second counts. The collaboration aims to streamline care pathways, reduce treatment delays, and establish a scalable framework for AI-driven emergency medicine.

What are your expectations as your solution moves into the assessment phase? And your lessons learned?
As we move into the assessment phase, our expectation is to connect with organisations that are ready to translate innovation into measurable healthcare impact. Beyond funding or recognition, we are looking for strategic partnerships that can help scale AI-enabled stroke care and bring faster treatment to more patients worldwide.

One of our key lessons learned is that successful healthcare innovation is never just about technology—it is about aligning clinicians, administrators, and decision-makers around a shared vision for better patient outcomes. The strongest solutions are those that integrate seamlessly into clinical workflows and solve real-world challenges from day one.

How has InnoMatch helped you achieve your business goals? What have you valued the most so far?
InnoMatch has helped us connect with key healthcare stakeholders, innovation leaders, and potential deployment partners who share our vision of improving patient outcomes through AI. The platform has provided valuable visibility for Nicolab and created opportunities to showcase our technology beyond our existing network.

What we value most is the direct access to decision-makers and the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations around real-world healthcare challenges. InnoMatch is helping us accelerate collaborations that can translate innovation into measurable clinical impact.

What does success look like for you beyond this pilot and the InnoMatch programme?
Success for Nicolab goes far beyond a single pilot or programme. Our ambition is to become the digital backbone for time-critical care networks, enabling every patient, regardless of location, to access specialist expertise within minutes.

We envision a future where AI, imaging, communication, and clinical decision-making are seamlessly connected across hospitals, regions, and countries. Success means scaling this impact globally, reducing treatment delays, improving outcomes for millions of patients, and helping healthcare systems deliver faster, more equitable care at scale.
