Propose an AIDA Clinical Evaluation

Do you want to test if an AI product can deliver on its promises for your clinical needs? If so, you are most welcome to apply for funding from AIDA for a Clinical Evaluation.

It can be difficult for healthcare providers to get a grip on whether the AI solutions available on the market can make a real difference in their workflows. AIDA’s project type Clinical Evaluation aims to assist care providers in crossing that threshold. The offering includes up to 50% funding of costs and access to a unique ”arena” with knowledge exchanges and a technical platform. As inspiration you can read about previous projects here.

Applications for Clinical Evaluations within AIDA are now open. The deadline is August 17, 2026.

Complete information about the prerequisites is found in the following document: Opportunity for Clinical evaluations. In summary, the opportunity means the following:

• The project is to be about evaluation of a commercially available AI solution relevant for diagnostic imaging operations
• The AIDA funding can cover at most 50% of the project cost, and amount to 150 kSEK or less
• The project can, thus, have a cost budget of 300 kSEK of which 150 kSEK is funded by AIDA, or a cost budget of 200 kSEK of which 100 kSEK is funded by AIDA etc.
• No more than SEK 50,000 of the project’s total budget may be allocated to expenses associated with an AI supplier or platform providing AI tools. This includes expenditures for licensing, technical expertise, installation, and system integration
• The project must start at the latest three months from approval.
• Some presence at the meeting place (often CMIV, Linköping) is required, at AIDA’s workshop series
• Clinical Evaluation projects can be combined with Clinical Fellowships

Proposals should be described using the following template: Template AIDA clinical evaluation project proposall. Proposals are submitted to the Arena Director at aida-director@medtech4health.se. We strongly recommend that a draft is sent well in advance of the deadline in order to allow a dialog about the proposal.
