About

Nextage is an innovative SME headquartered in Genoa, Italy, with over 15 years of experience in health informatics and a multidisciplinary team of approximately 25 professionals. The company operates across three synergistic business areas—Digital, Innovation, and Governance—and holds ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 27001, and UNI PDR 125 certifications.

In the context of HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-DISEASE-02, HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-CARE-01, HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-CARE-03, HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-STAYHLTH-02, and HORIZON-HLTH-2026-01-IND-03, Nextage offers a unique combination of capabilities. In Large Language Model development and fine-tuning, the company has demonstrated expertise through ENT (Encoding Tutor), a clinical coding platform leveraging NLP algorithms and decision models—directly relevant to CARE-03's identification of low-value care and DISEASE-02's AI-driven behavioural analysis. Nextage's established track record in risk analysis, spanning corporate governance (ERA risk assessment tool, GDPR/cybersecurity audits) and clinical applications (chronic disease monitoring, AI-based surgical complication detection), aligns with IND-03's regulatory science focus and CARE-01's patient safety objectives. The company's rigorous user research methodology, rooted in UX/UI design and co-design with end-users, supports STAYHLTH-02's requirement for behavioural interventions tailored to young people. Finally, Nextage's proven capability in cloud and mobile application development—evidenced by connected care platforms, home rehabilitation systems, and the GIANO citizen digital twin project—ensures delivery of scalable, secure, and EHDS-compliant digital health solutions across all targeted calls.
