Short description

The miniQ innovation is a web-based clinical decision support system to help older patients and their doctors optimise prescriptions and to avoid potential complications caused by drug treatments. The EIT Health miniQ Innovation Project adapts the system for expansion in the European market.

Developed in Sweden and used to optimise drug treatment for older adults in the clinical setting since 2003, miniQ is one of the most powerful decision support systems in Europe.

The EIT Health project miniQ is a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Servicio Madrileño de Salud, Keele University West Midlands Academic Health Science Network and GENESIS Biomed. The Swedish company Quality Pharma Medtech International AB, which develops the miniQ system, is an external partner.
