Completed projects
In 2017 and 2018, SPHN organized two coordinated calls for proposals together with the Strategic Focus Area 'Personalized Health and Related Technologies (PHRT) of the ETH-Domain.
Projects were funded in the categories of Driver projects or Infrastructure Development projects. The following projects are completed:
Driver projects
