About Health Force

Health Force specializes in operational AI solutions for healthcare environments, focusing on administrative and logistical automation to enhance hospital efficiency

The Challenge

Health Force needed to identify top use cases for hospitals in Portugal, observe real hospital data workflows, detail the use cases and requirements, and validate agent output, usability, and compliance expectations.

The Story

Hospital systems are full of repetitive admin tasks. What if AI could handle them quietly, securely, and without changing how staff work?
That’s what Health Force set out to prove through a two-month pilot at ULS Coimbra, supported by TEF-Health.
What was the challenge? To validate the solution, the company needed access to real hospital infrastructure, non-clinical data, and a live environment to test automation performance, data integrity, and security. Health Force is developing a system of AI agents to automate and streamline daily hospital administrative processes, without disrupting existing systems or interfaces.
How the Hospital Got Involved? The pilot focused on automating a monthly administrative task performed by the hospital, which included:
Identify top use cases for hospitals in Portugal, Observe real hospital data workflows, Detail the use case and requirements, Validate agent output, usability, and compliance expectations. Hospitals are increasingly becoming testing grounds for operational AI — not just in diagnostics, but also in administration and logistics. Through TEF-Health, innovators like Health Force gain access to secure, structured, and scalable environments to validate their solutions.

"The pilot proved how Health Force AI Agents eliminate manual work in admin processes, allowing staff to focus on higher value tasks, without IT disruption." Fadi Haddad Founder and CEO

Healthcare Problems Addressed

  • Administrative burden
Fraunhofer-Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS and Sonovum GmbH
Sonovum GmbH developed a non-invasive intracranial pressure monitoring device based on a novel proprietary biosignal and AI-based classification models. Through TEF-Health, Fraunhofer IIS provided access to its Multimodal Biosignal Laboratory for controlled physical testing and feasibility studies. The collaboration refined software and machine learning components, established performance evidence, clarified regulatory pathways, and advanced the solution from TRL 6 to TRL 8. Sonovum is now conducting a clinical study to progress toward TRL 10.
