AI-powered Blood Diagnostics from Styria with a Global Vision

How a Styrian HealthTech company, supported by the EU project DESIRE under the lead partnership of ICS, is paving the way for the global standard in AI-based blood diagnostics

The Styrian company RobotDreams is developing a highly innovative, AI-powered diagnostic platform with a clear vision: AI-based blood diagnostics should become the global standard for almost all clinical pictures in the future. At its core is a powerful, trained AI model that differentiates clinical conditions with exceptional accuracy – with AUROC values of over 90%.

The first diagnostic module focuses on predicting Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) – one of the most common and critical causes of hospital admissions worldwide. Further modules for the early detection of heart failure (HF) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are already under development. In the long term, RobotDreams plans to expand into other specialties such as nephrology, hepatology, neurology, and pulmonology – with the goal of fundamentally transforming laboratory medicine.

Precision Meets Clinical Expertise

The technology combines state-of-the-art machine learning with in-depth clinical expertise. Blood data is analyzed using AI to identify diseases early, quickly, and precisely – a crucial advantage in emergency and preventive medicine.

Parallel to technological development, RobotDreams is intensively working on patent applications, clinical studies, as well as CE marking and IVDR certification. These regulatory steps are essential to meet the highest quality and safety standards and to ensure sustainable market launch in the European healthcare sector.

Strategic Partnerships as a Growth Engine

To accelerate clinical validation, regulatory processes, and commercialization, RobotDreams collaborates with international industry leaders such as Roche, Novartis, Sysmex, and Siemens Healthineers.

These strategic partnerships combine industrial expertise and create the foundation for rapid scaling into international markets.

“We develop technology that saves lives, drastically reduces waiting times in the emergency room, and noticeably lowers costs. This is exactly what medical progress in the 21st century looks like. DESIRE has enabled us to pursue this ambition at full speed.”

Tailwind from DESIRE – with ICS as Lead Partner

RobotDreams received a decisive boost from the EU project DESIRE, in which ICS acted as the lead partner. All support services within the framework of the project were implemented by the DESIRE team at ICS – and it was precisely here that the strategic added value emerged, which makes all the difference for a DeepTech company in a sensitive development phase.

Through DESIRE, RobotDreams was able to:

  • specifically expand the team,
  • advance patent applications,
  • further train and validate the AI models,
  • and sustainably strengthen resilience and business continuity structures.

Especially in the highly regulated HealthTech sector, operational stability is a critical success factor. The DESIRE team at ICS provided not only financial but also strategic support – particularly in the areas of resilience management and sustainable corporate development.

Furthermore, the project opened access to an extended network of service providers and relevant stakeholders. This structured support enabled RobotDreams to advance technological excellence, clinical validation, and regulatory preparation in parallel – efficiently, focused, and with an international perspective.

The Next Milestones

Over the next 18 months, the focus is clearly on completing clinical studies and obtaining regulatory approvals. In parallel, RobotDreams is driving the expansion of further diagnostic modules – with the long-term goal of establishing AI-powered blood analyses as an integral part of modern medicine worldwide.

RobotDreams exemplifies those Styrian DeepTech companies that not only conceive medical innovation but translate it into scalable, internationally competitive solutions – actively shaping the future of healthcare.
