Resilience in Action
Health and social care services across Europe face increasing disruption risks from heatwaves, pandemics, cyber-attacks, and other threats. When a crisis escalates, essential services must continue to operate.
On 19 January 2026, the DYNAMO project successfully showcased its innovative solutions—co-developed by our procurers and two competing suppliers—through live demonstrations and expert discussions. Prior to the workshop, the two solutions, co-developed by DYNAMO procurers with competing research and technology development (RTD) suppliers, were rigorously tested using realistic crisis simulation scenarios across procurer sites in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, and the UK. These solutions enable dynamic and data-supported adaptation of services as crises unfold.
During the Open Pilot Workshop, participants explored how these data-supported planning tools can enhance the resilience of health and care services in times of crisis. Both DYNAMO procurers and suppliers shared their experiences with the innovative crisis planning tools they co-developed. Key discussion topics included:
- Organisational requirements for data-aided, dynamic service re-planning in crises
- Cross-organisational governance of the planning process
- Integration of the DYNAMO planning tools with existing IT infrastructures
- Development of business cases that account for systemic benefits

Health and care systems face growing challenges from pandemics, natural disasters, cyber incidents, and economic shocks. Ensuring the continuity of essential and priority services under such conditions is now a core responsibility for planners and decision-makers.
Through a staged pre-commercial procurement (PCP) process, DYNAMO procurers have co-developed next-generation emergency business continuity planning tools. These tools are designed to operate independently or alongside existing IT systems, supporting strategic health and care planning when it matters most. To validate their effectiveness, the procurers developed realistic crisis scenarios – such as pandemics, heatwaves, and cyber-attacks – and piloted their use in real-world conditions.
During this 90-minute webinar, participants will:
- Receive an update from public procurers on the DYNAMO PCP process and key results:
- Overview of the pre-commercial procurement process and key outcomes
- Insights from procurers on the evaluation and testing phases
- How the PCP cycle will be finalised and how follower regions can engage
- Explore innovative solutions presented by the DYNAMO suppliers:
- Solution concept, development stage, and added value for procurers and regions
- Insights from DYNAMO procurers on collaboration experiences, innovation challenges, and successes
- Join an interactive panel discussion on uptake, scalability, and future engagement opportunities:
- How the presented solutions align with local needs
- Opportunities for uptake, scalability, and replication
- Expressions of interest in piloting, twinning, or replication
Participants are invited to submit questions during registration. Selected questions will be addressed directly by procurers and suppliers during the Q&A and panel discussion.
Following Phase II that ended in Summer, Dynamo PCP started into Phase III in August 2025.
While Phase II was mainly characterised by the co-creation and co-development of functional solution prototypes, the final Phase III will be dedicated to testing both solutions under real-world conditions.
Testing will take place in Italy, Poland, Spain, and Wales.
DYNAMO PCP delivers two pilot solutions for resilient health and care service planning
The DYNAMO PCP project reached its conclusion in February 2026. Through a staged Pre-Commercial Procurement process, public procurers and technology suppliers worked together to develop, prototype and test new digital planning tools for health and social care resilience.
DYNAMO was launched in response to a clear market gap. A preparatory market review and Open Market Consultation showed that no existing product brought together, in a single solution, the capabilities needed for resilient service planning under disruptive conditions.
The DYNAMO solutions were co-created by RTD suppliers together with the DYNAMO Buyer Group, which brought together health and social care service providers as well as regional health authorities from five countries. This ensured that the solutions were developed for use across different implementation contexts, organisational settings and health systems.
The final PCP phase, Phase III, focused on the testing of competing pilot systems under realistic, day-to-day operational conditions. Two solutions reached this final stage: FASTWAY, developed by MYSPHERA, and PATHFINDER, developed by Open Line Vitaly and Result. Both solutions were rigorously tested through crisis simulations with DYNAMO procurers, covering scenarios such as pandemics, heatwaves, cyber incidents, power failures, antimicrobial resistance and staff shortages.
From crisis resilience to everyday service continuity
From crisis resilience to everyday service continuity
DYNAMO was originally conceived as a tool to strengthen the resilience of health and care services in the face of major crises, including those linked to environmental, geopolitical, pandemic or other systemic factors. During the project, however, it also proved relevant for the everyday pressures encountered by service providers and planners, such as staff shortages, capacity bottlenecks, fluctuating demand and fragmented information flows.
DYNAMO-type solutions are not clinical decision-support tools and do not replace existing emergency command structures, electronic health records or operational IT systems. Instead, they provide an additional planning layer that helps organisations use selected data, scenario logic, dashboards, pathway options and communication functions to adapt operational service delivery when normal conditions are disrupted.
The solutions developed through DYNAMO can support planning teams in:
- monitoring operational indicators, capacity pressure and resource availability;
- modelling alternative service delivery pathways and response options;
- simulating the likely impacts of alternative response options on a data-enabled basis to inform decision-making;
- defining scenario-specific thresholds, alerts and intervention points;
- supporting structured communication with relevant stakeholders;
- documenting decisions and supporting organisational learning after a crisis or pressure episode.
A standout feature of the DYNAMO approach is its potential to support organisational learning over time. Crisis response pathways, intervention points and lessons learned can be captured, reused and adapted, creating a growing repository of practical planning knowledge. To maximise this value, the use of DYNAMO as a technological tool should be complemented by appropriate innovations in organisational processes, roles and responsibilities.

Available for further deployment and contextualisation
The end of the DYNAMO project does not mark the end of the solutions’ development journey. FASTWAY and PATHFINDER have been validated as pilot solutions and are now suitable for structured beta-use, further local configuration and continued supplier-led commercialisation.
Future adopters can build on the DYNAMO experience by contextualising the solutions to their own organisational setting, service-continuity priorities, data sources, user roles, governance arrangements, communication pathways and crisis or operational-pressure scenarios. The solutions can be applied in service provider-driven settings, such as hospitals, care organisations or integrated service networks, as well as in settings coordinated by regional or national health authorities.
The solutions are designed for flexible integration with existing health and social care IT environments, supporting staged adoption and scalability according to local needs and technical readiness. DYNAMO has therefore opened a practical pathway for organisations and authorities to explore a new generation of data-supported planning tools for resilient service delivery.
