The Development of Child and Orphan Device (DeCODe) project, co-funded by the European Commission under EU4Health, has opened a call for support to assist developers of paediatric and orphan medical devices.
This opportunity is open to a wide range of developers, including academics, individual researchers, startups, industry stakeholders, organisations from diverse settings, and patient-led initiatives. Support is available for both new device development and the adaptation of existing products to better serve paediatric and orphan populations.

✅ Business and funding advice
✅ Network building
