SMEs will compete first at national level.

- Telemedicine for stroke rehabilitation
-
(9 November 2011) Stroke is a disease with very high socio-economic impact. In average the healthcare expenditure cost for Strokes across different countries in Europe and USA is 3% of their entire healthcare expenditure. This includes inpatient treatment cost, outpatient hospital visits and long-term rehabilitation and care. Analysis showed that costs of long-term care have increased from 13% to 49% of overall costs in average in recent years. Therefore there is an urgent need for devising an effective long-term care and rehabilitation strategy for Stroke patients, which will involve the patients actively in the process while minimising costly human intervention. The new EU funded 'StrokeBack' project intends to develop an automated remote rehabilitation system by blending advances of ICT and practical clinical knowledge that will empower the patients and their immediate carer for effective application of the rehabilitation protocol in home settings. The project runs from 1st October 2011 until 30th September 2014.

- VPH2012: Integrative approaches to computational biomedicine
-
18 September 2012 - 20 September 2012 London, UK
VPH2012 will be an international conference on computational biomedicine, with a clear focus on the integrative aspects of VPH. Special attention will be given to the 'Digital Patient' as well as 'health forecasts'. VPH2012 aims at reaching outside of the VPH community to other equally important communities: systems biology and genomics. In this respect, the vision is to have a conference that truly encompasses all possible scales to model physio/pathology with a clear ICT focus. Four parallel sessions will be held on all days with talks and dedicated poster sessions. Similar to the format of the VPH2010 – where after the meeting, the best VPH2010 papers and posters were published in Interface Focus in a special themed issue on the Virtual Physiological Human. Deadlines: workshop proposal submission: 6/12/2011, Abstract submission: 29/02/2012.

- MORMED - Multi-lingual & Organic Information Management in the Medical Domain
-
7 November 2011
The broad adoption of Web 2.0 technologies in the e-health domain has led to the emergence of the term "Medicine 2.0" for relevant applications, services and tools. Web 2.0 applications have contributed towards bringing geographically dispersed groups of people with common interests together. Nevertheless, language remains an essential barrier. People with a wealth of knowledge to share, and willingness to participate, cannot become members of an online community unless they master the official language of the community and of the software platform that supports it. This is a great impediment to the effective dissemination of valuable knowledge among dispersed medical communities, particularly those interested in topics where information is very scarce, such as rare diseases. The MORMED project attempts to address this challenge by developing a multilingual social networking and content management platform. The platform will combine the semantically enhanced social networking and content management OrganiK platform with technologies enabling machine translation and post-editing by human experts to make content available in multiple languages.
