- 3rd CALLepSO Workshop on Open Semantic Services
-
27 January 2010 Brussels, Belgium
The epSOS project has developed a basic mechanism for Semantic Services providing human and computer-supported interoperability. This workshop targets all semantic experts who will participate in the epSOS semantic modelling activities. The first part of the Workshop will provide an in depth introduction tutorial to the semantic modelling methodology of epSOS. The second part of the Workshop is dedicated to the presentations of the tools proposed for the development of the epSOS semantic model.

- Telemedicine and Legal Aspects workshop
-
2 March 2010 Brussels, Belgium
The workshop will address the legal and logistics dimensions in Telemedicine practice. Subjects to be covered include legal liability of practicioners, patient data privacy and protection, as well as financial and logistics subjects, such as reimbursement of services. A telemedicine use case will be presented to the participants. The workshop should facilitate the dissemination of good practice initiatives, knowledge and experiences on the field, with the aim to accelerate the uptake of Telemedicine solutions and to improve both policy-making and research. Details and registration are available via http://www.epractice.eu/workshops/telemedicine.

- Electronic Infrastructure for Thalassaemia Research Network
-
(15 January 2010)ITHANET is a Euro-Mediterranean network of research centres conducting molecular and clinical research of thalassaemia and related haemoglobinopathies. As a result of the FP6 ITHANET project, patients will find background knowledge on haemoglobinopathies and a resource for the identification of thalassaemia centres. Moreover, they will benefit from more effective drugs owing to accelerated multi-centre research, with the use of shared databases and support for collaborative tools and large-scale computing infrastructures. Overall, the project will allow better treatment results, because of optimised treatment regimens, and through the exchange of methods and improved screening programmes, including population screening, gene counselling and prenatal diagnosis, will decrease the number of those in need of care and free up resources for disease prevention.

- Epilepsiae Case Study
-
(8 January 2010)Epilepsy is the most common serious brain disorder in every country, and probably the most universal of all medical disorders. In Europe six million people currently have epilepsy and fifteen million will have epilepsy at some time of their lives. The project intends to develop an intelligent alarm system, transportable by the patient, measuring the brain dynamical activity, capable of predicting the seizures; allowing the patient to assess the risk of his actual situation and improving his safety.

- SmartHEALTH: Smart Integrated Biodiagnostic Systems for Healthcare
-
14 January 2010
The project will enable enhanced medical diagnosis, leading to earlier and more precise results contributing to an increased quality of life as well as increasing the competitiveness of the European in vitro diagnostics (IVD) sector. Clinical areas for SmartHEALTH application are in Cancer Diagnostics - breast cancer recurrence monitoring, cervical cancer case-finding, and colorectal cancer diagnostics, prognostics and theranostics. Each application includes clinical instrument evaluation and commercial exploitation partners. It has made significant progress towards developing both desktop and portable instruments with integrated ICT capabilities related to secure data transfer and device interoperability.

- Virtual liver set to improve surgery outcomes
-
12 January 2010
European researchers have developed a virtual liver that promises to improve the prospects of recovery for patients with diseases such as liver cancer and cirrhosis of the liver. The initial work was carried out in the framework of the EUREKA project Odysseus. EUREKA promotes international, market-oriented research. The virtual liver is now being developed further in the EU-funded PASSPORT ('Patient specific simulation and preoperative realistic training for liver surgery') project. PASSPORT is funded to the tune of EUR 3.6 million under the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Theme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). 'Thanks to the 3D modelling, the future of liver surgery has gained more precision through accurate definition of the liver's blood vessels,' commented Professor Luc Soler of the Institut de Recherche contre les Cancers de l'Appareil Digestif (IRCAD) in France.
