- Chronic disease management platform
-
(1 February 2010)CHRONIOUS is a European project aimed at defining an open platform to manage and monitor patients with chronic diseases during their daily life through the implementation and deployment of a platform that will be worn by the patients. The smart wearable platform is based on multi-parametric sensor data processing and is constantly monitoring their activity using audio observation methods and activity sensors, while at the same time tracking their medical condition via vital signs sensors. An overarching goal of the proposed system is to underline and emphasize, as well as built upon the partnership between technology-centred and human-centred sciences as technologies for sensing, interacting, computing and communicating become increasingly ubiquitous.

- Commission asks Bulgaria to apply EU rules making radio spectrum available for devices that help senior citizens - hearing aids and social alarms
-
(28 January 2010)The European Commission today started legal action against Bulgaria and called on it to make sure the technical requirements are in place for hearing aids, social alarms and emergency buttons at home, for old and disabled people. Bulgaria has not followed EU rules saying the 169 MHz frequency band should be made available to applications of social value and electronic services such as asset tracking and paging systems. EU rules aim at harmonising use of this radio spectrum band in the EU to facilitate the development and take-up of such applications. Bulgaria should have complied with the Commission Decision on this band by 1 January 2007 and to an update of these rules by 31 October 2008.
- CALL FOR PROPOSALS
- Reminder: Objective ICT-2009.5.3 - Virtual Physiological Human in Call 6
-
(Deadline: 13/04/2010) The health domain and its three main industries, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and eHealth, are dominant economic sectors with respect to employment creation and growth. Sustainable delivery of quality healthcare at affordable cost is a major challenge for European healthcare systems for a variety of reasons. This calls for changes in the way healthcare is delivered and the way medical knowledge is managed and transferred to clinical practice. The Call 6 opened on 24/11/2009 for Virtual Physiological Human proposals (Objective ICT-2009.5.3) among other topics. Specific details of the VPH call can be found on the ICT for Health VPH page.

- VPHOP project gets international
-
4 February 2010
2010 will see two satellite projects kicked-off to further strengthen the VPHOP cluster. The first is called NMS Physiome, where NMS stands for NeuroMusculoSkeletal, and define a three years cooperation between some partners of VPHOP and some partners of SIMBIOS, the USA NIH Center for physics-based Simulation of Biological Structures established at Stanford University (http://simbios.stanford.edu/) and the second project, named MSV, aims to extend the MAF software we shall use in VPHOP to develop the end-user applications with capabilities to provide interactive visualisation of data defined on radically different spatiotemporal scales. This goal is pursued in collaboration with NA-MIC, the USA NIH National Alliance for Medical Image Computing Center (http://www.na-mic.org/). To follow the VPHOP project, subscribe to the newsletter.
