- Multiscale visualisation: Exemplary problems collection and assessment
-
(19 November 2010) The EU funds a new consortium to investigate and address challenges associated with mulitscale spatiotemporal visualization (MSV) as an international cooperation starting from the VPHOP project. The MSV project will (by international cooperation between the European @neurIST and VPHOP integrated projects, the US National Alliance for Medical Imaging Computing (NA-MIC), and the New Zealand-based IUPS Physiome initiative) define an interactive visualisation paradigm for biomedical multiscale data, validate it on the large collections produced by the VPH projects, and develop a concrete implementation as an open-source extension to the Visualisation Toolkit (VTK), ready to be incorporated by virtually any biomedical modelling software project.

- Advancing Clinico-Genomic Clinical Trials on Cancer: Open Grid Services for improving Medical Knowledge Discovery
-
(17 November 2010) Information arising from post-genomics research, and combined genetic and clinical trials on one hand, and advances from high-performance computing and informatics on the other is rapidly providing the medical and scientific community with new insights, answers and capabilities. The breadth and depth of information already available in the research community at large, present an enormous opportunity for improving our ability to reduce mortality from cancer, improve therapies and meet the demanding individualization of care needs. A critical set of challenges, however, currently inhibit our capacity to harvest these opportunities. The ACGT project' objective has been the development of methods and systems for improved medical knowledge discovery and understanding through integration of biomedical information (e.g. using modeling, visualization, data mining and grid technologies)

- OLDES - An Affordable and Customisable Telecardiology System
-
(17 November 2010) The OLDES project, after peer review evaluation, has been selected as one of the 25 nominees for the IT @ 2011. The project intends to offer new technological solutions to improve the quality of life of older people, through the development of a very low cost and easy to use entertainment and health care platform, designed to ease the life of the elderly in their homes. OLDES project aims to plan and develop an innovative technological system for tele-assistance and tele-accompany, thanks to the joint work of 11 EU partners. The OLDES system has been experimented on two testing pilots in Bologna and in Prague. In the town of Bologna more than 100 mature adults have been involved and to access the services, they have been provided a home gateway made up by a set-top-box (a small, low cost PC) and a remote control.

- Pan-European data on telemedicine expected in 2012
-
(17 November 2010) Nine European regions have teamed up to run one of the largest ever telemedicine trials, the Renewing Health large-scale pilot project. By February 1, 2011, all regions will have gone live. The aim is to generate data for European healthcare systems so that telemedicine can be adopted as part of regular care for chronically ill patients. Renewing Health is a highly ambitious clinical trial that will involve close to 8,000 patients in the intervention groups with cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or diabetes from nine regions in different parts of Europe.

17 November 2010
Documentary about the ACGT project, a European Union co-funded project aiming at developing open-source, semantic and grid-based technologies in support of post genomic clinical trials in cancer research. It addresses clinicians, bio-researchers as well as software developers' needs, providing an open platform where novel and powerful services can be offered and used by practitioners in the field.

- ARGOS – VPH Position paper
-
15 October 2010
ARGOS is an initiative to foster transatlantic integration of the VPH effort in Europe and the US. This document provides the basis for the policy brief that should be produced at the end of the ARGOS project. Whereas the policy brief will target the policy makers, the present document targets the community of academic, clinical, and industrial stakeholders of the VPH initiative.
