The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the 6MWT+ project which has developed a new system to enhance monitoring of the evolution of chronic neuromuscular diseases. It does this by integrating biomechanical sensors into the 6 Minute Walk Test, one of the standard functional tests used in hospitals for assessing and measuring these diseases. The new [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is a partner in a Catalan consortium led by the Guttmann Institute which has brought new technologies such as artificial intelligence, interactive digital video and neuromodulation into rehabilitation treatments and cognitive stimulation for patients with brain damage. The project comes under the RIS3CAT Nexthealth Community sponsored by ACCIÓ, the agency for [...]
Researchers from the Parc Taulí Research and Innovation Institute (I3PT) and the Eurecat technology centre are to begin a three-month pilot test to identify nodules which may be indicators of potential lung cancer on X-rays using deep learning technology. The initiative is part of the LuCaDAlert (Lung Cancer CAD Alert) project which has developed algorithms that can detect lung cancer nodules in chest [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has today hosted the presentation of the first project using big data analysis and artificial intelligence to prevent epidemics by helping to predict, identify and mitigate their spread. Technical coordination will be provided by the Center for Innovation in Data tech and Artificial Intelligence (CIDAI). The project is to use advanced digital technology to deliver new mathematical [...]
The fifth XPatient Barcelona Congress, to be held online on 29-30 September, will address new technological solutions and success stories impacting the improvement of the patient experience and will underscore the learnings of patients and professionals during the COVID-19 health crisis. The health crisis caused by coronavirus has sped up the digitalisation of health, something that fosters [...]
The Sant Joan de Déu Health Park in Sant Boi is to implement a remote monitoring solution developed by the Eurecat technology centre and called ekenku to monitor the 23 places in the programme for homes with mental health support managed by the health institution. This new technological solution will allow the team of psychologists [...]
Telemedicine “will suddenly take a five-year leap forward in the wake of the coronavirus crisis and this will bring its real benefits up to the level of the potential it offers”, argues Felip Miralles, Director of the Eurecat technology centre’s eHealth Unit. He points to clinical process modelling, promoting prevention, monitoring and decision support as [...]
The company OXIGEN salud, the Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) and the Lleida Biomedical Research Institute are developing a new telemedicine app dubbed MyVENT, which will allow for improved monitoring of patients’ mechanical ventilation therapy. The aim of the initiative is to improve the provision of healthcare resources to patients and provide support [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) has developed Seleccionem, an app aimed at helping patients with multiple sclerosis choose the treatment option that best fits their preferences. The app is used in conjunction with AQuAS, a website for shared decision-making that is designed to help patients make decisions regarding the treatment of multiple [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) has developed eKauri, a remote-support platform that uses information sent from small ambient sensors to establish behavioural patterns based on the daily activities of senior citizens or dependent individuals. The aim of the platform is to provide new tools that can support the decision-making processes of the [...]
