Transforming stroke care through artificial intelligence and advanced digital technologies. UMBRELLA delivers faster, more accurate, and personalized stroke care, improving outcomes for over a million new patients annually in the EU and nearly 10 million survivors. To achieve this, the project collects real-world stroke patient data from various European hospitals and develops AI-driven predictive models to tailor diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation to each individual’s needs. Using a federated platform, hospitals can train and validate algorithms while preserving data privacy. The project tackles key challenges in stroke care: treatment delays, lack of personalisation, unequal access to care [...]

Smart solutions for relief from Musculoskeletal Non-Communicable Diseases (MSK-NCDs). SmILE develops smart solutions to reduce the impact of Musculoskeletal Non-Communicable Diseases (MSK-NCDs) in older people through prevention and early intervention, empowering patients to take charge of their health while alleviating the burden on healthcare systems. The project creates a universal chip platform that can be integrated into a wide range of medical devices, turning them into active data generators and enabling faster and more accurate diagnoses while supporting the rollout of innovative treatments. The collected data will be processed through an integrated patient-centred health platform, designed [...]

Automatic resuscitation for ventilation in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. AIR2LIFE develops an advanced automatic ventilation device designed to support cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in cases of sudden cardiac arrest. The innovative solution, led by Dipneo in collaboration with Eurecat, assists both professional and non-professional first responders by automating the ventilation process during CPR, optimising patient survival rates. Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of mortality globally, with survival rates decreasing by 10% for each minute without proper intervention. Current manual resuscitation devices require physical effort and trained personnel, limiting their effectiveness in emergency situations. AIR2LIFE addresses these limitations by [...]

Improvement of care and monitoring of anxiety and depression disorders in women during preconception, pregnancy and postpartum.
