Eurecat participates in this project through its [...]

Collaboration in the development of the ABLE exoskeleton: light, easy to use and affordable, aimed at patients with spinal cord injuries. The ABLE Human Motion project helps people with paraplegia due to a spinal cord injury to stand up and walk independently again thanks to a wearable exoskeleton. ABLE uses a patented electrical actuator to flex and extend the knee during walking, mimicking natural human movement. The technology also includes inertial sensors that detect the user's intention to take a step forward. Spinal cord injury is a catastrophic event that pushes five million people worldwide into a life [...]

European championship of innovation in the field of health. The i-Days promote innovation in health among university students through dozens of programs of one or two days that take place in European academic institutions. Students from all academic backgrounds receive an introduction to practical health innovation tools and compete in teams to tackle real health challenges posed by EIT Health, local organisations, private companies or start-ups. The winning team of each i-Day attends the Winners' Event, a final competition that unites students from all over Europe. Specifically, the i-Days Vic begin with the aim of finding [...]

Boost of the first product for home use intended for therapeutic purposes and for the cognitive stimulation of people with physical, sensory or cognitive disabilities, using multisensory stimulation technologies and based on care-giving, accessible and therapeutic leisure. MOMENTS develops a suite of customisable Internet of Things (IoT) sensory devices to deliver sensory stimulation in full sync with a digital content platform. This platform allows families and therapists to create more valuable and personalised experiences for each user, both for therapy and for leisure. In this sense, the project develops a web application and a backend for therapeutic professionals, [...]

Expert system for intelligent recommendation of audiovisual content for patients and professionals. The SERICAPP project develops an audiovisual content recommendation system capable of anticipating users' demands and adapting to the needs that may arise during their health and disease life course. This system takes into account the environmental data of the users, which will be changing depending on the environments where they reside, as well as the evolving data of their medical records, both genotypic and phenotypic. The development of this software as a service (SaaS) enriches existing ontologies automatically, ensuring operational human control and using deep learning [...]

A digital system capable of analysing frail patient health data and developing an underlying health index using machine learning. The AGED project develops a solution based on software as a service (SAAS) that provides a single multivariate reading interpretation of the evolution of the mobility of a frail patient. This solution, called Ephion Vitality, integrates multiple sensors and variables thanks to machine learning systems to determine the efficacy of new treatments and the results of ongoing clinical trials in the field of frailty and associated health conditions and comorbidities. The new platform is intended to assess the functional [...]

Development of a digital therapeutic intervention to treat acute stress. The THERASONAR project promotes a solution to combat acute stress made up of a back-office platform for professionals and a mobile application for final patients, preventing them from becoming chronic. To do this, THERASONAR develops a voice analysis technology using algorithms capable of recognising emotions to offer specific and personalised stress treatment programs through advanced audio formats to distribute them through an application. In addition, within the framework of the project, technologies for digital phenotyping, state-of-the-art sound therapy and clinical decision support for therapeutic personalisation are developed. The [...]

Development of a socially intelligent assistance robot to help the elderly relieve loneliness at home. The Never Home Alone (NHoA) project aims to help seniors by relieving loneliness at home, maintaining healthy habits and encouraging them to interact with the community. The system will also protect, assist and monitor the evolution of each person in a personalised way. The overall goal of NHoA is to co-design a socially intelligent care robot as a key to patient robustness, adaptability, acceptance and commitment. The NHoA robot will be an embodied support actor who feels the social and emotional [...]

Network of excellence in data-based enabling technologies. The AI4ES project is born with the vision of becoming the Spanish benchmark in research, development and transfer of those digital technologies that allow intelligent data processing and analysis. The objective of AI4ES is to promote the economy based on data and artificial intelligence at a national level, facilitating the transfer of capacities, results and technologies to the productive fabric, providing innovative solutions and services that require secure and reliable access to data, efficient processing, analysis advanced, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. These technologies range from the storage and [...]

Development of a new platform for growth and maturation of cardiac microtissues for adult-like organotypic models. The EMAPS-Cardio project proposes realistic heart models that can help to advance the understanding of several prevalent heart diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes, while striving to be sufficiently accurate to detect drug potency in both healthy and diseases tissues. To achieve this, biomimetic microenvironment, that provides all the needed stimuli, and biomechanical have been developed by combining electro-mechanoactive polymer-based scaffolds (EMAPS) with bioactive membranes. Currently, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for 45% of deaths in Europe and are estimated [...]

Development of an innovative platform based on aged cardiac tissue model in order to evaluate the environmental toxicology of chemical mixtures. The ALTERNATIVE project is developing an in vitro platform with the objective to culture a 3D functional human cardiac tissue to evaluate the cardiotoxicity of chemical compounds and the impact of toxic substances on the population, especially in elderly and people with chronic diseases. The novel developed platform will enable regulators and industry to identify, quantify and prevent cardiotoxic co-exposures to industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals in a cost-effective way. Additionally, the implementation of computational models [...]
