This solution helps patients to improve their health habits during, before and after surgery interventions. The innovation proposed by the project allows individualised interventions and more personalised analysis; follows evidence-based methods for behaviour change and takes advantage of the potential and digital formats to maximise the scope of interventions. The project [...]

New healthcare platform to improve the wellbeing of patients suffering from chronic kidney diseases by monitoring relevant biochemical parameters in a single drop of blood. The CKDSens project develops a medical device that offers results in 5 minutes and can be used from the doctor’s office or by the patients themselves. This new system employs an easy-to-use hardware device and a predictive software to make it easier for patients to discover and monitor their kidney disease. The innovation promoted by CKDSens will offer better diagnosis results, while reducing related costs in the health-care system. More specifically, [...]

Development of a new system that monitors parameters in elderly and sick people with Parkinson’s in order to enhance the personalization of treatments and improve the quality of life patients. The REVEL-PARK project, which applies IoT technology, collects data from devices such as motion sensors and other environmental parameters, and provides them to professional in order to improve treatments for each person through continuous and reliable information. The information obtained by the project also allows that caregivers can take better decisions and patients and their families can live with more autonomy and have a better quality [...]

Personalised technological programme to prepare patients for surgery and provide follow-up, as a way to improve the outcomes of the operation. PAPRIKA project aims to improve the quality of life of patients who needs a surgery through a personalised program that allows a better preparation of the intervention, reduces postoperative complications and helps to improve the recovery, as well as a reduction in the hospitalization time and the costs associated with these interventions. The solution developed by PAPRIKA incorporates two digital solutions: an adaptive case management platform for professionals, integrated with the electronic health record (EHR) [...]

Innobrain project has the main objective to investigate on new technologies for innovating in rehabilitation and cognitive stimulation treatments for patients with neurodegenerative and psychiatric illnesses. In particular, Innobrain’s solution will be addressed to patients with ABI (acquired brain injury), schizophrenia, dementia and bipolar disorder, some of the most common mental diseases in the Catalan society. The results of the investigation will allow to consolidate and reinforce the competitiveness of the Catalan Investigation and Innovation Community, englobing hospitals, companies and investigation centres, on the Guttman, NeuroPersonalTrainer®, a platform for cognitive stimulation. This tool offers personalized, intensive, [...]

The European Union is facing a rapid increase in the elderly population, which together with the lack of effective caring solutions provokes having elders with physical and cognitive problems to be moved to nursery homes early. MoveCare project aims to develop and test an innovative multi-actor platform that supports the independent living of the elder at home by monitoring, assisting and promoting activities to counteract decline and social exclusion. The MoveCare platform will comprised of several services: an activity centre and virtual caregiver, evaluating the elder status and guiding him through a personalized mix of physical, [...]

European innovation digital hub, formed by centres of reference in robotics applied to the health sector to promote and accelerate the implementation of technological innovations in medical assistance. DIH-HERO project develops medical applications in the fields of diagnosis, treatment, assistance and prevention, and other services related with training, maintenance, legal and business advice or logistics, to share knowledge and analyse the needs of the health sector, demonstrating the feasibility of the application of robotics in real environments to solve medical assistance needs. The project counts with the participation of 16 European hubs, led by centres of [...]

Project to improve the monitoring system of chronic neuromuscular diseases by the integration of biomechanical sensors into the 6MWT or six-minute walk test. This test measures the number of metres a patient is able to walk in six minutes and is currently one of the standard functional tests used for the monitoring of neuromuscular and cardiorespiratory pathologies and the loss of physical function associated with ageing, among others. The innovation of the 6MWT+ project, supported by EIT Health, is that it can preserve the current walk test and, through the integration of biomechanical sensors, it provides [...]

Development and validation of a mobile remote monitoring system to detect pre-frailty and frailty in independent senior citizens in order to maintain or encourage activity and physical exercise, thus benefitting their long-term well-being. The project aims to offer subjects an individualised and group-based plan to empower them throughout their life so that they have the strategies, abilities, resources, support and motivation required for them to reach the optimal bio-psycho-emotional and social well-being they need to reverse their frailty. The TeleDefrail solution is based on the use of the technological solution ekenku, developed by Eurecat, to monitor [...]

Ageing population in advanced societies forces to increase efforts in order to support health and promote healthy habits among old people. The NESTORE project aims at combining different technologies to help old people to retain everyday life activities and keep in good health, physically and psychologically. During the project, which counts with the participation of the E-Health and Health & Nutrition Eurecat’s Techonogical Units, it will develop an innovative, multi-dimensional, personalized coaching system to support healthy ageing by generating and sustaining motivation to take care of health, suggesting healthy nutrition and personalized physical and mental coach [...]

New platform for the sharing of medical information based on Blockchain and IPFS (the InterPlanetary File System), with patients being given control of their data, allowing or refusing access on the part of doctors, hospitals and research centres. The platform My_Health_Data_Control will allow patients to know at all times who is accessing their data, when, where from and why, and will also include a tokenisation system for healthcare assets and services, along with the sharing of clinical data. The project outcomes will serve to reduce the administrative complexity that exists today in the sector, will help [...]

EK2.0 develops artificial intelligence algorithms that, based on the remote monitoring of the behaviour and health conditions of the chronic, fragile or dependent patient, enable the creation of new management tools and solutions for healthcare professionals. These algorithms provide added value to the current functionalities of the systems used in the clinical and care environment by allowing the integration and learning from data collected by sensors that capture environmental information and personal health or physical activity data, for its integration with the available clinic history data. The results of the project will be used for the [...]
