iWalkU Project
The aim of iWalkU project is to demonstrate scientific and technical evidence regarding the viability of an online exoskeleton for wider market adoption by individual consumers and institutional healthcare providers. Kinetikos company in collaboration with the Austrian Space Forum and Fisiomanual Clinic has developed an online exoskeleton able to both diagnose and register motion, driven by subject-specific motion dynamics, with the ultimate goal to help individuals remain independent and active in their communities and optimise treatments.
Physio PLUXTRAINER Project
PLUX Wireless Biosignals (project coordinator) and Interactive 4D are working together in the development of physioplux Trainer, an innovative and engaging service for patients to execute their physiotherapy exercises at home, using state-of-the-art wearable sensors, ensuring both compliance and correctness and allowing remote monitoring by the physiotherapists.
PREDISPARK Project
Genetic AI and Elmibit in collaboration with the Asociación Parkinson Madrid are developing the Patient Support Project PREDISPARK. PREDISPARK is a medical device for remote monitoring of rehabilitation efforts for Parkinson’s Disease patients, specifically tailored for improving and maintaining the ability of Parkinson’s Disease patients to swallow safely and independently.
SNIPE Project
The SNIPE project aims to develop a point-of-care (POC) device prototype for the remote monitoring of patients with liver diseases, through the detection of two different markers in blood: c-reactive protein (CRP) and ammonia. CRP is a marker of inflammation also used as a marker of infection in different settings and hyperammonemia, that is present in the ED (encephalopathy disorder), is mainly caused by liver disease. The SNIPE project consortium is composed of two core companies: Up-Code (project coordinator) and Virtech.
ePrev Project
The overall aim of the ePrev project is to improve the everyday life of people suffering from chronic diseases by combining the user friendliness of consumer wearables with medical impact. Hence, iBreve together with their project partner Zinc Design & Innovation Lab, is developing a preventative self-care tool that assists patients to monitor and identify triggers, suggest preventive behaviors and ultimately predict seizures. Currently, the project is focussed on epilepsy patients.
WHAT WE DO
Unlock the collaborative potential of Aerospace and Energy SMEs leveraged on Biotechnology, ICT and Medical Devices sectors for the generation of innovative solutions that enhance patient-centred personalized care.
