G(5G+SC)ECGms Project
The ‘G(5G+SC)ECGms’ project has the goal to develop a solution that will help medical experts to receive real cardio activity of patients in real time. Our remote and live monitoring system enables patients, within high-risk groups, to a higher degree going about their ordinary lives. It reduces the need of visiting the doctor. It provides security and safety in the acute situation. And it improves the ability to detect and treat sickness at an earlier stage. The ‘G(5G+SC)ECGms’ project team is formed of two partners: Carbon Shark and WearHealth.
AgingWell Project
AgingWell is a project which will address the challenges in the long-term care sector, specifically targeting private, non-profit and public nursing homes. ShieldME is developing a medical device that combines novel technology with machine learning to remedy the deficit in care for our elderly. AgingWell project team is formed of two partners: ShieldMe and Instituto Pedro Nunes.
EyeCheck System Project
Eyecheck System are offering a digital bridge between opticians, general medical practitioners and eye doctors. With support from Cross4Health, the team is integrating AI to their platform to improve their screening process and provide remote patient support and earlier detection and diagnosis of eye related diseases. The project is using the innovation support services from the Cross4Health Consortium for Regulatory support and the Innovation Voucher for technological design and development by external provider Laudi.

Remo Project
Remo is a novel platform based on a neuromuscular sensor and a brand-new motivational environment, in which an advanced artificial intelligence learns day by day both from patients and health professionals to maximize the quality and efficiency of rehabilitation treatments. Remo project is formed by two partners: MoreCognition and Future Fit.
KineActiv Project
Kineactiv allows the rehabilitation of injuries through active therapy in a remote, controlled and monitored way, under the parameters established by a health professional, who can monitor the evolution of the treatment and establish the next steps to follow in the process of rehabilitation. The KineActiv project team is formed by two partners: Edison Desarrollos and Frogsong Studios.
