Main projects
-
1.
PEPPER – Patient Empowerment through Predictive PERsonalised decision support.
The project seeks to develop a personalised decision support system for chronic disease management. The system, which combines case-based reasoning with predictive computer modelling, will empower patients to self-manage their diseases such as diabetes. Ref. H2020 PHC-28-2015, GA 689810.

2.
MoSHCA – My Mobile and Smart Health Care Assistant
The main objective of MoSHCA is to develop intelligent healthcare system solutions for patients with chronic diseases(diabetes, epilepsy, pregnancy related disorders, etc ) and general health monitoring (baby monitoring and general health) through medical sensors and smartphones. The eXiT group is in charge of novel intelligent algorithms, decision making models and alerts for premature baby monitoring at home, and heap surgery rehabilitation. Ref. EUREKA ITEA 2 nº 11027 – IPT-2012-0943-300000.

3.
MEDIATE - Patient Friendly Medical Intervention
The objective of the Mediate project is to increase productivity and effectiveness in healthcare and reduce patient risk and discomfort by supporting healthcare professionals in the transition from invasive, open surgery to minimally invasive, image guided intervention and treatment (IGIT). By empowering the healthcare professional through more advanced technologies during the whole treatment cycle, IGIT helps them to obtain a better clinical outcome of the treatment, predictable procedure times, fewer complications, better service to the patient and lower morbidity & mortality rates. The eXiT has developed a Clinical Decision Support System based on Case-Based Reasoning to support decision making in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Intervention. This project has received the ITEA Excellence Awards 2015. Ref. Eureka ITEA 2 no 09039 - TSI-020400-2010-84.
