Combining Medical Knowledge to Save Lives

European researchers hope to gain more insight into cardiovascular disease by combining clinical, laboratory and metabolic records with genomic data. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the biggest killer among chronic diseases, claiming 17 million lives globally every year. Yet doctors can only attribute 50% of cardiovascular diseases to known risk factors.

New Mathematical HIV Prediction Models by EuResist Project

A cure for the virus that causes AIDS may still be beyond our grasp, but European researchers have developed a predictive software system for HIV that could help extend the lives of victims of the killer disease.

European Commission Launches Online Pilot Project

Fast and reliable access to research results, especially via the Internet, can drive innovation, advance scientific discovery and support the development of a strong knowledge-based economy. The European Commission wants to ensure that the results of the research it funds under the EU's 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7) with more than 50 billion from 2007 - 2013 are disseminated as widely and effectively as possible to guarantee maximum exploitation and impact in the world of researchers and beyond.

eHealth Closer to Reality Thanks to Real-Time Relevant Medical Data Extraction

In the framework of Holst Centre, IMEC - Europe's leading independent nanoelectronics research institute - has broadened the functionality and scope of its wireless health monitoring technology by linking it to real-time extraction of relevant medical data.

A New Ambulance Communications System

Diagnosing and treating a critically ill or injured patient as early as possible can mean the difference between life and death. A new communications system between a moving ambulance and its hospital base allows the simultaneous transmission of bandwidth-hungry video and ultra-sonic images, telephone communications and patient data, all at the same time.

European Researchers Advance Bone Implants Technology

European researchers are relentless in their pursuit to develop technologies across the board. Case in point is medical technology and bone implants. Enter a team of researchers from the Germany-based Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Applied Materials Research who have developed a simulation programme calculating the internal structure and density distribution of bone material.

New FP7 eHealth Project - GAP

The main objectives of GAP are to assess the need and the means for a generic predictive solution able to produce alarms at EU level and to elaborate an appropriate set of actions that should define the basis for a common protocol for the management of HC threats prediction in Europe: a roadmap for DG-INFSO to lead the necessary research in order to achieve an integrated and interoperable pan-European risk prediction and management tool system.
