The main aim of the SINCERE Project is to involve SMEs to be active in the eHealth sector by providing them with knowledge, networking and sharing knowledge with other players, future roadmaps and innovation strategies.
SINCERE will bring SMEs closer to researchers in the eHealth field, all with the objective of preparing them for participation in Framework Programme or other research projects supported by the European Commission.
The foundation for any medical decision support is the medical knowledge base which contains the necessary rules and facts. This knowledge needs to be acquired from information and data in the fields of interest, such as medicine.
The essential approach of CASCOM is the innovative inter-disciplinary combination of intelligent agent, Semantic Web, P2P, and mobile computing technology. Conventional peer-to-peer computing environments are extended with components for mobile and wireless communication. Semantic Web services are provided by peer software agents which exploit the CASCOM coordination infrastructure to efficiently operate in highly dynamic environments. INTACT will research and develop individually tailored treatment and stepped care interventions based around risk and maintaining factors, and the processes of getting well and staying well. The network will use a wide range of methodologies spanning genetics, neurobiology, psycholinguistics, psychotherapy process and mental health service research to internet and communication technology.
The eHealth Strategy Project aims to improve healthcare services by maintaining the quality and continuity of patient-orientated services, using information and communication technologies.
