EurValve (2016-2019)
EU FP7, 689617 (project partner: ACK Cyfronet AGH)
Valvular Heart Disease currently affects 2.5% of the population, but is overwhelmingly a disease of the elderly and consequently on the rise. It is dominated by two conditions, Aortic Stenosis and Mitral Regurgitation, both of which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, yet which pose a truly demanding challenge for treatment optimisation. By combining multiple complex modelling components developed in recent EC-funded research projects, a comprehensive, clinically-compliant decision-support system will be developed to meet this challenge, by quantifying individualised disease severity and patient impairment, predicting disease progression, ranking the effectiveness of alternative candidate procedures, and optimising the patient-specific intervention plan. This algorithmically-driven process will dramatically improve outcomes and consistency across Europe in this fast-growing patient group, maximising individual, societal and economic outcomes.

[Gredia logo] Grid enabled access to rich media content
FP6 34363, 2006-2009 (project partner: ACK Cyfonet AGH)
GREDIA created a platform for design and deployment of secure applications support for mobile devices to be integrated in the Grid. The common characteristics of business applications are the central concept of a Virtual Organisation and the demand for access and sharing of large quantities of distributed annotated numerical and multimedia content.The work advanced the SYMBIAN mobile operating system to exploit Grid opportunities. The potential effects of the Gredia platform were validated through two pilot applications servicing news and banking organisations, demonstrating secure access to distributed multimedia content in the first case and numerical annotated data in the second.
