RESUME: The proposed project aims at developing an innovative approach for the treatment of large bone defects using advances in material technology. It aims to improve the autonomy and quality of life for the orthopaedic patient by helping avoid the morbidity associated with autologous bone graft
Rehabilitation of facial Praxia in Cerebral palsy using interactive Avatar – RePliCA
RePliCA project is dedicated to children suffering from cerebral palsy (CP). Cerebral palsy is the first cause of motor troubles in children. Its incidence is around 1500 new subjects per year in France. Among the numerous potential motor troubles of CP children, we will focus on facial dyspraxia. T
Retrieval And Visualization in ELectronic health records – RAVEL
The development of Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR) Datawarehouses and the Personal Health Record leads to a new paradigm in the way the healthcare professionals (as well as patients) interact with medical data. These data, whether structured or full text, are both numerous, accurate, diverse, a
Development of a pain monitoring device focused on new born infant applications. – NeoDoloris
Pain management is a general concern for healthcare quality in terms of analgesic drugs prescription. In the particular context of neonatal intensive care, it’s well known that an efficient pain management will decrease mortality and morbidity of newborns. Therefore, concerns about short- and long-t
Hospital : optimization, simulation and avoidance of strain. – HOST
In the healthcare management, the control of the healthcare flows and the anticipation of the tensions are major issues. Decisions makers must control the tensions such peaks of activities and congestion of services that are related to patient and healthcare processes flows. However, they don’t have
BIOimpedance and Temperature Organ Monitoring – BIOTOM
This project aims, in a context of organ avilabily shortage and the desire to control expend on public health, increase the number of endpoints on a graft to optimize the processing conditions, and give the possibility to delegate the explantation of organs to a team without mobilize and move precoc
Broad Band ultrasound imaging using cMUT – BBMUT
The early diagnosis of liver diseases and/or identification of any focal lesions are key issues to consider a favorable prognosis. These objectives require non-invasive dedicated diagnostic tools and justify the development of innovative techniques based on the use of new technologies. The BBMUT p
TherApeutic hypothermia BY total liquid ventilation following cardiac arreSt and reSuscitation – ABYSS
“Sudden death” or out-of hospital cardiac arrest is a major public health issue. Only a few patients can be resuscitated and further survive, often with severe neurological sequels and a high socioeconomic cost. Implementation of a moderate therapeutic hypothermia (i.e., 32°C) is known to improve th
Light Robot for tele-operated needle insertion with compensation of physiological movements. – ROBACUS
Computed Tomography (CT) -guided insertion of a needle into a patient is a major issue (more than 600 000 procedures each year in USA), both for diagnosis (biopsies for cancers or abscesses) and for therapeutics (tumor destruction, abscesses drainage, …). The target cannot be reached in more than 10
Terminologies and Semantic Resources for Healthcare – TeRSan
Health data sharing between Health Information Systems (HIS) is a challenge for the coordination of care and biomedical research. Semantic interoperability enables the sharing of the meaning of health data when the exchange is based on computer interpretable representations. It relies on the develop
Dosimetry by Radioluminescence of GaN for in vivo real time patient dose assessment for radiotherapy and interventional radiology – DoRGaN
Context In external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy, verification of the delivered dose at the target volume during each radiotherapy session and for the whole treatment is a key issue for quality assurance. To be reliable, this dosimetric monitoring must be independent and obtained in real-tim
Model and Image Controlled Prostatic Robot – PROSBOT
This project addresses the topic of computer assisted medical interventions (CAMI) and its medical domain is prostate cancer (PCa). Prostate cancer is the most frequent cancer for men with 60,000 new cases every year in France and 9,000 deaths. Its incidence has been constantly growing in the last
Hybrid Elastic Dendrigraft for the Regeneration and the Modeling in Skin Engineering – DHERMIC
Title: Hybrid Elastic Dendrigraft for the Regeneration and the Modeling in Skin Engineering (acronym: DHERMIC) The overriding function of tissue-engineered skin is to restore barrier function to patients in whom this has been severely compromised. Any loss of full-thickness skin of more than fou
Bioartificial Supply for liver failure – SUPPLIVER
SUPPLIVER is positioned in the field of the hepatic functions substitution by an approach of tissue engineering. While hepatic failures constitute a major cause of mortality at the world level, the only effective treatment at the moment in case of massive deficiency is the hepatic transplantation. T
Design and evaluation of ergonomic methods and tools for the easy entry of textual and graphical data in the medical electronic record – SIFADO (Saisie Informatique FAcile des D
Physicians use natural language to record patient data in electronic medical files but they scarcely ever use the coding tools available to them as they find them awkward. As a consequence they do not use standard terminological repositories to encode their inputs, thus failing to meet an essential
Multimodal quantification and validation of 3D regional myocardial function – 3DSTRAIN
The 3DSTRAIN project was submitted last year under the acronym VSTRAIN3D. The main issues reported by the reviewers and the evaluation committee, have been addressed: need for the adaptation of the proposed algorithm to each modality, poor involvement of the industrial partner, evaluation process to
Impact of helium-oxygen inhalation on ventilation, blood oxygenation, and aerosol deposition in chronic obstructive respiratory diseases: asthma and emphysema – OxHelease
This project deals with the use of helium/oxygen mixtures in therapies of chronic obstructive diseases such as asthma and COPD (in particular, emphysema). The global objective is to investigate the use of helium-oxygen mixtures in these diseases by characterising ventilation parameters (gas flow dis
Treatment of cardiac arrhythmia using Ultrasound guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound – CardioUSgHIFU
Over recent years, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) has become an increasingly attractive therapeutic modality. By using focused ultrasound waves, HIFU is able to create targeted thermal coagulation of tissues at a very well-defined focus without affecting intervening and surrounding tissues
MR guided cardiac RF ablation – TACIT
The objectives of this research project are to develop fast and reliable cardiac MR thermometry in order to improve the efficacy and safety of Radio-frequency ablation (RFA) for patients. RFA using a dedicated catheter has proved effective to treat cardiac arrhythmia. However, the lack of real time
