Objective Abnormal heart rhythms are a major cause of cardiovascular disease and death in Europe. Sudden cardiac death accounts for 50% of cardiac mortality in developed countries; ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation is the commonest underlying arrhythmia. In the ambulatory population, atrial fibrillation is the commonest one, and is associated with increased risk of stroke and heart failure, particularly in the aged population. If arrhythmias are detected at an early stage of heart disease, appropriate treatment can be effective, reducing disability and death. However, in the early stages of disease these may be transient, lasting only a few seconds, and thus difficult to detect. Current approaches to cardiac rhythm monitoring include: a) non-invasive external recording devices; which are suitable for short term (<24h) recording, and b) implantable loop recorders, which are inserted subcutaneously beneath the chest wall; capable of monitoring heart rhythm for extended periods, but there is considerable expense associated with the device, hospitalisation costs and risk of infection. The proposed joint research project through staff exchange activities, will investigate enabling technologies for non-invasive recording heart rhythm during long periods of time (>36h), using a wrist or arm wearable device with novel ECG sensing techniques and embedded real-time cardiac arrhythmia detection processes. The problem of extracting the far-field heart electrogram signal from noise components will be addressed using smart denoising algorithms. The project will impact by establishing a successful international and intersectoral partnership for the development of new technologies addressing a significant cardiovascular healthcare problem. These technologies will be suitable for integration into current e-Health and cardiac information systems, and will impact on healthcare costs reduction by improved efficiency in the diagnosis and early treatment of cardiac disease Fields of science medical and health sciencesclinical medicinecardiologycardiovascular diseasescardiac arrhythmia Programme(s) H2020-EU.1.3. - EXCELLENT SCIENCE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Main Programme H2020-EU.1.3.3. - Stimulating innovation by means of cross-fertilisation of knowledge Topic(s) MSCA-RISE-2014 - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) Call for proposal H2020-MSCA-RISE-2014 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme MSCA-RISE - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) Coordinator UNIVERSITY OF ULSTER Net EU contribution € 135 000,00 Address CROMORE ROAD BT52 1SA Coleraine United Kingdom See on map Region Northern Ireland Northern Ireland Causeway Coast and Glens Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 135 000,00 Participants (6) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all INSTITUT NATIONAL DES SCIENCES APPLIQUEES DE LYON France Net EU contribution € 18 000,00 Address 20 AVENUE ALBERT EINSTEIN 69621 Villeurbanne Cedex See on map Region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Rhône-Alpes Rhône Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 18 000,00 WATERFORD INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Ireland Net EU contribution € 31 500,00 Address CORK ROAD X91 Waterford See on map Region Ireland Eastern and Midland Dublin Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 31 500,00 S.D.
