Project description
New tech to save lives on the way to the hospital
Cardiorespiratory diseases and stroke are leading causes of death in the EU, particularly in prehospital settings where timely intervention is critical. These conditions often suffer from delays due to the lack of advanced diagnostic tools available on-site. Care services urgently need new technologies to quickly assess patient conditions and relay critical information to hospitals. In this context, the EU-funded POC4TRIAGE aims to develop and clinically validate four advanced devices designed for rapid and accurate diagnostics in ambulances and emergency rooms. These include a real-time monitoring patch, a non-invasive EEG cap for stroke detection, and a handheld immunodetector. Together with a hospital connectivity platform, these devices promise to improve patient outcomes.
Objective
Cardiorespiratory diseases and stroke are among the top four leading causes of death in the EU in prehospital settings. Urgent care services are in huge need of novel Point of care (POC) computing technologies that can specifically detect patient condition and enable Hospital information system (HIS) with real-time data for triaging patients for right care. Our goal in POC4TRIAGE is to develop robust and accurate POC technologies, from POC testing (devices) to POC systems (platform) that is capable of fast diagnosis and efficient transfer of data to HIS. We will develop and clinically validate four rapid (<10 min) easy-to-use, compact, cost- and energy-efficient POC devices with Edge AI computing models, to be used in ambulance & emergency room settings. POC4TRIAGE devices include a multimodal patch for real-time monitoring of cardiorespiratory data, novel sub-hairline non-invasive EEG based head caps for rapid stroke diagnosis, including detection of large vessel occlusion stroke, and a handheld, rapid immunodetector to diagnose stroke with clinical utility for various conditions. These devices integrate into a new Device Hospital Connectivity Platform (DHCP) that visualizes data, uses AI from multiple devices to triage and seamlessly integrates with hospital systems and clinical workflows. The POC devices and DHCP will be clinically validated. POC4TRIAGE brings together some of Europe's leading POC device developers, medical professionals and clinicians, patient representatives, ethics experts, data scientists, and health economists. POC4TRIAGE will shorten the time to treatment and improve clinical outcome. POC4TRIAGE has potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery, making it more accessible and efficient, traceable, and interpretable for patients and providers alike. As the POC device and computation market is growing fast, the new POC devices, real-time data analysis, and secure computing have potential for major economic impact.
