A new ICT-based device (RHEO-01) for fast point-of-care analysis of acute ischemic stroke and other emergency situations.

Objective

Stroke is the most frequent cause of long-term disability in Europe, mainly in middle-aged and elderly people. Stroke imposes a huge health care economic burden: >5B€/year in France. RHEOFAST is developing a smart ICT-based decision support tool to assist health professionals in the efficient management of patients with acute stroke. RHEO-01 information management includes three aspects:
1- High quality data input from a connected point-of-care device that measure a patient’s inflammatory profile in 30s. The optically measured erythrocyte aggregation kinetics (EA) varies with inflammation. This information is contextualized by the patient’s clinical characteristics provided by physicians.
2-Remote smart data is managed with EA kinetics mathematical modelling, comparison with proprietary dataset and dataset enrichment with high quality data,
3- Physician-friendly output is displayed on the POC device to help physicians make treatment decisions. The whole process from standard blood collection to results takes less than 5 minutes.
Acute ischemic stroke triggers inflammation, which in turn alters EA kinetics. Hemorrhagic stroke doesn’t initially trigger inflammation. By helping physicians to quickly differentiate patients with acute ischemic stroke from patients with hemorrhagic stroke, RHEO-01 will improve the percentage of patients receiving timely life-saving thrombolytic therapy. A 1% increase in thrombolytic treatment translates to a 440K€ decrease in cost (France). Furthermore, RHEO-01 can quickly identify inflammatory profiles in patients with other emergency conditions. Based on the French situation RHEOFAST forecasts a rapid growing turnover starting in 2018 with up to 13 M€ after 5 years. We need to have a European approach to update our forecast and propose our solution to health professionals all across Europe. This is the objective of the ERYTHROAG project, which includes technical risk analysis, market research and freedom to operate study.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

SME-1 - SME instrument phase 1

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
