Description du projet
Un nouveau logiciel pour un meilleur traitement mini‑invasif du cancer
GoSmart est un nouveau logiciel basé sur le nuage qui formera les radiologues aux traitements anticancéreux mini‑invasifs guidés par l’image et les aidera à planifier le traitement optimal des patients sans aucun risque dans un environnement virtuel. Il en résultera une thérapie plus précise et des processus plus efficaces et plus rentables, tout en réduisant l’empreinte carbone des hôpitaux en travaillant ensemble et en minimisant les déplacements. En outre, cet environnement de simulation permettra aux cliniciens moins expérimentés de collaborer avec leurs collègues du monde entier. Le projet SIMCARE, financé par l’UE, vise à introduire ce logiciel sur le marché en réalisant une étude de faisabilité pour comprendre les exigences techniques et commerciales. En outre, il analysera les besoins du marché et définira les besoins réglementaires.
Objectif
The objective of this proposal is to assess the potential for commercialisation of an innovative cloud-based software product which will assist interventional radiologists to perform minimally invasive cancer treatments more successfully. There are different approaches to removing tumours in organs (i.e. the liver, kidney and lung) and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the size and location of the tumour. Minimally invasive cancer treatments offer clear advantages as the procedures are targeted and much less intrusive compared to surgical resection. However, the procedure can be very technical, as the radiologist must understand how the settings of the device affect the heat transfer in the localised region surrounding the tumour. Our software product will bridge this gap and help the radiologist understand how to best perform the treatment within a virtual environment with no risk to the patient. This will bring benefits to the radiological community through more accurate treatments, will make the procedures more efficient and cost-effective, and will reduce the hospital carbon footprint through more integrated collaboration and reduced travel. In addition, as it is web-based, it will help to integrate the global interventional oncology community, providing less experienced clinicians in developing countries with a user-friendly environment to work with their more experienced colleagues on a global basis. During this project, we will enhance our simulation environment and refine our growth projections for the first 8 years on the market. We will also analyse the market needs and define the regulatory requirements for patient data sharing and use of the software in the clinical environment. This information will assist us to understand the most efficient route to bring the software to the market.
