The beginning of the pandemic marked a new opportunity for the EC to satisfy new needs, such as digital technologies and Artificial Intelligence tools, to contain the wave of infections and all that COVID-19 has represented. As well as to decrease the adverse economic effects.<\/p>

In May, the EC, relaunched the Horizon 2020 call, looking for innovative initiatives and projects in response to the COVID-19 in particular those based on AI and digital tools.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In October, the EC held a special session to launch the 13 projects based on technologies for health. These projects represent a new approach through Digital Health and AI, for the protection of workers, and the early detection of COVID-19 and prevention of further infections. The initiative included 133 organizations from 25 countries. The projects will work over the next two years, and the EC contemplates that they will begin to be developed in the next six to 12 months.<\/p>

Among the projects, two are specialized in providing remote medical care through telemedicine, ICU4Covid<\/strong>is an intensive care system and ENVISION<\/strong> is a real-time monitoring application through calls, which seeks to be a support in decision making through the care of patients in ICU. This last project has already been successfully executed in Germany, and the EC is looking to integrate an AI-based data package to make predictions in patients in these conditions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Four projects are focused on the development of diagnostic devices for COVID-19, to reduce costs and waiting time. COVIRNA<\/strong>, for example, is a diagnostic test that seeks to predict through cardiovascular variables and their biomarkers through AI.\u00a0 IRIS-COV<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a portable device for quantitative colorimetric detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus. CorDial-S<\/strong>, is also a portable test that detects the presence of the virus in the body through nasal and saliva tests. Finally, VASCOVID<\/strong>, is a monitoring platform, as the ones mentioned above, this is also related to telemedicine techniques for ICU patients since it monitors when patients need artificial ventilation.<\/p>

The following three projects also combine AI tools with telehealth and telemedicine techniques. Through body temperature, blood oxygen level, heart rate, and the patient's respiratory cycle PyXy.AI<\/strong>, an AI-based system, monitors the evolution of chronic and cardiopulmonary patients, improving treatment and management of the disease. In addition, icovid<\/strong>, offers IA-based chest CT analysis for rapid diagnosis for patients suspected of COVID-19. ESSENCE<\/strong>, promotes a new model of home care, based on monitoring tools for telemedicine and teleassistance.<\/p>

Two initiatives stand out for their characteristics related to gas and air. PORSAV<\/strong>, has CE certification to be implemented in hospitals around the world, through specialized images detects gas leaks from COVID-19 patients with viral load, for which they developed a device that filters the leaks. CleanAir<\/strong>is a similar project, which develops air decontamination systems in the same way as the previous project to protect health professionals and patients from the risk of being infected.<\/p>

The last two projects are INNO4COV<\/strong> and COVID-X<\/strong>, the first one is a prevention and surveillance center against COVID-19 and the second is a link between providers of Digital Health technologies and tools and the health system.<\/p>

In addition to these Digital Health projects in response to COVID-19 by the EC and the Horizons 2020 program, they also provided funding to 10 other projects, focused on the reuse and manufacturing of medical equipment and supplies.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

La Comisi\u00f3n Europea (CE), el organismo encargado de asignar los fondos dentro de la Uni\u00f3n Europea (UE), ha elegido 13 proyectos que ser\u00e1n desarrollados a trav\u00e9s de una donaci\u00f3n de 55.2 millones de euros, y se basar\u00e1n en herramientas digitales y en Inteligencia Artificial. El inicio de la pandemia, represent\u00f3 una nueva oportunidad para la CE en satisfacer nuevas necesidades, como las tecnolog\u00edas digitales y herramientas de Inteligencia Artificial, para contener la ola de contagios y de todo lo que ha representado el COVID-19. As\u00ed como para disminuir los efectos econ\u00f3micos adversos. En mayo, la CE, relanz\u00f3 la convocatoria Horizon 2020, buscando iniciativas y proyectos innovadores en respuesta al COVID-19 en b\u00fasqueda especialmente de aquellos basados en IA y herramientas digitales. En octubre, la CE realiz\u00f3 una sesi\u00f3n especial para el lanzamiento de los 13 proyectos basados en tecnolog\u00edas para la salud. Estos proyectos representan un nuevo acercamiento a trav\u00e9s de Salud Digital e IA, para la protecci\u00f3n de trabajadores, y la detecci\u00f3n temprana del COVID-19 y prevenir m\u00e1s contagios. La iniciativa incluy\u00f3 a 133 organizaciones de 25 pa\u00edses. Los proyectos trabajar\u00e1n los pr\u00f3ximos dos a\u00f1os, y la CE contempla que comiencen a desarrollarse en los pr\u00f3ximos seis a 12 meses. Entre los proyectos, dos est\u00e1n especializados a brindar atenci\u00f3n medica remota a trav\u00e9s de la telemedicina, ICU4Covid, es un sistema de cuidados intensivos y ENVISION es una aplicaci\u00f3n de monitoreo en tiempo real a trav\u00e9s de llamadas, que busca ser un apoyo en la toma de decisiones a trav\u00e9s del cuidado de los pacientes en UCI. Este \u00faltimo proyecto, ya se ha ejecutado de forma exitosa en Alemania, adem\u00e1s la CE busca integrar un paquete de datos basado en IA para realizar predicciones en pacientes en estas condiciones. Cuatro proyectos est\u00e1n destinados al desarrollo de dispositivos de diagn\u00f3stico de COVID-19, para reducir gastos y tiempo de espera. COVIRNA, por ejemplo, es una prueba diagn\u00f3stica que busca pronosticar a trav\u00e9s de variables cardiovasculares y sus biomarcadores a trav\u00e9s de IA.\u00a0 IRIS-COV, por otra parte, es un dispositivo port\u00e1til para la detecci\u00f3n colorim\u00e9trica cuantitativa del virus SARS-CoV-2. CorDial-S, es tambi\u00e9n una prueba port\u00e1til que detecta la presencia del virus en el organismo mediante pruebas nasales y de saliva. Por \u00faltimo, VASCOVID, es una plataforma de monitoreo, como las mencionadas anteriormente, esta tambi\u00e9n se relaciona a t\u00e9cnicas de telemedicina para pacientes de UCI ya que monitorea cuando los pacientes necesitan ventilaci\u00f3n artificial. Los siguientes tres proyectos tambi\u00e9n combinan herramientas de IA con t\u00e9cnicas de telesalud y telemedicina. A trav\u00e9s de la temperatura corporal, el nivel de ox\u00edgeno en sangre, frecuencia cardiaca y el ciclo respiratorio del paciente PyXy.AI, un sistema basado en IA, vigila la evoluci\u00f3n de pacientes cr\u00f3nicos y cardiopulmonares, mejorando el tratamiento y manejo de la enfermedad. Por otra parte, icovid, ofrece an\u00e1lisis de tomograf\u00eda computarizada de t\u00f3rax mediante IA, para un diagn\u00f3stico r\u00e1pido para pacientes sospechosos de COVID-19. ESSENCE, impulsa un nuevo modelo de atenci\u00f3n domiciliaria, bas\u00e1ndose en herramientas de monitoreo por telemedicina y teleasistencia. Dos iniciativas destacan por sus caracter\u00edsticas relacionadas al gas y al aire. PORSAV, cuenta con certificaci\u00f3n CE para ser implementado en hospitales alrededor del mundo, a trav\u00e9s de im\u00e1genes especializadas detecta fugas de gases de pacientes COVID-19 con carga viral, para ello desarrollaron un dispositivo que filtra las fugas. CleanAir, es un proyecto similar, que desarrolla sistemas de descontaminaci\u00f3n del aire de igual forma que el proyecto anterior para proteger a los profesionales de salud y los pacientes del riego de ser contagiados. Los \u00faltimos dos proyectos son INNO4COV y COVID-X, el primero se trata de un centro de prevenci\u00f3n y vigilancia contra COVID-19; el segundo es un v\u00ednculo entre proveedores de tecnolog\u00edas y herramientas de Salud Digital y el sistema de salud. Adem\u00e1s de estos proyectos de Salud Digital en respuesta al COVID-19 por parte de la CE y el programa Horizons 2020, tambi\u00e9n otorgaron financiamiento a otros 10 proyectos, enfocados a la reutilizaci\u00f3n y fabricaci\u00f3n de equipos y suministros m\u00e9dicos.\u00a0 BIBLIOGRAF\u00cdA UNI\u00d3N EUROPEA https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/digital-single-market\/en\/news\/coronavirus-eu552-million-granted-research-projects-dedicated-digital-health-technologies \u00a0 HIT INFRASTRUCTURE https:\/\/hitinfrastructure.com\/news\/european-commission-backs-digital-health-ai-projects-for-covid-19 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11590,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[160],"tags":[145],"class_list":["post-11589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias","tag-noticias"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11589"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11589\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saluddigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
