7th Framework Programme
( eHealth co-funded Projects )

• Better Breathing

Better Breathing will re-configure the care pathway for managing patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) by implementing ICT (Information and Communication Technology) supported home hospital services. The potential is two-fold: clinical improvements (better care pathway) and economical gain (more cost-efficient care).

• Cidre

CIDRE aims at introducing "mobile citizen services" in the trans-European market. Mobile citizen services may be provided at locations like neighbourhood centres, libraries, hospitals or shopping malls by civil servants, using mobile equipment with wireless networks. Taking into consideration local conditions and requirements, pilot trials with mobile equipment will be carried out in various test regions in Sweden, Estonia, and the Netherlands.

• DAD

The digital-aided guide for fathers-to-be is a free online service which deals in a playful way with the basics of baby care, health and safety. It is exclusively developed for men's needs and aims at motivating fathers-to-be to actively participate in infant care.

• Drugcheck

The objective of the DRUGCHECK project is to validate an on-line, pan-European service, which gathers, organises, stores, makes available and presents information and data covering pharmaceuticals and their interactions. The service provides a user-friendly, reliable, intelligent and fast mechanism to accept questions and advanced queries, process them and offer accurate answers justified with the relevant bibliography, in order to assist healthcare professionals in making the proper decisions on medication prescriptions and pharmaceutical treatments both in and out of the hospital without interrupting healthcare delivery.

• Myotel

The Myotel project investigates the feasibility of the deployment of a prototype myofeedback based tele-treatment service that enables subjects with neck shoulder complaints to receive personalised and remotely supervised treatment during their daily activities.

• Netc@rds

The NETC@RDS initiative is devoted to establish new improved health care administration services for mobile citizens across the EU. The actual phase aims at deploying e-health services via the European Health Insurance Card through a wide trans-European network simplifying health care access procedures. NETC@RDS successfully tested the electronic version of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) during its first and second Market Validation phases. The Initial Deployment phase of the project - launched on 1 June 2007 - will deploy operational services in all targeted sites, to a total of 305 service sites serving 566 service points across the participating countries.

• R-Bay

The R-Bay project aims at establishing an online marketplace within the field of radiology, i.e. an eMarketplace for the buying and selling of imaging related eHealth services. R-Bay paves the way for the creation of an internal market for exchanging eHealth services and this will lift the sharing of healthcare resources to a new dimension within a pan-European scope.

• Safe Chemo

In the critical area of cancer care SafeChemo increases chemotherapy safety by introducing automation - from e-prescription to robotics assisted preparation of therapy doses. Safechemo also aims at providing all the required process validation, reengineering and training expertise to ensure a better healthcare quality level for cancer patients.
