First Call : Health Proposals related to I.2.1
Action line I.2.1 : Personal Health Systems (Petal
Citizens)
Type of projects : RS (R&D projects)
Proposals received: 24 Proposals selected: 5 EU Contribution for fundings: 11,267,569
€
The number
of proposal received is small as this domain is completely
new, and this number would be expected to increase in the
future. In particular, additional R&D activities should
be supported in the domain of health appliances and information
to the citizens for the maintenance of their health in the
work place, during leisure time, at home, etc. These activities
should support the new EU public health policies.
Project starting date: all projects started on 01/01/2000 CPA2: Cross Program Action 2 – Dependability
in services and technologies.

Internet is a completely open network putting all security components
(confidentiality, authenticity, integrity, availability) at
risk. The evolution and rapid change of the Web technologies
bring uncertainty and confusion The objectives of this project
(development and demonstration of tools for the harmonisation
of applied and emerging Web oriented security systems in telemedicine)
is a challenging task that can only be achieved within the
framework of an international and targeted co-ordination

First Call : Health Proposals related to I.2.2
Action line I.2.2 : IST Tools for Healthcare Professionals
(Petal Health Care Professionals)
Type of projects : RS (R&D projects)
Proposals received: 126 Proposals selected: 14 EU Contribution for funding: 20.960.612 €
This domain
is a classical one and 50% of the applicants had previous
contact with the 3rd or 4th FP. 50%
are new comers and substantial new concepts and technologies
are now being funded. The coverage of the work-plan is good,
and in the future these topics will not be a top priority
except in the domain of dissemination of best-practice for
improving the quality of care.
Project starting date: all projects started on 01/01/2000, excepted
project ADEQUATE (*) starting on 01/03/2000.

A new tool for dissemination
of best practice in accelerator based radio-surgery is proposed
using a real time synchronous tele-collaboration tool between
different sites. The expected results are not only optimisation
of the treatment but simultaneous improvement of organisation
of care. Computer supported co-operative working (CSCW) will
be used

The project aims to improve re-education
of patients with Parkinson’s disease by bio-feedback techniques
including motion tracking, virtual reality system and auditory
rhythmical feedback stimulators. Based on the increase of
the number of elderly people in EU, the expected social impact
of this future generic technology is very high for patient
care at home.
