CAREPATH (H2020)

CAREPATH proposes an ICT-based solution for the optimization of clinical practice in the treatment and management of multimorbid patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment or mild dementia. It targets a complex multimorbidity scenario and follows an integrated patient-centered approach in order to develop a flexible and modular system for increasing the independence and quality of life of multimorbid patients with dementia. It aims to deliver three complementary components:

• Home and Health Monitoring Platform integrated with Advanced Early Warning Smart Decision Tools, providing environment-aware services for continuously collecting real-time data for early detection of onset and changes in functioning, autonomy, underlying cognitive, and physiological functions,
• Patient Empowerment Platform providing personalized assistance to the patients, sending reminders about care plan goals and activities for reinforcing treatment adherence, and collecting feedback from the patients for carrying out geriatric assessments,
• Adaptive Integrated Care Platform, enabling implementation of adaptive care plans for managing multimorbidity based on evidence-based clinical guidelines with the help of Clinical Decision Support Services, processing the patient’s most recent context for calculating risk scores for comorbidities, monitoring disease progression and intervention effects, and tackling polypharmacy management.

FAIR4Health (H2020)

The aim of FAIR4Health is to facilitate and encourage the European Union Health Research community to FAIRify their datasets, i.e., making them Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable, derived from publicly funded research initiatives. Specific objectives of the project can be listed as:

• To design and implement an effective outreach strategy at EU level to encourage research institutions to join the FAIR4Health community and FAIRify their datasets.
• To produce a set of guidelines to set the foundations for a FAIR data certification roadmap to ensure the high quality of data.
• To develop and validate an intuitive, user-centered FAIR4Health platform to enable the translation from raw data to FAIR data, including its curation, anonymization, validation, mapping to standard health domain vocabularies.
• To demonstrate the potential impact that the implementation of such a FAIR data strategy will have in terms of health outcomes and health research through 2 pathfinder case studies: (i) supporting the discovery of disease onset triggers and disease association patterns in comorbid patients, and (ii) a prediction service for 30-days readmission risk in complex chronic patients.

C2-SENSE (FP7)

The main objective of the C2-SENSE project is to develop a profile-based Emergency Interoperability Framework using existing standards and semantically enriched web services to expose the functionalities of Command/Control Systems, Sensor Systems, and other emergency/crisis management systems.

In the project, first, an Emergency Domain Inventory was created by surveying existing standards, real-life use cases of sensors, devices, C2 systems, and emergency management architectures for different scenarios in the security field. Based on this inventory, a common Emergency Domain Ontology was developed to gather all stakeholders’ knowledge into a unique and flexible data model. Finally, using the concepts in this ontology, 10 Emergency Interoperability Profiles that will constitute the Emergency Interoperability Framework were defined.

The outcomes of C2-SENSE were successfully demonstrated in a pilot study related to emergency management during a flood disaster in the Puglia region of Italy, ensuring that the developed technologies are generic and applicable in a real-life setting.

Meteorology

Meteorology is the official iOS and Android weather application developed by SRDC for the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs, Turkish State Meteorological Service. Here are some features of the Meteorology application:

• Detailed instant weather information for cities and districts.
• Detailed hourly and daily forecasts for cities and districts.
• Instant weather information and forecasts for the closest location calculated with GPS.
• Push notifications for meteorological alerts.
• Satellite and radar images overlaid on maps.
• Current sea temperatures and snow thicknesses overlaid on maps.
• Marine forecasts about weather events in our seas.

mePHR

mePHR is an Android application enabling patients to access their medical records, save their lifestyle diaries, medical diaries and physiological measurements, add reminders about medications or measurements. mePHR can communicate with ISO/IEEE 11073 compliant medical devices and some proprietary devices so that it can automatically retrieve weight, blood pressure and glucose measurements from proper medical devices.

mePHR4CP

mePHR4CP consists of several chronic disease and lifestyle management applications. The Diabetes app enables healthcare professionals (HPs) to create a treatment plan for patients. Patients can record their measurements, and both HPs and patients can monitor patients’ adherence to the treatment plan. With the pregnancy monitoring app, pregnant women can access information about the weekly development of their infant, record weight measurements, track weight gain, and manage their appointments with HPs. The Baby monitoring app enables mothers to access information about the weekly development of their baby, track the baby’s growth by recording weight, height, head circumference, nutrition, and sleep values, and receive notifications about baby immunizations.

Diyetick

Diyetick is an iOS application that provides personalized diet plans to its users to assist in reaching their weight goals easily. Created by Acibadem Nutritionists, these diet plans can help you keep your body fit and healthy. In Diyetick, your professional nutritionist prepares optimal diet plans and helps you get fit. Diyetick offers multiple alternative foods specific to Turkish cuisine in conformity with calorie requirements. You can choose your favorite exercises in the program and record burned calories each day. Diyetick allows you to ask questions to professional nutritionists and stay in touch with them.

eSaglikKaydim

eSaglikKaydim is a standard-based personal health record system (PHR) that can easily be integrated with any clinical information systems. It is a cloud service that enables patients to access and manage their personal health history. It enables patients to participate in their treatment process and helps them perform the required periodic activities (e.g., measurements, lab tests, examinations, medication plans, exercise plans, dietary plans, etc.) based on the care pathways. At the same time, the modules enable physicians to remotely monitor the progress of the patient and evaluate his/her health situation.

PALANTE (FP7)

The main goal of PALANTE is to empower patients so they are able to make informed decisions about their health, take an active role in their care, and collaborate effectively with their healthcare team thanks to the use of information and communication technologies.

In this project, SRDC Ltd., the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health, and the Turkish League Against Rheumatism (TLAR) conducted a Turkish pilot for Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) patients to manage their health through the Virtual Arthritis Clinical Service (VACS) developed by SRDC.

VACS enabled AS patients to communicate with healthcare professionals and other patients. On one hand, it provided information to patients about their diseases; on the other hand, it provided necessary tools by which patients could regularly store important health data such as their feelings, encounters, effects of medications, or exercises. Thanks to this information, healthcare professionals remained up-to-date on patients’ situations and intervened quickly when necessary. These interventions ranged from simple suggestions like changes in exercise programs to important actions like scheduling a doctor's appointment as soon as possible.
