The basis of participation in ITEA2

• Participation in Eureka projects
• E!3489 Mobile Personal ECG Monitor
• (2005-2007),
• E!4452 Functional state evaluation system with
  distributed intellect for elderly and disabled
  persons (2008)

Functional state evaluation system with
distributed intellect for elderly population

• Proposing company - Institute of Cardiology of
  Kaunas University of Medicine, Lithuania
• The goal of the project is development system for
  monitoring and multilevel complex evaluation of
  heart function and motion abilities for elderly
  and disabled persons
• Project idea is to develop tools of
  electrocardiosignals (ECG), respiration
  intensity, movement signals monitoring and online
  or offline analysis using multi-stage non-linear
  analysis methods and evaluation of complexity
  changes as measure of human organism status.

General goal of GUARANTEE project

• The goal of project GUARANTEE is to
  significantly enhance the personal safety of
  people in the home environment by introducing an
  active safety product (or safety system) that is
  functionally enhanced by a networked service.

14
GUARANTEE project summary

• Home and leisure accidents are a major worry,
  especially for the parents of young children and
  for adults with elderly parents. Home security is
  an increasingly important concern for European
  citizens. GUARANTEE provides a technical solution
  for personal safety in the home environment.
  GUARANTEE introduces local and network-supported
  decision making for safety applications on the
  basis of sensor input and with immediate response
  and feedback to the people concerned.

Consumer needs of GUARANTEE system

• Consumer needs for home and leisure safety exist
  mainly in 3 areas
• Safety of babies and young children,
• Safety of elderly and disabled people which want
  to retain their independence and to control their
  own lives,
• Home security systems for fire protection or
  burglar alarms.

Dissemination and Exploitation Results of
Lithuania Institutions

• INSTITUTE OF CARDIOLOGY OF KAUNAS UNIVERSITY OF
  MEDICINE
• Institute of cardiology will apply the
  methods of developed heart function analysis and
  extend them to the situations where emotional
  state of patient will be evaluated. The end
  result will be new analysis methods, articles,
  presentation on conferences, university courses.
• GERIATRIC CLINIC OF KAUNAS UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE
• Introducing enabling and home safety
  technologies for dementia patients and healthy
  elderly, participation in development of new
  products, dissemination of experience via study
  process for students, doctors, nurses, social
  workers, publications in medical press.

20
Dissemination and Exploitation Results of
Lithuania Institutions

• FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCES FACULTY OF KAUNAS UNIVERSITY
  OF TECHNOLOGY. Methods and data mining models for
  nonlinear analysis of people heart monitoring
  data. Models and algorithms for evaluation of
  complexity. Intelligent software for assisting in
  early diagnosis cardiovascular accidents. Project
  results will be presented at conferences and in
  scientific journals.
• UAB KARDIOSIGNALAS.
• UAB Kardiosignalas intends to extend ECG and
  motion signals monitoring system for elderly.

21
Consortium overview

• In this project a competent consortium works
  together, originating from 12 European countries
  54 partners.
• The GUARANTEE consortium consists of large
  companies (such as Thales and Philips), SMEs
  (such as ETIC and Kardiosignalas) and several
  universities (such as the universities of Madrid
  and Kaunas) as well as research centres (VTT and
  ESI). This consortium includes world-class
  complementary partners with all the required
  know-how in the whole added value chain from
  research to manufacturing, business roles and
  market coverage.

Task T2.5 Training data acquisition. Task
leader Institute of Cardiology of Kaunas
University of Medicine

• This task builds a set of annotated databases of
  safety events that will be used to develop the
  signal processing algorithms.
• The database needs to be sufficiently
  comprehensive to ensure the quality of the signal
  processing algorithms.
• Several databases are required corresponding to
  the different types of signal.
• Special attention is required to enable the
  exploitation of context information by the sensor
  systems.

Lithuania partners role and contribution in the
project

• The main task of Institute of Cardiology of
  Kaunas University of Medicine in participating in
  the project is creation of intellectual means,
  that is to say methods, algorithms and programs
  for assessment of functional status basing on
  on-line and off-line analysis of data that are
  received from home monitoring of ECG, respiration
  and motion activity. For real time analysis of
  recorded processes the linear methods and for
  off-line analysis - non-linear analysis methods,
  based on chaos and complex system theories will
  be used.
• The another goal is management of the project
  partners from Lithuania.
• Key persons Habil. dr. Prof. Alfonsas Vainoras,
  Head of science researcher, Dr. Liudas Gargasas.

ITEA 2 project GUARANTEE labelling and funding

• The labelling of GUARANTEE project was in 4
  December 2008,
• After labelling Project Co-operation Agreement
  must be prepared,
• ITEA 2 project are funded directly by the
  governments of partners countries, according to
  national funding procedures.
