Cluster Update
ICT & Health - Three Competitive Clusters Pool Skills and Expertise

http://www.bulletins-electroniques.com/actualites/62525.htm

MEDICEN, SYSTEM@TIC and CAP DIGITAL, three Ile-de-France competitive clusters, realized that the design, deployment and application to patients involved increasing "cross-discipline" expertise and skills. So, they decided to pool their skills and expertise for the emergence of collaborative R&D projects on ICT and Health, as part of their 2009-2011 performance contracts. They have set four priority issues, 'Knowledge Management, modeling and simulation in biology, pharmaceutics and medicine', 'Digital Imaging', 'Medical Devices', and 'E-health and telemedicine'.

MEDICEN (150 members) has set a goal of turning the Ile-de-France region into the European leader in the fields of diagnostic and therapeutic advances and high technologies for health. Its three major R&D focuses are translational medicine, biological tools for industrial use and bio-therapeutic products, and bionumerics. SYSTEM@TIC draws on more than 400 industrial stakeholders, small businesses and scientists at the crossroads of three application markets with strong societal aspects, i.e., cars & transport, telecommunications, security & defense, and two technological fields (open source software and system design and development tools). CAP DIGITAL, the competitive cluster in the digital services and contents industry, has more than 500 members, including 430 small businesses and 20 major groups, and covers 9 domain communities, i.e., e-Education, video games, knowledge engineering, culture and media, sound and interactivity, services and uses, robotics, digital design, open-source software, cooperation and new models.

Several joint projects between the stakeholders at the three competitive clusters are now being developed. For instance, COHABIT will supply the same service when a user changes terminal or geographic location, to improve comfort and security and alleviate the social and economic isolation of dependent people. IRIMI will be working on demonstrating the feasibility of a robotized imaging system around an original and innovative concept likely to meet all the imaging needs of intervention and surgical procedures. The goal of HiPiP is to shorten the time required to process images with very large amounts of heterogeneous data.

Quo VADis will be meeting the need to compensate for communication problems due to cognitive capacity loss generating social isolation, depression, insecurity and discomfort in daily life. ROMEO will be engineering a personal assistant robot. One of its applications is to allow the elderly or disabled to remain in their homes. VigTermes aims at improving the working environment of pharmacovigilance teams. Waaves GP has set a goal of transfer the WAAVES image compression technology onto components, to facilitate the sharing and use of digital images on weak power and/or roaming electronic equipment.
