Engaging end users to the OActive world: Biomarkers, Biomechanics, Computational Modelling and more

Carles Gimeno

OActive project is pleased to invite you to the training session:“Engaging end users to the OActive world”, which will be organised online on 29th of May.

The training session will bring together EU and national representatives from:

  • Medical care industry (Hospitals, rehabilitation centers, medical care centers, medical institutes, health service providers, physicians, caregivers, companies in the health field or/and in the ICT field).
  • General public (Individuals, OA patients and their families, elderly, athletes)
  • Regulatory authorities (Ministries of health, medical organisations, orthopaedic associations, regulatory authorities, NGOs, non-profit organizations, public initiatives)
  • Research & education communities (Medical and ICT universities and research centers, interested in early diagnosis and prediction of diseases or interested in computer based modelling and simulation tools technologies, cognitive systems or human interfaces).

The end users will explore the opportunities arising from the implementation of the OActive project aiming to the early diagnosis and prevention of osteoarthritis. OActive targets patient specific prediction and interventions by using a combination of biomarkers, behavioural modelling, mechanistic computational models, simulations and big data analytics.

Scientists from well-established institutes around Europe (including University of Nicosia, LEITAT, KULeuven, Smartex, Liverpool John Moores University, CERTH, University of Patras, RIMED) will give lectures during the training. Participants will be able to raise questions to the panel of experts. 

To attend the training please follow the link to register until 28th of May 2020.
