PROMETHEUS
Project summary
Demographic changes induce an ever-higher burden on the healthcare system. Early detection of complications and diseases and the determination of effective personalized treatments are essential to lower this burden, to prevent comorbidities, and to lower healthcare costs while simultaneously improving patient outcome and quality of life. The PROMETHEUS project seeks to leverage technological advances in pathophysiological modeling, unobtrusive sensing, imaging, monitoring and AI towards this end.
Novel monitoring approaches will be explored to optimize continuous positive airway pressure therapy for obstructive sleep apnea; camera-based techniques to monitor the health status of a broad variety of hospital patients will be evaluated and optimized; task-driven AI techniques will be explored to optimize image quality of intravascular ultrasound catheters; AI based voice monitoring technology will be explored for early detection of deterioration of heart failure patients; image analysis techniques will be explored for ablation guidance with an innovative intravascular catheter featuring a near-field ultrasound tip; reusable approaches for clinical data collection and education will be developed to accelerate clinical exploration and implementation of AI and AI-based medical technology; and an advanced identification model will be optimized and implemented towards early detection of clinical deterioration of hospitalized patients.
The general approach in PROMETHEUS is to explore and co-create novel technological solutions in a controlled clinical environment, to subsequently refine and validate them and where appropriate transfer them to extramural and at-home settings, towards deployment in the healthcare system with the aim to increase effectiveness at lower costs in combination with lower patient burden and higher patient quality of life.
