AhRecovery
Supportet by: The state of North Rhine - Westphalia and European Regional Development Fund ( ERDF )
Period: 06/2011 - 09/2014
The aim of this project is to develop an intelligent ventricular assist device that automatically adapts its output to the patient's needs to achieve best therapy for the patient and reduce the workload of the clinical staff.
Project partners: Abiomed Europe GmbH, Aachen Bytec Medizintechnik GmbH, Stolberg Institut für Versuchstierkunde, RWTH Aachen Klinik für Kardiologie, Universitätsklinikum Essen (Westdeutsches Herzzentrum)
Funded by: German Federal Ministry of Research (BMBF)
Period: 01/2011 – 05/2013
The project is aiming at the development of a milling process control using bioimpedance spectroscopy for removing bone cement during the revision of artificial hip joints.
Cardiac Neuromodulation
Funded by: German Research Foundation ("Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft", DFG)
Period: 10/2010 - 12/2014
The aim of the DFG project "Cardiac Neuromodulation" is the development of an electric neurostimulating system for the selective increase of the parasympathetic nervous system in the sinoatrial node achieving a dynamic decrease of a high resting heart rate.
SmartOR: Innovative communication and network architecture for the modular integrated OR of the future
Funded by: German Federal Ministry of Commerce (BMWi, ZIM)
Period: 06/2010 – 05/2013
During the smartOR project the anesthsiologists workplace will be integrated into the smartOR network.
Kontaktlose Überwachung der Lungenfunktion mittels magnetischer Induktion bei Neugeborenen im Inkubator
Funded by: German Research Foundation ("Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft", DFG)
Period: 06/2010 - 05/2013
Goal of this project is the contact-free monitoring of ventilation of newborn infants within an incubator. By using the magnetic induction technique breathing could be measured locally. This allows continuous detection of lung diseases in clinical scenarios without the need of complex and expensive measurement technologies.
Biomon-HF - Biomonitoring in heart failure
Supported by: The state of North Rhine - Westphalia and European Regional Development Fund ( ERDF )
Period: 05/2010 - 04/2013
The aim of this project is the development of an individualized night biomonitoring for outpatient management of heart failure.
Project partner: Philips Research Laboratories GmbH Department of Cardiology (Internal Medicine I), University Hospital Aachen IEM GmbH Takeda Pharma GmbH Forschungszentrum Jülich, Central Institute for Electronics biomon-hf
HuBTex
Funded by: BMWi ZIM
Period: 05/2010 - 10/2011
To enhance washability of textile electrodes, a coating has been developed that increases the number of possible washing cycles drastically.
LAVIMO - long term monitoring of vital parameters using an in-ear sensor
Funded by: BMBF
Period: 04/2010 - 12/2011
The objective of the LAVIMO project is the assessment of cardio-vascular function using an in-ear sensor, which has been previously developed in the IN-MONIT BMBF project. Using optoelectronic measurement concepts, vital parameters are assessed continuously in a sleep laboratory or operating room under clinical conditions. These vital signs include oxygen saturation, heart rate, heart rhythm, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, vessel condition and perfusion. This project further incorporates data analysis, detection of medically relevant parameters, evaluation of parameter dependencies and implementation of methods for risc detection.
