Overarching Need for Cardiology R&I: As we witness global demographic changes within our population , with larger percentages of the population being classified as elderly, society is now increasingly being faced with the huge challenge to alleviate the burden being placed on health and social care services by this cohort. Advances in technology have the potential to revolutionise healthcare delivery, reduce the amount of time spent in hospitals and support the elderly to ‘age in place’. The major causes of chronic illness such as cardiac diseases benefit from lower cost medical devices with a rapid point of care/connected health device focus. Opportunity to combine jurisdictional specialisms in Report Patient Monitoring Market. This proposed collaboration is between the two main centres within the Island of Ireland in Intelligent Sensor Technology, namely Nanotechnology and Integrated BioEngineering Centre (NIBEC) in conjunction with the Computer Science Research Institute (CSRI) at Ulster and the Biomedical Diagnostics Institute (BDI), Dublin City University in conjunction with DKIT (Dundalk) and UCD--ARCH/INSIGHT (Prof Brian Caulfield). The partnership have been highly successful at influencing EU and global impact within their respective areas and this project provides them with the impetus and funding to work collectively to make a step change to where industry and academia are placed in the globally competitive remote patient monitoring market. The proposed PhD titles and RA innovation projects have been informed through the partnership’s experience and consultation with industry leaders. Proposed Project: The proposed project, spanning from March 2017 to December 2021, has five work packages covering various aspects of remote patient monitoring within cardiology that have been informed and shaped by industry. There will be 24 PhDs delivered over three and four year periods with varying technology ready levels, which feed into and shape five demonstrator platforms. Information added on 2020-05-05, regarding the mitigation of the effects of COVID-19 (the corona virus pandemic that started in 2019): ECME has launched a small grants competition, providing up to £30,000 to SMEs to develop products and services that respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. These include: o Machine learning monitoring algorithms o Use of clinical datasets to enhance decision making and improve patient care pathways o The design and manufacture of PPE equipment o The development of rapid diagnostic tests for COVID-19. o Development of ventilator equipment.
