ACTIVITYWhat we do
Biomedical Information
Management and Systems
 
These are systems for managing biomedical information such as patient data, whether in terms of primary or original data (e.g. medical histories, radiological information, etc.); secondary or derivative data from analysis and exploitation; or even metadata associated with patient’s genetic or therapeutic information.
 
Benefits offered by CISTIB
  • We give technological support to the various Catalan health system’s key players in their efforts to digitalize their information and its later exploitation.
  • We use the information obtained to develop innovative information management systems.
  • We develop systems which integrate computer assisted services, image diagnosis systems and surgical planning methods for healthcare centres and hospitals.
Example Project
RICORDO
 

Researching Interoperability using Core Reference Datasets and Ontologies for the Virtual Physiological Human. (STREP Project, FP7-ICT-2009)

www.vph-ricordo.eu

RICORDO for the Virtual Physiological Human is a European project from the 7FP. In coordination with the VPH Network of Excellence (NoE) and ELIXIR projects, the RICORDO plan aims to:
1. Identify properties in common among VPHDMs. / 2. Apply unique standard descriptor identifiers (IDs) to these properties. / 3. Set up communal methodologies for the local annotation of VPHDMs using these standard IDs.
A Core set of Reference Databases and Ontologies (CORDO) will bring together well established biological dictionaries to provide a communal space of stable identifiers (IDs).

ACTIVITYWhat we do
High Throughput Image Analysis
for Pharmaceutical Industry
 
We develop high throughput image analysis system for quantification of structural and functional evolution of cells, tissues and organs using multimodal image analysis.
 
Benefits offered by CISTIB
  • We develop robust and reliable biometric systems for developing large scale population studies for drug effectiveness trials (e.g. in clinical trials Phase II to IV)
  • We promote technology transfer to industry by continuously tracking market needs and by providing solutions to meet those needs through our applied research.
  • We help the pharmaceutical industry with drug effectiveness testing through the development of image analysis systems.

 
Example Project
cvREMOD
 

Convergencia de Tecnologías Médicas para la Gestión Integral del Remodelado Cardiovascular. (CENIT Program, Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology)

www.cvremod.com

cvREMOD is a recent success in our laboratory. CISTIB and Grupo Hospitalario Quirón formed a vast multi-sector consortium in order to improve results in transfer of basic and applied research to the Health Technology industry. The scientific goal of cvREMOD is to use new imaging and modelling technologies to quantify and comprehend cardiovascular remodelling mechanisms and, thus, help in:

1. Diagnosis.

2. Improvement of knowledge of patho-physiological mechanisms.

3. Optimisation of planning and personalised decision-making.

4. Improvement of follow-up and disease prevention.
