MEDIATE – Patient Friendly Medical Intervention

This project has been funded by the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Comerce of the Spanish Government (project ref. TSI-020400-2010-84) within the National Plan for Scientific Research, Development and Technological Innovation.

Reference: Eureka ITEA 2 no 09039 -TSI-020400-2010-84.

The objective of the Mediate project is to increase productivity and effectiveness in healthcare and reduce patient risk and discomfort by supporting healthcare professionals in the transition from invasive, open surgery to minimally invasive, image guided intervention and treatment (IGIT). By empowering the healthcare professional through more advanced technologies during the whole treatment cycle, IGIT helps them to obtain a better clinical outcome of the treatment, predictable procedure times, fewer complications, better service to the patient and lower morbidity & mortality rates. The final outcome of the Mediate project are clinical demonstrators for different disease areas (cardiology, oncology and orthopaedics) that will incorporate advanced technologies in image generation & analysis, procedural navigation & guidance, decision support systems and workflow management.
