Cost effective Direct to Eye prosthesis SMART Guidance System (D2EYE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
Approximately 800,000 hip operations are performed annually in Europe. In 56% of these operations, the components, in particular the cup, are not aligned correctly; this misalignment alters the biomechanics of the system, such that excessive wear of the cup occurs. The subsequent reduction in implant lifespan will affect ~450,000 European citizens, an average of 30,000 per year. In financial terms ...

Regional ICT based Clusters for Healthcare Applications and R&D Integration (RICHARD)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
Chronic diseases represent for healthcare systems the heaviest cost burden. Aside from the social costs in terms of suffering, they account for 70% on European average of public healthcare systems in the EU. A plethora of ICT based applications have been developed in the last years, allowing to tackle at least partially problems related to specific pathologies. However, even advanced experiences h ...

Enhanced Durability Resurfacing Endoprosthesis (EnDuRE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
Each year in Europe there are:- • 800000 hip operations costing approximately €1,942 per/implant, worth over €1.5 billion • Hip implant operations are rising by approximately 15%. • Currently 10% of all the prosthesis implanted are in patients under 55 years of age of which 33% of these will fail within 16 years with a further 20% of implant fitted to over 55’s failing with in 20 years requiring r ...
