Equip POC4TRIAGE.
A new consortium of leading organizations embarks on a groundbreaking project to enhance patient triage and healthcare delivery.
We are excited to announce the launch of POC4TRIAGE, an innovative project aimed at transforming urgent care through the development of advanced point-of-care (POC) technologies. This groundbreaking initiative brings together a consortium of 18 partners, from academic institutions, healthcare providers, and technology companies, to improve patient triage and healthcare delivery across Europe.
As urgent care settings face increasing challenges, including the need for timely and accurate patient assessments, POC4TRIAGE will address these issues head-on. The consortium comprises a diverse group of experts dedicated to improving the quality of care for patients with acute conditions, particularly in stroke and cardiorespiratory diseases. By leveraging their collective knowledge, the partners will drive innovation in medical technologies and healthcare practices.
The POC4TRIAGE consortium is comprised of 18 esteemed partners, including University of Turku, Uppsala University Hospital, Austrian Institute of Technology, Stichting Amsterdam UMC, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, University of Oulu, Eurecat, Vall d’Hebron Research Institute, Trianect BV, ICterra, NEC Italia, NEC Laboratories Europe, Organic Electroncis Saxony, Lupise, Fondazione Ebris, Stroke Alliance For Europe, Allm Emea GmbH and Ars Accessus Medica BV from all across Europe. Each partner brings a wealth of expertise and resources to the project, enhancing its capacity to deliver cutting-edge solutions in urgent care. Together, they represent a powerful collaboration between academia, healthcare providers, and industry leaders, all committed to advancing patient care through innovative POC technologies.
The primary objective of POC4TRIAGE is to develop and clinically validate novel POC devices and edge computing models that will significantly enhance the efficiency of patient triage. The project aims to provide healthcare professionals with real-time data analysis, thereby reducing response times and improving patient outcomes.
POC4TRIAGE will focus on creating state-of-the-art technologies that integrate seamlessly into existing healthcare workflows. Key innovations include:
“POC4TRIAGE represents a significant step forward in urgent care,” said Sari Nyroos, Project Specialist at University of Turku, Department of Computing. “By harnessing the power of point-of-care technology, we aim to streamline patient assessments and ultimately save lives.”
