INTERREG III - ARCHIMED, "An Integrated Broadband Telecommunication Pilot Telecervices-platform for Improving Health Care Provision in the Region of Mediterranean - INTERMED," 01/06/2006 - 31/12/2007
Objectives: Aim of the proposed project is the design, development and management of a pilot trans-, East-Mediterranean broadband communication platform for the provision of medical services for both citizens and travellers in remote/isolated regions of Mediterranean Sea , and in board ships travelling across it. The services will improve the quality of life and the feeling of safety concerning the health of citizens and travellers in the aforementioned area, through, among others, t ele-collaboration, tele-monitoring, tele-diagnosis, and e learning capabilities .

INTERREG III B ARCHIMED, "East Mediterranean Cohesion on Information and Telecommunications (EMedIT)", 10/2006-12/2007
Objectives: EMedIT 's main objectives focus upon: i) providing a roadmap of transnational integration into a common framework regarding ICT in the EastMed (EM) region, ii) promoting support services including training to ICT regional authorities and public bodies on an equal basis, iii) discussing relevant ICT issues and iv) fostering the development of ICT, thus reducing the "digital divide" gap in the EastMed. Short term outcomes of EMedIT are the establishment of cooperation and networking between all EM actors involved in ICT and the provision of Support Services and Training Assistance to the regulatory institutions, telecom operators and other relevant bodies in 4 EM countries, while the long term outcomes are the eestablishment of a unified and coherent method of acting, thinking and policy-making on ICT in the region and thus establish concrete benefits for them as well as for the public they serve.

FP6-IST-4-027333-STP. "Micro2DNA: Integrated polymer-base microfluidic micro system for DNA extraction, amplification, and silicon-based detection," (02/2006-01/2009)
Objectives: The project is going to develop a single device integrated micro system for nucleic acid extraction, purification, PCR amplification, reagent mixing, biochemical reactions and finally DNA micro array detection in real time. The technologies combined are silicon-based for the implementation of the DNA micro array detection and polymer-based for the construction of the micro fluidic module. A chip that will be developed in the project will be ideally suited for being integrated in the portable low cost system and will perform the signal transduction, interpretation and data analysis. The aim is to deliver a product targeting to point-of-care applications, with emphasis on providing very rapid and accurate results. The micro system which will be developed will be validated in four different healthcare applications.

EC-eHealth "ΑΜΙCA: Assembling Data and Knowledge at the Point of Care To Improve Medical Decision Making And Prevent Errors," (01/01/2004-31/12/2006)
Objectives:
Partners:

EC-COST 281, "Potential Health Implications from Mobile Communication Systems", (26/9/2001-25/9/2006)
Objectives: The main objective is to obtain a better understanding of possible health impacts of emerging technologies, especially related to communication and information technologies, that may result in exposure to electro-magnetic fields.
Partners: 19 European countries.

EC-COST 244bis, "Biomedical Effects of Electromagnetic Fields," European Union (1998-2000)
Objectives: Biomedical effects of electromagnetic fields, with emphasis on the mobile phone users. Application of electromagnetic waves in medicine.
Partners: About 18 European countries.

EC-Telematics HC4024, "Virtual Simulation and Treatment via Telematics Applications in Clinical Radiooncology (VIRTUOSO)", (1/5/1997-31/4/1999)
Objectives: The project scope was on the one hand the "virtualisation" of the complete treatment planning procedure, and on the other hand to make the virtual patient available of different sites than those of its physical location, thus allowing telematics co-operation of radio-oncology centres. The project efforts have been focused on developing the innovative telematics tasks and implementing these on existing professional and commercially available technology.
