Presentation given by Jesús Maria Presedo, from University of Santiago de Compostela, in the framework of the Emergence Forum Barcelona Biocat organized the Barcelona Emergence Forum (April 10-11th, 2014, Congress Palace, Montjuïc) supported by the TRANSBIO SUDOE, a translational cooperation project dedicated to innovation in life sciences in South-West Europe. The Barcelona Emergence Forum contributed to bringing together Academics, Companies, Investment Entities, Technology Platforms and Technology Transfer Offices from Spain, France and Portugal to set up collaborative projects on Human Health & Agro-food Innovation.

1. An open architecture for the comprehensive
follow-up of patients at home.
Jesús María Rodríguez Presedo

2. An extensible, open-source platform to
gradually transfer the medical care from
hospitals to the patient’s home
Our vision…

3. At home, patients are
guided to perform the
protocolized medical
actions at the appropriate
time

4. Agenda

5. Quality of life tests

6. Weight evolution

7. Blood Pressure control

8. Therapy administration

9. ECG Monitoring

10. Real time heartbeat detection
Automatic detection of the
ECG characteristic waves
and peaks
(i.e., QRS complex, P and T waves)

11. Dynamic ECG Beat Clustering
[Real-time Context-based Dynamic ECG Beat Clustering]
D. Castro, P. Félix and J. Presedo.
• Real time morphological
families detection
• Temporal morphology
