We intend to participate in the T1 activity from the scheme presented in EoI; we have experience in specific sensors design and use, in data acquisition, specialized data logger design and in the precision mechanical part if necessary (for example we realized sealed devices working in oil hole, at medium and high depth). Our institute has a department for scientific instruments and research devices and we have participated in a series of projects in the field of environment protection, landslides prediction, micro-earthquakes registration, as part of some national and international programs.   Also, another activity where we can be involved is S3, for modeling, simulation and statistical interpretation of data, of course in a close collaboration with the other partners, that would provide the scientific models of the observed phenomenon.           

  I. Our advices, costructive critics 1.       PatiMon project could be also extend for the patient monitoring stationary systems in the aim of preventing the large area spreaded diseases. For example: -computer aided monitoring system for dietotherapy treatment of the patients with metabolic diseases: diabetes, obesity, dilipidemia, hyperuricemia. -computer aided monitoring system for rehabilitation of the patients with equilibrium disorders resulting from vascular cerebral accidents, orthopedic surgical operations, etc.

The objectives of the project could be completed with: -setting out sensors types, which can be used for the proposed aim -setting out monitoring methods and their validation -medical certification of sensors – signal processing systems.
