eCAP Project

Another fruitful meeting is behind us 💫 This week, we had the joy of gathering at Institute of Image-Guided Surgery (IHU Strasbourg) to discuss progress made as we close month 30 of eCAP. On the agenda, were: 🔹Promising results from preclinical testing of eCAP communication 🔹Upcoming manufacturing, testing and validation steps 🔹Timelines for eCAP clinical studies in France, Ukraine and Kenya 🔹Publications and events in the pipeline to disseminate project results 🔹Future of eCAP - pathways to exploitation and #commercialisation 👉 Find more here: https://bit.ly/3OjJDx0 Tyndall National Institute Sentron, a Millar® Company EnteraSense Limited RDS Olymed Gastro Zentrum Betthera AMIRES #eCAP #GERD #Innovation #Diagnostics #HealthcareTech #MedTech #Research #HorizonEurope

eCAP is all set up at #COMPAMED2024 🛬 Come meet us at the booth of our consortium partners, AMIRES and Betthera to see a demonstrator of the eCAP capsule 💊 Looking forward to welcoming new and old friends alike 👋 ⏰ 11-14 November 2024 📍 Hall 8b, Booth M29 #MEDICA2024 #eCAPProject #MedicalTechnology #HealthcareInnovation #GERD #HorizonEurope

Our first publication is out 📖 Partners Betthera and Institute of Image-Guided Surgery (IHU Strasbourg) have compiled a systematic review on the #costeffectiveness and economic burden of #GERD diagnosis and treatment published in BMC Health Services Research. 📈 The paper reveals a significant economic burden from GERD, driven by both, high direct costs of treatment and #diagnostics (especially with traditional invasive methods), as well as indirect costs related to work absenteeism and reduced productivity. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are cost-effective for most patients, but new diagnostic tools and therapies, such as wireless pH capsules and novel acid blockers, are emerging as potentially more efficient, yet costly alternatives. 💡 For the eCAP project, these findings underscore the value of a minimally invasive, implantable capsule and e-health platform, which could reduce the need for hospital-based diagnostics and repeated interventions. By enabling remote, real-time GI monitoring through an integrated smartphone and cloud-based system, eCAP has the potential to lower overall GERD management costs and improve access to advanced diagnostics, particularly in low-resource settings. 🔗 You can find the full publication here: https://bit.ly/4erGEwN Marešová Petra Lukáš Režný Jan Hruška Blanka Klimova Lee Swanstrom Kamil Kuca

🌟 Come Meet Us at COMPAMED 2024! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that the eCAP project will be featured at this year’s COMPAMED trade fair in Düsseldorf, Germany. COMPAMED is a leading event for medical technology suppliers and manufacturers across the globe, and we are excited to be a part of it! You can visit the booth of our consortium partners, AMIRES and Betthera to see a demonstrator of the eCAP capsule. We look forward to meeting you in Düsseldorf! 👋 📅 11-14 November 2024 📍 Hall 8b, Booth M29 #COMPAMED2024 #MEDICA2024 #eCAPProject #MedicalTechnology #HealthcareInnovation #GERD #HorizonEurope

🚨 Exciting News! 🚨 We are thrilled to announce the release of our promotional video for the eCAP Project! 🎉 Whether you have been with us from the beginning or are just learning about eCAP, this video will spark your curiosity. It offers a sneak peek into the burden of GERD that inspired our consortium to create innovative diagnostic solutions. You will also get a closer look at the eCAP platform as we highlight its features, innovations, and potential. 💭 We would love to hear your thoughts after watching! 🔖You can learn more about the project on our website: https://bit.ly/3RvhQtu    Institute of Image-Guided Surgery (IHU Strasbourg) Tyndall National Institute Sentron, a Millar® Company EnteraSense Limited RDS Olymed Gastro Zentrum Betthera AMIRES #eCAP #GERD #Innovation #Diagnostics #HealthcareTech #MedTech #Research #HorizonEurope

⏰ 7 weeks to go! 🗓 🎊 We are excited to present several of the exciting #Health and #Biotech projects in our portfolio at the upcoming #COMPAMED Conference in Düsseldorf from 11-14 November 2024! 🇪🇺 👩⚕️ Funded by European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA), these projects represent cutting-edge innovation in #healthcare and #medicaltechnology, aimed at transforming #clinical practice and #patient care across Europe in a broad range of areas. Here’s a sneak peek of what we’ll be showcasing:  🔹PANCAIM: Integrating genomics, radiomics, and pathomics with AI to improve personalized medicine for pancreatic cancer.   🔹Tumor-LN-oC: A complex tumor-lymph node-on-chip platform to study cancer metastasis and provide personalized treatment recommendations.   🔹eCAP Project: A smart capsule paired with an e-health platform for remote monitoring of GI diseases, improving diagnostics of #GERD worldwide.   🔹NetZeroAICT: Using AI to simulate contrast in #CT scans, reducing environmental impact and health risks associated with traditional contrast imaging. We also have some new projects in the pipeline which we're excited to share about soon! 👏 👋 Come and visit us at #COMPAMED (Hall 8a, booth M29) to learn more about these innovative projects and how you could get engaged in #collaborative #research and #innovation projects with #EUfunding! Let’s connect, discuss, and explore potential collaborations! 🤝   #COMPAMED2024 #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareTransformation #AIinHealthcare #PersonalizedMedicine #MedicalDevices

Very successful prototype build for the eCAP Project completed at Sentron, a Millar® Company last week. Thanks to all the team at Sentron for your help and support. We look forward to our next milestone in the eCAP Project journey this week.

Summer does not mean an end to work on eCAP 🏖️ 📚 🥼 On top of the engineering work happening in the labs, partners at Olymed Gastro Zentrum are actively introducing #eCAP to physicians in Ukraine. In June and July, David Janelidze demonstrated the project to gastroenterologists and gastrointestinal endoscopists from Chernihiv, Dnipro, Chernivtsi and Ivano-Frankivsk as part of training events as well as conferences on acid-dependent diseases and #cancerprevention. #horizoneurope #innovation #gerd #digestivehealth #diagnostics #sensors

💡Time to recap the EPoSS Association Annual Forum 2024 - Sensing the Future #SmartSystems: Bridging Minds and #Microelectronics💡 EPoSS is an industry-driven policy initiative leading the development and integration of intelligent and green Smart Systems technologies and solutions for a sustainable society. This year, the annual forum was hosted by eCAP partner Tyndall National Institute in Cork, Ireland. 🪧 eCAP was happy to be featured at the poster session and event literature. Special thanks to Patrick Sugrue, Paul Galvin, and Eamonn Hawe for representing the consortium. #horizoneurope #innovation #gerd #digestivehealth #diagnostics #sensors

We are excited to be featured at EPoSS Association Annual Forum taking place 18-21 June in Cork. ⏰ Join Patrick Sugrue and Tyndall National Institute for eCAP poster session already tomorrow!
