RETIPROGRAM 2.0: A clinical decision support system for Diabetic Retinopathy early detection This program, jointly developed by the Rovira i Virgili University and the Pere Virgili Institute, is a Clinical Decision Support System that helps to discriminate between diabetic people that may develop Diabetic Retinopathy and others who do not have any risk.

MIRA: Classifier of eye fundus images to detect the degree of Diabetic Retinopathy Preventive screening of the eye fundus is a usual technique to detect Diabetic Retinopathy disease (DR). This disease is one of the most important causes of blindness in adults worldwide. Automatic tools for image processing and classification may facilitate the hard work of manual labelling of this kind of images, which requires of high expertise and a lot of time of expert doctors. An eye with DR may present some of the following lesions: microaneurisms, exudates, hemorrages. The number, location and level permits to classify the disease in different stages. The computer System we offer, called MIRA, receives an eye fundus image (from a non-mydriatic camera) and classifies the image into 4 categories: No DR, Mild DR, Moderate DR and Severe DR.

An electrode device for electroencephalography A specific electrode has been designed for the recording of aEEG in the neonatal and pediatric ICU’s. The new electrode solves the problems of conventional commercial electrodes. The main difference of the new device is a design of suitable dimensions and shape that adapts to the cephalic surface of children and improves its support. It allows a safe replacement of the electroconductive gel, and a manipulation of the child without difficulties. Most available surface electrodes are not properly sized for term and preterm infant’s application. Also, they are usually attached to a long wire that connects them to the bioelectric signal amplifier. This long wire electrode hinders the manipulation of the newborn by health care staff. In addition, the electrode wire is usually attached laterally to the electrode. In the lying position, the usual position of children in the ICU’s, this joint causes a lever force that facilitates the electrode decoupling. Superficial cup electrodes available have a hole through which the electroconductive gel is replaced in order to maintain its high conductive capacity during long-term recordings. During this process, a blunt-tipped syringe is usually used to remove the old electroconductive gel and apply the new one. At this time, it is usually necessary to apply vertical pressure to beat the conductive gel layer that may have dried on the long-term recordings. This pressure can cause an involuntary contact with the scalp surface, which should be avoided in newborns due to their fragility and proximity to the fontanelles. Disposable adhesive electrodes have the disadvantage of not allowing the replacement of the electroconductive gel and therefore they must be replaced periodically. This involves more manipulation and possible changes in the recording conditions (placement, impedance, etc.). The subdermal needle electrodes which are often used in the aEEG to achieve low impedance recordings have the disadvantage of producing pain. Pain should always be avoided to improve comfort but in the aEEG it also has the disadvantage of not allowing the accurate assessment of a parameter as important as the latency of onset of the asleep-wake cycle. In addition, the subdermal electrodes have the same drawbacks as most surface electrodes available: are connected to a long wire to the amplifier and are easily detached.

MONITORING DEVICE FOR TOXIC SUBSTANCES IN WATER The invention belongs to the field of water quality and safety monitoring. More specifically, it is related to systems and methods of early detection of micro-contaminants in surface waters. Traditionally the assessment of toxicants in the water relies on water extraction and analysis by chromatography and mass spectrometry, but the chemical analysis is expensive and time-consuming. Specialized technicians are required for sampling and analysis. Only target compounds can be detected and due to poor information on toxic effects of mixtures, there are difficulties in the impact assessment. The monitoring device developed is able to measure in continuous the impact of contaminants on an aquatic ecosystem using a ‘local reference’ and coupling also passive sampling for confirmation, representing a step forward in assessing environmental risks in water. The main final users are WWTP managers, Water administrations and industries, we expect that these stakeholders widely could apply this tool, being able to rapidly take measures in case of that impact on the ecosystem or humans is detected and checking water quality in real-time in remote, saving in this way up to 50% of money invested in monitoring analysis.

Early warning system for detecting deterioration in post intensive care patients In the UK 28% of deaths in patients treated on an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) occur after the patients return to the general ward. These patients often suffer late developing complications after initial successful treatment in the ICU. There is usually a period of deterioration when a patient shows some signs of developing a complication. PICRAM (Post Intensive Care Risk Adjusted Monitoring) is a system that watches over the electronic records of the vital signs of patients after discharge from an ICU. It analyses the information to estimate the likelihood that a patient will suffer a complication in the next 24-48 hours. Patients most at risk of complications can then be identified and specialist nurses sent to start treatment early to the patients who need them most. The early detection of deterioration provided by PICRAM can save lives and reduce treatment costs.

Pplates – PETIT LOCALIZER PLATES FOR STEREOTACTIC SURGERY Stereotactic neurosurgery is a minimally invasive form of surgical intervention that makes use of a three dimensional coordinate system, attached to the skull of the patient, to precisely navigate surgical instruments to a specific position within the patient’s brain. In this context, the pPlates is a novel localizer tool which suited for fully automatic detection through a fiducial ball arrangements. The invention can be used at neurosurgical departments that offer stereotactic interventions with frames as it is compatible with existing stereotactic base frames.

BIOMARKER FOR PREDICTION OF RECURRENCE IN COLORECTAL CANCER PATIENTS Approximately 20% of colorectal cancer patients with stage II colorectal cancer experience relapse of the disease. Current clinical-pathologic stratification factors do not allow clear identification of these high-risk patients. The invention is a powerful prognostic biomarker in colorectal cancer, especially in early stages (stages I and II), which might help stratifying patients with stage II for adjuvant chemotherapy. The invention provides a gene expression classifier that distinguishes patients with low or high risk of disease relapse in colorectal cancer and that might be used in the clinics to help clinicians identify high-risk patients and choose the most appropriate treatment for a given patient.

MaGrid – Early Mathematical Training tool MaGrid is an innovative early math tablet-based training tool designed to foster pre-schoolers math precursor skills. To provide each child with a sound foundation in basic mathematical abilities, effective instruction over the pre-school years is necessary. MaGrid is language-neutral and thus makes early mathematical instruction accessible to all children, regardless of their language background or proficiency. By this means it is not only suitable for a highly multilingual school setting with a heterogeneous student population, but it can be used on a global level.
