STAMINA develops an intelligent decision support toolset for pandemic prediction and management and demonstrates its use by practitioners at national and regional levels within and across EU borders. The STAMINA toolset enables national planners and first responders to anticipate and respond to the the “known-unknowns” in their daily effort to enhance health security. Main functionality of the toolset includes:
- Real-time web and social media analytics aiming at public trust monitoring and flagging possible disease outbreaks
- POCT and smart wearable diagnostic devices for first line screening
- Predictive modeling of pandemic outbreak and its impact, along with decision-making support in implementing strategies
- Early Warning System
- Crisis management tool defining the roles and actions of key actors during crisis management
- Scenario Generation tool for creation of training scenarios
- Common Operational Picture as the main interface of the solution enabling timely and coordinated response
The toolset is accompanied by a set of Guidelines on effective implementation of risk communication principles and best practices in cross-organisational preparedness and response plans.
The use of the STAMINA toolset will be demonstrated through 12 national and regional -scale demonstrators and one large-scale cross-border simulation exercise involving all consortium partners.
The iProcureSecurity PCP project (Grant No. 101022061) follows the EC Guidelines on Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP), through a competitive series of design, prototype and pilot steps, the iProcureSecurity PCP will contract suppliers to deliver the creation and deployment of an innovative solutions.
In particular, the scope of the project is to innovate and digitalise the Triage Management System during Mass Casualty Incidents in order to optimise the response, interoperability, decision-making process and data & communication sharing among the Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The project is based on a preceding EU-funded Coordination and Support Action (CSA), which identified main capability gaps and innovation needs of the EMS Ecosystem in Europe and created a pan-European network of practitioners.
Consequently, the iProcureSecurity PCP project will address the following challenge: Improve triage scenarios through a flexible triage management system. The solutions will enable:
- a quick and accurate overview of casualties and their status;
- decision support for better allocation of available resources and quicker support for casualties;
- improved interoperability with other first responders and relevant actors;
- reduced handover times between ambulance transport and hospitals, as well as
- insights for quality assurance and training measures
MED1stMR (The Horizon 2020 research project) MED1stMR started in June 2021 and transforms current training practices to better prepare medical first responders (MFR) for stressful situations. Innovative mixed reality (MR) technology is developed to combine real-world medical simulators with virtual environments. The project will train medical first responders in MR environments to improve their situational awareness, resilience, and effective performance in medical emergencies in highly complex and unpredictable situations.
RESCUER aims to design and develop a First-Responder-centered technology toolkit that will empower the next generation of First Responders (FR) by enhancing their operational capacity and safety, specifically in adverse conditions, both environmental and infrastructure-wise. Adopting the “HERO” (enHanced nEw eRa first respOnder) concept, RESCUER will deliver a toolkit offering sense augmentation, precise and infrastructure-less self-positioning, cognitive support and multi-sense AR interfaces and robust ad-hoc intra-team communications for both verbal and data exchanges. RESCUER will also introduce the capability of extracting environment information “in situ and infrastructure-wise. The ultimate goal of RESCUER is to introduce the next generation of FRs, who will be better protected, connected and situationally aware, with enhanced operational capacity and able to efficiently operate in infrastructure-less environments without power and communications network.
