Participation in Research Projects
- REACTION - The REACTION project will develop an integrated approach to improve long term management of diabetes, continuous blood glucose monitoring, clinical monitoring and intervention strategies, monitoring and predicting related disease indicators, complemented by education on life style factors such as obesity and exercise and, ultimately, automated closed-loop delivery of insulin, (FP7-IP-No 248590).
- eu-Domain - Development of a new, innovative European ambient intelligence service platform for automatic, context sensitive offering and contracting of mobile web services across heterogeneous networks. The eu-DOMAIN service platform will interconnect people, devices, buildings and content in an interoperable network, (FP6-2003-IST-2-2003-004420 003-004420).
- RemoteCare - Developing an innovative technological platform for providing remote telematic health services., (ESA AO/1-4914/05/F/IZ).
- eHealth network - at the PHC of Santorini linking community offices in Anafi, Thirasia, Folegandros, Sikinos using eHealth records and medical collaboration services, 2003-2004 (National Project).
- SAFE - Satellites for Epidemiology and Health Early Warning, ESA Tender, 2006-2007 (Project Manager for FORTH-ICS, Organization of SAFE exercise in Crete, with participation of 20 organizations and 300 volunteers, investigating search and rescue and epidemiology scenarios in a Power plant and a hotel, as well as the outbreak of a epidemic in a refugee camp), (ESA AO/1-4914/05/F/IZ).
- HYGEIANET - Crete-A telematics center: to contribute to the development of Information Society at the Regional Level. It includes R&D in three application domains, culture, health and public administration. By building on the results of previous research and development projects of ICS-FORTH, the main objective of te project is to develop the technological infrastructure of the region, to deploy at a large scale advance multi-sectorial telematics applications and services, to evaluate their cost/benefit and cost effectiveness, and to contribute to the preparation of the Region for entering into the Information age(INTERREG II).
- ATTRACT - Applications in Telemedicine taking rapid advantage of cable television network evolution to demonstrate how European health-care providers can offer cost-effective care to patients at home. The main outcome of ATTRACT work will be a set of broadband network applications providing low cost interactive health-care services at home very competitively. These applications will be based on existing and developing European Cable Television network infrastructures in order to provide all kind of users with affordable homecare services (EC DG XIII,5th Framework Programm R&D project,Telematics 2C).
Short CV
Dr. Emmanouil G. Spanakis is a Collaborating Researcher with the Computational Medicine Laboratory (CML) of the Institute of Computer Science, Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH-ICS). He is also a visiting lecturer at the Computer Science Department, University of Crete. He holds a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Computer Science and received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in 2009 from the University of Crete, Heraklion, Greece. His expertise, specialization and research lies in the wider scientific domain of computational medicine and wireless communication networks, and in particular on biomedical informatics; wireless medical sensors; ambient intelligence and smart surroundings; e-health and m-health related services; as well as in cross-layer design in wireless ad-hoc networks; wireless interference channel under SINR constrains; performance and analysis of mobile ad-hoc routing protocols; and wireless network measurements analysis.
