ACTIVITIES :: eTen :: News Room :: e-Vital
e-Vital, an eTEN project from Call 2001, validated the European market for the provision of a remote monitoring telemedicine service employing vital signs monitoring devices on the move. The device transfers critical vital parameters on-line to doctors and medical consultants, regardless of their location, while getting feedback back to the patients.
After the eTEN phase was completed in 2004 their final Business Plan attracted the interest of a business angel in Greece. Following two years of hard negotiations and three versions of a more focused Business Plan, the business was finally supported by a venture capital, creating a new company, called VIDAVO. The focus of the new entity is on the development of novel integrated telematics solutions in the healthcare sector. VIDAVO provides technical support for health telematics applications and consulting support for the effective integration of these solutions and for the optimization of the quality of healthcare services.
VIDAVO is now starting the deployment of an eHealth solution based on the eVital concept in Greece. Discussions are ongoing with other potential European partners for the future cooperation, the most mature business case being in Cyprus. European regions have also shown interest and VIDAVO was recently invited to present its business case in ERISA (European Regional Information Society Association) which through their IANIS+ Innovative Actions (www.ianis.net) aim at accelerated deployment of the regional information society.
