The R&D department of Biomedical Technologies offers a great amount of resources
intended to give the solution to any necessity.
At the moment, it is involved in national and international projects and specific
developments in clinical and industrial environments.
Fast Concept-to-Product Cycle Designs highly restricted in size and costs High integration and minimum power consumption This
project aims to develop prototypes in the field of visual rehabilitation and
to demonstrate the feasibility of a cortical neuroprostheses, interfaced with
the visual cortex, as a means through which a limited but useful visual sense
may be restored to profoundly blind people. While the full restoration of vision
seems to be impossible, the discrimination of shape and location of objects
could allow blind subjects to 'navigate' in a familiar environment and to read
enlarged text, resulting in a substantial improvement in the standard of living
of blind and visually impaired persons.The results from this project will provide
information regarding neuroprostheses not presently available, as well as new
information about the plastic changes in the adult nervous system, which has
implications for rehabilitative training and device development

EU Project: "Cortical Visual Prostheses for the Blind" (QLK6-

ESA Project: "Definition and accommodation study Long-Term Medical Survey (LTMS)" |

The European Space Agency (ESA), together with the other space agencies, is considering a manned mission to Mars towards year 2030. That is called AURORA PROGRAMME,
which targets the exploration of the solar system with an international human expedition.
The feasibility of such a mission is being assessed; however, the necessary technologies and capabilities still need to be developed.
Being active in programs that have requirements similar to those of a mission to Mars allows getting experience on how to prepare the mission.
One suitable program is the CONCORDIA BASE in the Antarctic because of it’s:
For those reasons ESA has decided to partner with the Concordia partners in order to study the human behavior and medical parameters of the Concordia crew.
Amongst others, ESA will supply and support a system used to monitor the life and well-being (fitness) parameters of the Concordia Station crews.
This system is the scope of the Long-term Medical Survey (LTMS).
The objective of LTMS is to collect from the CONCORDIA crew, a suite of physiological parameters that should constitute a valuable asset for medical research at the station.
To decide on the parameters, ESA organized a meeting of experts in adaptation in extreme (Antarctic) environments, altitude physiology, laboratory medicine etc.
The outcome of this meeting resulted in the establishment of a baseline of biomedical parameters and measurement protocols.
The data collected from these periodic medical measurement sessions, will conform the basic resource of further research about the health condition and fitness of people in long-term stays on harsh environments.
