Research, quality, evolution and innovation
Bio Check Up research team is addressing some of the challenges concerning the most innovative aspects in the field of precision medicine from the perspective of industry 4.0.
The research activity of Bio Check Up is oriented to the automation, digitization and quality control of the processes involved in the diagnostic workflow through the study and implementation of sophisticated algorithms.
The main research topics are:
The term “big data” is referred to extremely complex data sets, characterized by the three "V": volume, variety and velocity.
The volume is related to the amount of data, in the health sector: it is estimated that it will increases up to zettabytes (1021) by 2020. The variety refers to the different nature of medical data while velocity is related to the time needed to generate medical data.
Bio Check Up aims at the appropriate data management to encourage big data analysis to provide advanced clinical support, customized diagnostic and prognostic tools and the ability to optimize individual patient results with the delivery of a structured report.
Diagnostic imaging constitutes the majority of the information contained in clinical records; the high technological evolution of the field is enormously increasing the amount and heterogeneity of this information, with a relative increase in diagnostic accuracy.
It has therefore become necessary to define and develop innovative systems to safely manage the complexity of this data.
Bio Check Up activities intercept industry 4.0 and are aimed at exploiting and enhancing enabling technologies such as cloud, big-data management and cybersecurity.
Bio Check Up takes part in the following regional, national and international networks:
- EIT Health: a ‘knowledge and innovation community’ (KIC) of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a space where innovation can take shape through collaboration for a healthier future.
- EIT Health InnoStars: Italian node of EIT Health, promotes healthcare innovation with competitions, education, support to start-ups, conferences and many other activities.
- EIBIR: The European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR) is dedicated to the coordination of research projects and aims to support the development of biomedical imaging technologies and the dissemination of knowledge.
- Cyber 4.0: highly specialized competence center, as in the MISE Decree 29-01-2018 Cyber 4.0 is a non-partisan, apolitical and non-profit association and aims to develop, coordinate, implement a program of activities concerning IT security. The main goals are the realization of new products, processes or services and the development of of innovative technologies, processes or integrated services in the Industry 4.0.
- MedITech: Highly specialized competence center. MedITech is a highly specialized competence center of Campania and Puglia in the form of a public-private partnership. MedITech follows the standards written in the MISE Decree 29-01-2018 and is consistent with the framework of the interventions of the National Industry 4.0 Plan
Our research activities are oriented to:
- Development of radiomic and radiogenomic methodologies
- Optimization in the reconstruction and processing of multicenter and multimodal data
- Optimization of quality control procedures for diagnostic procedures
- Development of platforms for integrating and analyzing multimodal images
- Development of an imaging biobank
- Verification of the reproducibility of the applied analysis algorithms
- Definition of procedures for structured reporting
An ideal operational environment
We offer the skills and an ideal operational environment for the development and technology transfer of biomedical software oriented to the management of imaging procedure, with a view to vertical integration, with a shared management of information in a cloud environment, in accordance with current regulations of sensitive data management.
