“AI Methods for Personalized Suggestions on Smart Glasses Based on Human Activity Recognition” was accepted at the “2022 IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI)” conference under Biomedical Signal Processing and Sensor Informatics section. It was a poster session, and our partner FORTH included the See Far device so that the audience could submit questions, comments, and general input. Once again, the session…
The See Far booth was one of the most crowded on the «13th Scientific Retreat», of the Foundation for Research & Technology – Hellas (FORTH) that took place on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 July 2022 at FORTH premises in Heraklion, including a festive event on Saturday, and a 3-day exhibition of FORTH innovative technologies (15-17 July), together with, an art exhibition showcasing the diverse talents of…
Diabetic retinopathy is a disease that affects the retina, can be considered a complication in disease evolution and, if it is not detected, can cause serious vision problems. It occurs as a result of damage that high levels of sugar exert on the blood vessels, these can dilate and increase their permeability, producing fumes of their content or they can be partially or totally narrowed,…
What is AMD Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative condition of the central retina (macula). In macular degeneration, very important light-sensitive photoreceptors and retina pigment epithelium begin to break down, causing gradual loss of the central vision. The condition may change to a more severe stage with severe vision loss and blindness1. AMD is one of the leading causes of vision impairment globally…
What is Cataract A cataract is an opacification of the eye’s natural lens that prevents the light rays from reaching the retina, leading to visual impairment. The lens becomes less flexible, less transparent, and thicker causing loss of vision1. Proteins and fibers within the lens build up, break down, and clump together, clouding the lenses,2. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the…
“The internship with Quantitas. Srl and See Far Project has come to an end after three months of work. The time of the internship was longer than the schedule in the formative agreement with the school. We were updating one new model in the end-stage of the training, causing this prolong. However, the result came out satisfied when we had in total four models with…
From the beginning of the COVID pandemic back in March 2020, telemedicine is taking healthcare to the next level. It is promising to make state-of-the-art healthcare more accessible and fast, without the need to wait hours in line. The ongoing pandemic forced institutions and regulatory bodies to select alternative ways of providing healthcare services while limiting exposure to the virus. Telemedicine is bridging the gap…
The field of behavioral informatics has the potential to optimize interventions through monitoring, assessing, and modeling behavior in support of providing tailored and timely interventions. The See Far patient-centered research is ongoing utilizing a wearable sensing ecosystem and machine learning/AI to optimize the interventions. The latter is performed through the Smart Personalised profile which is a software component of the See Far solution. One of…
The COVID 19 pandemic triggers the need for telemedicine. The See Far project proposes a new model of specialized medical care that provides greater accessibility for everyone. It is estimated that approximately 180 million people in the world do have diabetes and needs fundus examinations for good control and follow-up. Other diseases such as age-related macular degeneration or glaucoma are equally prevalent in society and…
MDD is short for Medical Device Directive while MDR stands for Medical Device Regulation, and May 26th 2021 marked the transition from MDD to MDR. The transition had been underway for some years and was scheduled to take place on May 26th 2020, but was postponed one year to May 26th 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] What is a medical device? Medical devices can…
