Project start date: 1. 1. 2024
Project completion date: 30. 6. 2026
Project Budget: total 19,164,438 CZK (of which 5,056,200 CZK for VFN)
Project guarantor: KARIM, MD Michal Otáhal, Ph.D.
Project Registration Number: FW10010366 

Project brief:

The project is supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic within the Trend program from EU funds within the National Recovery Plan (Recovery and Resilience Facility).

The project coordinator is LINET, spol. s ro, VFN is one of the other participants.

The General University Hospital in Prague has long been involved in the research and development of innovative technologies to improve patient care. As part of this effort, it has joined a project that aims to expand the diagnostic capabilities of intensive care beds to include continuous monitoring of the patient's blood circulation. This technology has the potential to bring a new standard of care in intensive care units and facilitate doctors' decision-making in the treatment of critically ill patients.

Collaboration with partners to develop innovative solutions

The project is being developed in cooperation with the 1st Faculty of Medicine of Charles University and LINET. The role of the General Hospital and the 1st Faculty of Medicine of Charles University is to provide research support for the medical dimension of the project and to clinically verify the functionality of the intended solution. The common goal is to create a functional sample of the system that will enable continuous and non-invasive assessment of patients' blood circulation directly at the bedside.
