Summary of key aims
The BMBF supports the development of monitoring systems for the prevention and the diagnostic monitoring of cardiovascualar patients. These systems are able to control e.g. blood pressure, pulse, heart rate or respiration round the clock. The patient has not to stay in hospital for that. Microsystems technology allows new methods for the long-time-monitoring of cardiovascular patients. Monitoring systems will be miniaturised so far, that they can be directly integrated in the everyday life of the patients. In a little while, diminutive sensors implanted in or fixed outside of the body will be able to detect e.g. hypertension or dysfunction of the cardiac rhythm. The sensors do not handicap the patient. Using a telemetric system , the data will be sent to the doctor - 24 hours a day and seven days a week (24/7 monitoring). Then the medic will be enabled to prepare pattern of the patient for the indiviual disease and he will also be informed within seconds, if sickness deteriorates. The development of intra- and extracorporeal monitoring systems enabling indiviual long-time-monitoring for the optimal therapy at home or in the hospital is supported by the BMBF with 15 million euros. Research facilities and enterprises can submit drafts for collaborative projects until February 11th 2005.
