TERUMO EUROPE – Plenary meeting 23rd and 24th October 2018

Terumo Corporation was founded in 1921 by several scientists and doctors, including Dr. Shibasaburo Kitasato, to produce clinical thermometers in Japan. These vital medical devices had previously been imported, until they were cut off as a consequence of World War I.

The lifelong spirit of Dr. Kitasato, whose achievements received global recognition, is found in his statement: “Scientists should never feel self-satisfaction doing advanced research; the true objective is for the results to be put to use, thereby contributing to society.”

“Contributing to Society through Healthcare,” is both Terumo’s starting point and unchanging corporate mission. Keeping Dr. Kitasato’s spirit of innovation and challenge alive, we strive to bring outstanding innovation to medicine and enable the best possible care for patients.

A.S.A.P.: A Systemic Approach for Perpetrators 5th November 2018

The meeting organized by the Veneto Region for the European project A.S.A.P.

The general objective of the project is to define and implement a model for integrating intervention methodologies used for victims and for authors of gender-based violence, with the aim of promoting an efficient network for preventing and combating violence against women. The main project activities are: a research on the existing operational models and on the regulations of the 3 countries involved (Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy) for services to support victims of violence and for the treatment of abusers and their reports and additions; a study of operational models in other EU Member States with the same focus; the development of an experimental operating protocol (for the integration of services); the experimentation of this protocol in the three countries involved; the definition and application of an evaluation system to measure the impact of the experimental protocol; the definition of the definitive operative protocol and guidelines for policies to combat violence against women to be proposed to the Authorities of the countries involved (and at European level); dissemination actions of project activities to promote the dissemination of such models in other countries.

Direct beneficiaries of the Project will be service operators in the three countries involved (Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy): about 120 in the structures supporting victims of violence, anti-violence centers and shelter houses; about 60 in the Centers for the treatment of men who are perpetrators of violence.

Indirect beneficiaries will be women victims of violence and abusive men, as they will benefit from the integrated network of services resulting from the application of the new operational protocol.

HOLOBALANCE – Plenary meeting 11th and 12th October 2018

The EU-funded Holobalance project aims to develop and validate a new personalised hologram coach platform for virtual coaching, motivation and empowerment of the ageing population with balance disorders. The third plenary meeting was held in Venice, Don Orione, on 11 and 12 October 2018. This meeting was very fruitful, we discussed about holograms, and augmented reality games, along with easy to use sensors, such as smart bracelet, smart glasses and sensorised soles. These will coach the user with specific, individualised exercises, offering new forms of accessible user interaction. The accuracy in performance of the exercises will be measured objectively in real time, through a set of motion capture and wearable sensors. Experts will monitor the status through a visual analytics expert panel. Holobalance integrates research groups, universities and companies from Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Serbia, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
