Project PISCES

Abstract

The PISCES project will prove the concept of the Future Internet Paradigm in the Health domain, a broad and demanding field significantly affecting every individual and society as a whole in a multitude of ways. In order to tackle this challenge, two carefully-chosen test cases have been designed, based mainly on Internet of the Things (IoT), and Semantic. PISCES outcomes will include knowledge-based support system, scalable and open architecture based on the sense-and-respond architectural principle, and the deployment of an Infostructure to allow medical information exchange.

PISCES will demonstrate how the Future Internet and Semantics can be utilised to move far beyond traditional care, overcoming current obstacles in the provision of personalised high-quality health services, improving prevention and management (patient in the centre of the healthcare loop) in Healthcare services. PISCES will deliver working prototypes, whose applications are leading to produce a high social and economic impact.
