EkoSmart
The EkoSmart program focuses on the integration of solutions in different areas into a common ecosystem. Too often the practice of introduction of smart cities shows limited focus on certain areas and lacks connection with others. One of the important objectives of the EkoSmart program is therefore the development of the platform with the same name (EkoSmart platform) which will allow easy integration of sector-specific solutions into a common ecosystem (featured in the program, as well as others) and will, as such, facilitate the identification and support of inter-sectoral value chains. This platform will be compatible with global solutions and will include concepts such as the Internet of Things (IoT).
The EkoSmart program consists of six projects, presented below, each contributing in their respective ways to the realization of the program vision.
The involvement of our laboratory in EkoSmart is mainly in RDP4 and RDP6. As founding members of the Electronic and Mobile Healthcare (EMH) initiative, our activities in the projects included upgrading the PCARD system into an affordable and user-friendly replacement for the Holter ECG monitor, and including the PCARD system in two major pilot studies of cardiac activity: screening of patients on primary level at the Community Health Centre, Ljubljana (30 doctors, 200 patients) and monitoring of atrial fibrillation after surgery at the University Medical Centre Ljubljana (4 doctors, 150 - 200 patients).
