Technological Educational Institute of Crete
The Biomedical Informatics and eHealth Laboratory (BMI and eHealth Lab) is a highly innovative and self-contained research unit of the Dept. of Applied Informatics and Multimedia of the Technological Educational Institute of Crete (TEI Crete). The laboratory is strongly involved in R&D focusing on various aspects of biomedical informatics, such as (a) semantic integration and analysis of multilevel biomedical data; (b) design and development of novel decision support techniques, algorithms, tools and systems; (c) Affective Computing; and (d) Personalized Healthcare Services and mHealth Systems. The laboratory is co-ordinated by Prof. Manolis Tsiknakis, who is Associate Professor of “Biomedical Informatics and eHealth” at the corresponding Department of TEI Crete and an affiliate researcher at the Computational Medicine Laboratory of FORTH/ICS.
TEI Crete is leading WP5 of CHIC, which focuses on the definition of the architecture for subsequent implementation and integration. The architecture specification will provide the software architecture design patterns to effectively guide and support the construction of a coherent and consistent system. Particular emphasis will be given to the definition of appropriate interfaces among the modules to enable interoperability. TEI Crete will also contribute to other key activities of the project such as scalable visualization techniques and Visual Analysis suites for the model/data repository.
Prof Tsiknakis is also the Quality Manager of the Project. In this role he is responsible for the overall quality assurance of the project. He is, thus, in charge of the continuous follow-up of the work performed, for proposing suitable corrective actions to the WP leaders concerned and for reviewing the effectiveness of such corrective actions.
