inCASA Danish event announcement
On 6th June 2013, inCASA will be represented by In-JeT at The Danish Welfare Technology Exhibition and Conference. In-JeT will have an exhibition stand demonstrating the project’s technical solution and results. Specifically, the transferability capabilities of inCASA will be demonstrated using the results from the municipality of Skive who is currently testing the inCASA solution. The demonstration will include the touch screen and some of the devices used by chronic elderly patients in Skive and visitors to the stand will have the opportunity to try the devices themselves. In addition to the exhibition, representatives from Skive municipality will, in cooperation with In-JeT, give a presentation at the conference about their experiences with using the inCASA solution.The annual conference is aimed at Danish municipal and regional healthcare and social care staff working with telemedicine. The Minister for Economic Affairs and the Interior, Margrethe Vestager, and former Health Minister, Arne Rolighed, are among the many prominent speakers at the conference. The programme can be downloaded here (in Danish).

National Institute of Health and Medical Research
(INSERM) has a long standing experience in the regulation of
tolerability and efficacy of cancer treatments by the circadian timing
system, ranging from rodents to patients. It has conceived and implemented
chronomodulated treatment delivery to take advantage of the control mechanisms
through which the circadian clock modulates normal tissue physiology and
tumour growth. The present research work focuses on the control of normal and malignant
cellular proliferation by the circadian clock as a determinant of cancer
treatment success. The interactions between circadian physiology, molecular
clocks and cell cycle and apoptosis processes have emerged as crucial
in the further improvement of human diseases. We further address the relevance
of circadian clock mechanisms in the efficiency of compensatory cell proliferation.
A close cooperation with the 5 academic teams and one SME in this consortium
over the past 5 years has led to this STREP proposal for uncovering the
mechanisms of the tight interactions between circadian clock, cell division
and drug pharmacology as a new paradigm for cancer and many other human
diseases. http://www.inserm.fr |
