Systema aims also at designing and developing solutions according to the “Design for All” methodological approach and assistive tools and services oriented to the specific end user group needs (e.g. Tools and Services for the Blind, Deaf etc).
 
Experience/Expertise

Systema Technologies during the last years has participated, as partner and Coordinator as well, in R&D projects focused on the development of assistive tools and services using state of the art technologies for the disabled and especially for the Blind and Deaf. The developed ICT applications are aiming to support the end users in different aspects of life such as education, mobility, employment etc.

Systema has also participated in the National Funded Project HIPPOCRATES-MST, the main result of which was a digital system for the early detection and classification of breast canceric microcalcifications. This system has been used and tested during a pilot use in university clinics and private hospitals..

HIPPOCRATES-MST

 Date of Release: 2006

The project concerns the development of a digital system for the early detection and classification of breast canceric microcalcifications. The system is named Breast Hippocrates (Hippocrates-mst) and is perfectly capable of competing similar software currently available in European and International market.

Hippocrates-mst system is under continual evaluation and improvement. Medical specialists participated in the research conducted for the development of the system, and kept involving during its development cycle. Hippocrates-mst was used and tested during a pilot use in university clinics and private hospitals. Hippocrates-mst research team and the medical staff of the hospitals were in close cooperation.

PROKLISI

 Date of Release: 2005

The EQUAL Project "PROKLISI" intended to embrace a set of actions to proactively anticipate newly arising exclusion and inequality conditions for the Target Groups of People Facing Disabilities (PFD) and PFD with additional inequality conditions due to immigration or drug addiction. A vocational training environment for the blind people was developed via the exploitation of virtual reality technologies, as well as an innovative application for the mobility support of people with sensorial disabilities (deaf and blind). This application was based on the portable wireless devices’ technologies (Personal Digital Assistants - PDAs). The PDAs were used in order to assist the navigation of the deaf and blind people in the buildings.
