Advanced Next-generation Technologies for Integrated Guidance and Optimization of NEw innovations

ANTIGONE explores image-analysis-based decision support tools to guide transcatheter aortic valve implantation; explores a new paradigm called data interaction to support cross-institutional remote patient management for heart-failure care pathways; establishes support to accelerate data-driven bedside MedTech innovation; develops, assesses and optimizes realistic front-end prototypes for radiologist interaction with medical images and AI; explores contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging techniques with monodisperse microbubbles for early diagnosis of prostate cancer; explores a novel integrated photonics-based creatinine sensor for use with a wearable sweat sensor; and develops high-density electronics for enhanced ultrasound tomography.

The general approach in ANTIGONE is to explore and co-create novel technological solutions in a controlled clinical environment, to subsequently refine and validate them and where appropriate transfer them to extramural and at-home settings, towards deployment in the healthcare system with the aim to increase effectiveness at lower costs in combination with lower patient burden and higher patient quality of life.
