Euregionaal testcentrum laat nieuwe devices uittesten op patiënten

Bedrijven die hulpmiddelen ontwikkelen voor mensen met een beperking, kunnen hun ontwerp de komende jaren testen op een testpopulatie van patiënten, kine- en ergotherapeuten, artsen en wetenschappers in een nieuw Euregionaal testlabo.

“Het is haast niet te geloven, maar nog steeds maken veel bedrijven hulpmiddelen voor revalidanten die NIET of nauwelijks getest zijn op revalidanten” zegt Sarah Meyer, wetenschappelijk medewerker van het nieuwe Euregionaal testcentrum i2-CoRT. “Die devices zien er wel zeer innovatief uit, maar de praktijk leert ons telkens opnieuw dat ze na een eerste kleine test met een revalidant niet geschikt zijn voor het doel waarvoor ze werden ontworpen. Toch is er voldoende knowhow op de markt, maar die is versnipperd. Via dit testlabo willen we dus aan kruisbestuiving doen.” Het eerste contract met de industrie heeft het testlabo alvast op zak. Het wordt op maandag 3 juni om 15u. ondertekend op campus Sint-Ursula in Herk-de-Stad. Het gaat om het Nederlandse bedrijf Livit Orthopedie dat werkt aan de ontwikkeling van een innovatieve handorthese.

Het Euregionaal klinisch testcentrum wordt gefinancierd in het kader van een Interreg V-A Euregio Maas-Rijn project met een ondersteuning van 3.8 miljoen euro door het Europees Fonds voor Regionale Ontwikkeling van de Europese Unie en de geaffilieerde regionale overheden. Zo investeert de provincie Limburg ook 300.000 euro in de 3 Limburgse partners (Jessa, PXL en UHasselt).

Opening symposium

CROSS BORDER INNOVATION PROJECT BRINGS TOGETHER KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE official start i2-CoRT

The Euregional project i2-CoRT was officially launched at a symposium on the 24th of May at Adelante in Hoensbroek. The project, which is an initiative of Adelante, will last three years. It has a size of almost 4 million euro and is co-financed by Interreg Euregio Meuse-Rhine and various Euregional provincial governments. The main aim is to bring together therapists, researchers, patients, universities, university colleges, and manufacturers of technology in the Euregio in order to develop, among other, new technologies for new forms of treatment in rehabilitation medicine.
By bringing knowledge and expertise together under one roof in test centers at three rehabilitation centers in the Netherlands and Belgium, it will be possible to accelerate the innovation and implementation of rehabilitation technology. Within the main project, several subprojects are used as exemplary projects. This concerns rehabilitation robotics for arm / hand skills, sensor technology for arm / hand skills, functional strength measurement and for quantifying sitting behavior as well as 3D printing of orthoses.
The project responds to the developments concerning changes in rehabilitation service delivery, clients’ self-management and technology as a means for therapy innovation. The i2-CoRT project will also lead to more cross-border collaboration, new care concepts and business activities.

The partners in the i2-CoRT-project are: Adelante; Jessa Hospital and rehabilitation Centre Herk-de-Stad; Liège University Medical Centre; Aachen University Medical Faculty; Hasselt University; Maastricht University; Liège University; Eindhoven University of Technology; Zuyd University of Applied Sciences; PXL University College; Pôle MecaTech ASBL, WeLL. i2-CoRT brings together state-of-the-art knowledge & experience of rehabilitation centres, knowledge centres, (SME) businesses, healthcare sector organizations and patients (organizations) in order to promote and accelerate rehabilitation technology innovation and implementation. i2-CoRT is the acronym for “Innovation and Implementation accelerator for Complex Rehabilitation Technology”.
