Software

The fact that technology transfer in life and health sciences has to factor into far longer cycles is what sets it apart from other sectors. Inventions need to be validated, require marketing authorisations and rely on business models that are often tied to the reimbursements provided by social security and private health insurance schemes.

However, there are multiple potential applications of the technologies developed at Inria. The volume and diversity of information stored and transmitted in medicine is constantly expanding, and the demand for tools to process this information is growing in step with the increase in life expectancy and the legitimate desire to live longer with a better quality of life.

Below are a few examples of Inria technologies and start-ups that are most certainly ones to watch.

Simulation of organ movements caused by breathing

We present a simulation of respiratory movements based on a physiological and anatomical study. The objective is for this simulation technology to be used in surgery simulators or as treatment aids. The movement of the thorax is modelled using kinematic laws applied to each rib. The movement of the diaphragm consists of a translation of the tendons and a contraction/relaxation of the muscles. The behaviour of the soft organs is modelled using the Chainmail algorithm.

Visual programming of personal assistance applications

The assistance provided to people with disabilities relies greatly on the knowledge of the social workers providing it. Today, increasingly mobile and interconnected technologies can offer additional support. The Pantagruel approach offers a graphical tool which can be used to create orchestration applications for communicating devices. Pantagruel aims to combine the adaptability required to create personal assistance applications with the user-friendliness needed to allow caregivers to create and adapt applications.

Numerically computing the growth of a tumour

We present a decision-making aid for oncologists. Based on a series of medical images (MRI, scans), this method can be used to build a personalised mathematical model of the patient, which takes into account the type of tissues affected (lung, brain, etc.), the particular type of tumour and some parameters specific to the patient. The model can be used to predict changes in the location, size and shape of the tumour over time. It can also be used to predict the effect of the treatments envisaged.

Discovering and representing healthcare options using health information systems

We present a system based on data mining methods, designed for discovering and viewing the behaviour of patients in the healthcare system. This application enables decision-makers and health professionals to adapt and plan their healthcare offer based on data collected systematically by health information systems, which are often very rich and not used to their full potential.

Simulation and planning of medical procedures

SOFA (Simulation Open Framework Architecture) is an international open-source platform project devoted essentially to real-time simulation, particularly for medical applications. Led by Inria, the project incorporates numerous innovative research results. Downloaded more than 70,000 times, SOFA is used as much in industry projects as by academic partners and is one of the leading tools for physical simulation.

Portable and secure medical and welfare records

A personal data server embedded in a new-generation smartcard with a large storage capacity (GB). The server can be used to store a full set of medical records, interact using a dedicated application (even in offline mode), and synchronise with a central server, with strong safeguards to ensure confidentiality. This technology is being trialled in the Yvelines department with a view to creating portable and secure medical records which facilitate coordination of treatment for dependent persons.

CARDIOSENSE 3D

Demo showroom

Numerical modelling of the heart

CardioSense3D offers numerical models of the cardiac function (electrophysiology, mechanics, blood flows) in order to improve planning of cardiac therapies and assist in the interpretation of cardiac images and signals. These models are personalised. That is to say, they are adapted to the anatomy and physiology of a given patient in order to supply clinical information specific to this patient.

SYNEIKA ONE: Neuronavigation for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

In the absence of a precise means of locating the therapeutic target, doctors using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation use approximate methods to target their treatment. The SYNEIKA ONE neuronavigator uses an MRI of the patient to propose reliable, repeatable personalised treatment. The fact that the data is prepared automatically makes the SYNEIKA ONE neuronavigator a tool suitable for daily therapeutic use in a hospital environment.

Medical simulation

Real "flight simulators" for surgeons, to allow interns and young doctors to perform their first operations without any risk to the patients. Built on the SOFA open-source platform developed by Inria, these software programs simulate interactions between the user and a virtual patient in real time (manipulations, sutures, punctures, diagnostic ultrasound).
