< BACK Fostering Synergy: iPROLEPSIS and DHU Partnership Aug 31, 2023 Exploring Collaboration and Synergies with Digital Health Uptake Project This week, we had a fantastic opportunity to connect with Anett Ruszanov, the representative of empirica, the coordinating organisation of the Digital Health Uptake (DHU) project. Our discussion focused on exploring collaboration and networking opportunities between iPROLEPSIS and DHU. The Digital Health Uptake (DHU) project, funded through the Digital Europe Programme, is dedicated to aligning policies, strategies, instruments, and activities to promote the adoption of digital health solutions and services across Europe. DHU's efforts are categorized into three key aspects: RADAR, KNOWLEDGE COMMUNITY, and ACCELERATOR. During the conversation, Prof. Leontios Hadjileontiadis, iPROLEPSIS project coordinator, and Anett Ruszanov discussed possibilities for collaboration and synergies, such as mutual promotion of relevant news and events through websites, newsletters, and social media, as well as potential co-organisation of events. This dynamic conversation paved the way for the next steps in our partnership. We greatly appreciate this initiative and eagerly anticipate the next steps in our partnership!

< BACK Exploring the iPROLEPSIS Project: Insights from J. Luime Sep 17, 2024 Innovative Approaches to Monitoring and Managing Psoriatic Arthritis Jolanda Luime, senior researcher and project partner from Erasmus MC (the Netherlands), shares insights on the iPROLEPSIS project. The iPROLEPSIS project represents a significant advancement in the field of psoriatic arthritis research. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, including smartphones and data analysis, iPROLEPSIS aims to transform how we measure and understand psoriatic arthritis activity. Traditional methods of tracking psoriatic arthritis often fall short in capturing the full scope of the disease’s impact. iPROLEPSIS seeks to address this gap by exploring new and innovative approaches. The project uses advanced technology to monitor movement patterns and other key indicators of disease activity, offering a more comprehensive view of how the condition affects patients on a daily basis. One of the core objectives of iPROLEPSIS is to empower patients with better tools for managing their condition. By providing more detailed insights into disease activity, the project aims to help patients make informed decisions about their health and potentially prevent disease flares before they occur. This proactive approach has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for those living with psoriatic arthritis. In addition to benefiting patients, iPROLEPSIS aims to to support clinicians by offering more accurate and actionable data. With better insights into disease activity and treatment effectiveness, healthcare providers can make more informed decisions regarding medication adjustments and overall treatment strategies. This not only enhances patient care but also helps streamline clinical practices, making the process more efficient and effective. Through the iPROLEPSIS project, the aim is to provide patients and clinicians with the tools they need to better understand and manage psoriatic arthritis, ultimately improving both patient outcomes and clinical practices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2Gz-gl5uBY 1/1 PREVIOUS NEXT

< BACK Can ChatGPT provide appropriate meal plans for NCD patients? May 30, 2024 Assessing ChatGPT's Capability to Generate Personalised Meal Plans for Managing Non-Communicable Diseases Dietary habits significantly affect health conditions and are closely related to the onset and progression of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Consequently, a well-balanced diet plays an important role in lessening the effects of various disorders, including NCDs. Several artificial intelligence recommendation systems have been developed to propose healthy and nutritious diets. Most of these systems use expert knowledge and guidelines to provide tailored diets and encourage healthier eating habits. However, new advances in large language models such as ChatGPT, with their ability to produce human-like responses, have led individuals to search for advice in several tasks, including diet recommendations. This study aimed to determine the ability of ChatGPT models to generate appropriate personalized meal plans for patients with obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and type 2 diabetes.

< BACK The Spy and Zen Forest Exergames as Sources of Digital Biomarkers for Psoriatic Arthritis: A Co-Design Paradigm Aug 24, 2026 New iPROLEPSIS publication presents co-designed exergames to support therapeutic engagement in psoriatic arthritis A new iPROLEPSIS publication presents two exergames co-designed with patients and clinicians to support therapeutic engagement in psoriatic arthritis care. The study introduces The Spy and Zen Forest , exergames that embed therapeutic movements into game mechanics. Psoriatic arthritis requires ongoing physiotherapy and exercise for joint health, but traditional approaches face challenges: patients experience low consistency in participation, high costs, and high dropout rates. The research involved co-design with 29 participants, including patients diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, clinicians, researchers, and technical experts. This collaborative approach ensured the games align with clinical goals, address patient needs, and support safe and effective rehabilitation. In The Spy, players assume the role of a secret agent completing missions that require dynamic full-body movements targeting coordination, mobility, balance, strength, and flexibility. Zen Forest emphasizes slow, controlled movements inspired by Pilates and yoga, designed to improve flexibility, relaxation, and body awareness. The publication explores how exergames can serve as sources of digital biomarkers – measurable data collected through gameplay including movement quality, repetition patterns, and task performance – that may help researchers monitor patient progress and disease patterns.

< BACK The miPROLEPSIS Joint Landmarker App Now Available for Android Devices on Google Play Store Sep 25, 2024 A New Tool for Assessing Physical Function in Psoriatic Arthritis As of 25 September 2024, the miPROLEPSIS Joint Landmarker app is available for Android devices on the Google Play Store. This app is a research app that accompanies the miPROLEPSIS app and aims to assess the physical functioning of people with Psoriatic Arthritis. More specifically, a set of 6 hand and body exercises are given and the user is asked to perform them in front of the smartphone camera. The app uses the collected videos to extract skeletal data (coordinates of skeletal joints), which are then sent to a cloud for further processing. Through the skeletal data processing, the aim is to identify whether a patient with Psoriatic Arthritis have difficulties in performing certain hand and body actions. miPROLEPSIS Joint Landmarker - Apps on Google Play 1/1 PREVIOUS NEXT
