National Initiatives

DEMAR / MXM Innovation Lab "SoftStim" project

Participants : David Guiraud, David Andreu.

Inria Innovation-Lab "SoftStim" project (2011-2014). 1 engineer (3 y.), 20keuros.

The aim of this Inria’s national initiative is to favor the scientific collaboration and technological transfer of the innovation between DEMAR and MXM.

The aim of this project is to prototype concepts conjointly patented like stimulation unit ’s embedded sequencer and processor (new set of instructions), and implantable FES controller with its dedicated software environment.

Cosinus ANR - SoHuSim

Participants : Benjamin Gilles, Mitsuhiro Hayashibe, David Guiraud, Maxime Tournier.

Project SoHuSim on modeling muscle tissue during contraction in 3D movements using SOFA software and functional modeling of the organs. 150 kE. Partners: Inria Evasion, Tecnalia, HPC, CHU Montpellier (Oct. 2010 - Oct. 2014).

ADT SENSAS - SENSBIO

Participants : Christine Azevedo-Coste, David Andreu.

SENSAS is an Inria ADT (Actions de Développement Technologique), implying several Inria project teams on the “SENSor network ApplicationS” theme. SENSAS aims to propose applications based on wireless sensor and actuator network nodes provided from the work done around senslab and senstools preliminary projects. SENSAS is organized around the following work packages :

• SensRob : Robotics applications

• SensBio : Bio-Logging applications

• SensMGT : Wireless sensor/actuator network management/configuration applications

• SensBox : Wireless sensor/actuator network simulation applications and tools

Our team is mainly implied in the SensBio work package, in particular for the following applications: Spinal Cord Injured Patients FES-Assisted Sit to Stand, Post-Stroke Hemiplegic Patient FES-correction of drop foot, Gait analysis of parkinson freezing and Motion analysis of longterm race data.

Programme de recherche en qualité hospitaliere (PREQHOS)

Participants : Leader: Jean-Christophe LUCET (GH Bichat - Claude Bernard), Christine Azevedo-Coste, Eric Fleury (Inria), Bruno Grandsebastien (CHRU Lille).

Project: Surgery room behaviour and impact on infectious risks (ARIBO : Attitudes et Risque Infectieux au Bloc Operatoire)

INTENSE project

Participants : David Guiraud, Pawel Maciejasz, Olivier Rossel, Christine Azevedo-Coste, David Andreu, Fabien Soulier.

INTENSE (Initiative Nationale Technologique d’Envergure pour une NeuroStimulation Evoluée) is a PIA-PSPC Project (Programme Investissement d’Avenir, Projets RD Structurants des Pôles de Compétitivité) [2012-2018]. The aim of this project is to develop new implantable devices, based on neurostimulation, for heart failure.

Partners of this project are: DEMAR, SORIN CRM, MXM-Obélia, 3D plus, CEA-Leti, INRA Rennes, INSERM Rennes, HEGP, CHU Rennes.
