eHealth Forum 2016

Nikos Naoum, Head of Product and Co-founder at Blueline talks about their mobile app, a real time on demand matchmaking-tool which connects patients and doctors. Although the app has competition they believe that following the ‘Uber’ model of allowing doctors to show real-time  their availability, they will be able to serve patients within 2 hours but also motivate doctors to join since this will mean customers for them, exactly when they need them. The team is looking into collaborations with hotels and tourist offices in order to get access to tourists who usually have a hard time finding an available doctor in a foreign country. Interviewed by Vicki Kolovou for Tech Talks Central during the eHealth Forum Festival in Technopolis, October 2016.

TTC #292 Blueline, an ‘Uber’ Version of Doctors

Vangelis(or Vangos) Pterneas, honoured by Microsoft with the title of Most Valuable Professional for his contributions to the technical community and CTO of Kinetisense, explains the impact their product has in motion analysis for patients and clinicians and how they use Microsoft Kinect to accomplish it. Kinetisense is a real-time motion analysis tool for practitioners, physiotherapists and personal trainers. It can analyse the range of motion for the patient’s shoulders, the back, the elbows and the knees allowing the practitioner to understand the improvement (or not) in motion. Kinetisense is useful to clinicians but also to athletes and even dentists, as Vangos explains, due to posture change after dental surgery. He goes on to talk about the rest of the team and the funding the Canadian company has received.

TTC #294 Vitabroad, a Venture Accommodating Healthcare Tourism

Zetta Korda and Anaxagoras Fotopoulos, two members of the Ingredio team (Dr. Zoe Kournia, the founder and CEO was not available at the time of this interview) explain how their mobile app works: a simple scanning of the ingredient label, on a cosmetic product or food package, with a smartphone camera is all you need in order to check for the toxicity of ingredients correlated with official databases provided by the World Health Organization and the European Commission. This free app (or on a budget subscription for heavier use) presents the toxicity grade of each sole ingredient and overall for the product, helping users and customers make healthy informed decisions about the products they buy.
