To overcome this limit, the project will develop a Virtual Biosensor that, by making use of sensors already certified for the measurement of vital parameters, implements a logic able to predict possible patient's clinical degenerations. The basic principle is to collect the physiological parameters as the input of a mathematical model that provides an output related to the patient’s state, by using a data set (rules) established with the medical team.

In this context, the cross border approach promotes an extended point of view based on the experience of two territories that use a different organizational and business model within healthcare facilities. This provides greater robustness to the method that will be developed and the possibility to extend it more easily to other Countries operating with different models. As a result, the joint collaboration of the medical team and clinical validation of the biosensor in the Italian and Maltese health facilities are required.

The latter will benefit from better management of medical and nursing staff with a direct impact on the quality of service provided to patients. Furthermore, companies operating in the electromedical sector will exploit the innovation and technologies developed in the project by getting economic and employment benefits.
