Prof. Fotiadis is the Holobalance project coordinator.
The University of Ioannina (www.uoi.gr/en) was founded in 1964 in Ioannina, Epirus, in the North Western part of Greece. Today the University has 17 departments with over 500 faculty members, 13,500 undergraduate students and more than 3,000 graduate students (MSc and PhD). The University has established a quality management system that is in conformance with the International Management System Standard ISO 9001:2000, as well as the Greek Management Efficiency Standard, with a scope of “Project Management of Research and Development of Technological and Other Related Programs and Activities”.
Most relevant to the current project is the, recently completed, PD_manager project in which UOI’s role was dual as it has contributed to the implementation of the system’s intelligence and has acted as user for the system pilots. A large number of publications on computational intelligence applications on PD remote monitoring, assessment of symptoms at home and management of the disease were produced.

The University of Freiburg (UKLFR) Medical Center has a long and rich history. Some of the most famous doctors in the world have worked here, five of which were Nobel Prize winners for achievements in medical science. The medical faculty of the medical center can be traced back to 1457, thus making it one of the oldest and most distinguished faculties in Germany. The Freiburg University Medical Center is part of the Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg, which has been recognized in 2007 as one of five outstanding centers of academic excellence in Germany. The University Medical Center Freiburg offers ready access to world-class medical treatment. It focuses on novel diagnostic procedures and treatments and applies the latest findings in clinical and biomedical research.
The Department of Neurology is located in the Neurozentrum of the Medical Faculty. About 2,900 people undergo treatment in the Department of Neurology on an in-patient basis, and another 10,000 on an out-patient basis every year. The patients are people who have suffered from a dysfunction of the motor apparatus, stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, polyneuropathy, dementia, headaches, Parkinson’s disease, and other movement disorders, as well as patients with rare neuropathological diseases. One of our clinic’s fields of expertise is neurophysiology which researches the electronic signals of the brain and nerves and the use of modern brain imaging (MRI and PET) to assess restorative capabilities of the brain for neurorehabilitation. Many test protocols were developed and standardized in Freiburg. A key research topic in the sensorimotor field is human posture control, its modelling, and re-embodiment’ into biped robots for ‘hardware in the loop’ simulations of normal balance functions as well as impairments in neurological patients.
The posture control research has a long tradition in the department. It disposes of a laboratory with a custom-made 6-D motion platform, pulling devices (contact force stimuli), visual motion stimuli, and kinematic and kinetic measurement devices. The control of the experiments, data acquisition and data analyses are performed with custom-made software. Furthermore, the laboratory comprises two custom-made posture control robots (PostuRob I, 1 DoF, ankle joints; PostuRob II, 2 DoF, ankle and hip joints). The laboratory including the motion platform and the robots were developed and build by the Neurocenter’s electronic and mechanical workshops. The postural control laboratory has developed over the last decade a model of human balancing control and implemented it into the robot for direct comparison with healthy humans and patients in the posture control laboratory.
Since 2008, the University Medical Center Freiburg has been participating in 70 research projects funded under the 4 Specific Programmes of the 7th Framework Research Programme, the 2nd Programme on Community Action in the Field of Health, DPIP, INTERREG IV Oberrhein, COST, Eurostars, ERA-NET (NEURON; ERARE).

HCI at the University of Hamburg is an interdisciplinary teaching and research group that deals with different aspects of analysis, design, engineering, and evaluation of human and task-oriented applications in the context of digital media. A particular focus of our group is on natural user interfaces for the challenging interaction in which the (often two-dimensional) virtual, digital world grabs our (mostly three-dimensional) real, physical world. The limitations of human information processing can be exploited during interaction in such scenarios through perceptions-based illusions to compensate for user weaknesses and support strengths. This allows people to interact in computer simulations of real or fictional environments, without having to consider real-world risks and limitations. Applications for these technologies are traditionally found in the areas of simulation, education, training, rehabilitation, and research.

Age UK London helps London to love later life by campaigning for older Londoners, working on their behalf, and championing their cause. Over 2 million older people (those aged over 50) live in the capital city and we work with London borough Age UKs and over 500 older people’s groups and organisations to improve the quality of life and enhance the status and influence of older people in London. We promote and represent the views of older Londoners both through our Londonwide programmes and through our campaigning and communications work.
Everything we do is based on expert knowledge and real experience and we engage with politicians and decision-makers, as well as a wide number of voluntary, statutory and private organisations. We identify and give voice to issues that affect older people via research, forums and Age UK partners and we campaign on real issues that make a difference to older people. We campaign against cuts to older people’s services and fight for the right to “heat and eat” as well as campaigning for better London transport and to protect the Freedom Pass. We campaign to end the scandal of malnutrition for older people in hospital and we promote healthy ageing, independent living and better community engagement. We promote and disseminate new ways of working and provide wide-ranging guidance and support.
