WP1 Project Management
Financial and administrative management of the project, coordination of the consortium and planning of the schedule and timings. Led by ICFO
WP2 Module and platform development
To develop and construct a set of hardware and software modules for the integration of fNIRS, DCS and EEG in a device with an appropriate head-cap, and to develop the TinyBrains platform integrating all the modules into a unique device to provide for high-density. Led by ICFO
WP3 Ex vivo phantom validation and standardization
Test and validation of the TinyBrains platform, providing protocols and phantom-kits for exploitation. Led by BioPixS
WP4 Pre-clinical studies
To carry out research with TinyBrains in a paediatric animal model. Led by the Fundació Sant Joan de Déu (FSJD)
WP5 Clinical studies
To validate and carry out studies with the system in healthy infants and in infants with severe CHD, and test its performance during the period prior to cardiac surgery and correlate changes in brain oxygen delivery. Coordinated by FSJD
WP6 Physiological and pathophysiological characterization and data analysis
To interpret and analyse the TinyBrains signals by analysing the function/dysfunction of the neurovascular unit (NVU), brain auto-regulation and vascular and neuronal networks, to assess the complex relationship of these measurements to the extent of neuronal injury and its causes. Led by UPJV
WP7 Communication and dissemination
To disseminate and communicate the project results to the networks of the patient organizations, the general public and stakeholders, through conferences, scientific manuscripts and specific communication actions. Led by ICFO
WP8 Exploitation
To exploit the project results through the protection of intellectual property and through further application of the technology for further research even in other patient populations. Coordinated by HemoPhotonics
