Current focus is on developing a new form of portable medical scanner that enables stroke patients to be scanned at the site of the emergency by the attending paramedics. This will help to increase the number of stroke patients who commence their treatment within the first hour following their stroke – the golden hour – which will greatly improve their outlook and help to reduce the multi-billion £ cost of stroke to the UK economy.e-Health technologies with specific skills in :-• Medical imaging• Data acquisition and interpretation• Real-world deployment of remote medicine and telecare• Integrating well-being sensors in the environment• Sensor networksTelecommunications technologies with specific skills in :-• Photonics devices, systems and networks• Free space line-of-sight infra-red systems• Radio over fibre• RF and wireless systemsSmart-building technologies with specific skills in :-• In-building telecoms technologies• Sensor and network design• Integrating technology into the work place
