 Human data mining is one of VTT’s core capabilities. It involves data mining, bio-signal and medical image analysis, systems medicine and other relevant methodologies that aid us in discovering and developing innovative solutions for early diagnostics and effective disease therapies.  VTT supports individuals and health service professionals by creating health information infrastructures. These make patient data and medical knowledge instantly available whereever and whenever they are needed. Increasingly, our solutions include mobile components that enable integration into everyday situations. 
Our solutions enable individuals to be responsible and proactive in managing
their own health, and chronic conditions. Applications that we develop combine
psychological intervention techniques with technology-based tools for
self-management.  VTT develops solutions for environmental monitoring and sustainability. Our areas of focus include satellite image-based remote sensing, ice navigation, participatory sensing and environmental information systems. |
