Project MEDIWARN, a European Territorial Cooperation Programme Interreg V-A Italy-Malta project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) of the European Union, is having its concluding event.
MEDIWARN is a collaboration between the University of Catania (through its Faculty of Engineering), the University of Malta (through its Faculty of Medicine and Surgery) and the Policlinico Vittorio Emanuele in Catania launched in 2018.
Thanks to this project, a number of monitors and sensors purchased will allow patient parameters to be displayed in a central console at the nursing station at Mater Dei Hospital, allowing nursing staff to monitor patients' vital signs without having to physically be at the bedside at all times.

Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi, Parliamentary Secretary for EU Funds, the Rector of the University of Malta, Professor Alfred J. Vella, and after a short break, there will be a series of presentations elaborating on real-life examples and further benefits of the systems installed.
