›› Participating laboratories

The implementation of the intelligent cardiac monitoring system Calicot software have required the competence of several fields. First of all, the medical knowledge comes from the university hospital of Rennes. Then, the signal processing competence is provided by the LTSI (laboratory for signal and image processing), university of Rennes. Finally, the competence in computer science and artificial intelligence is brought by IRISA. The role of each partner is detailed in the sequel.

IRISA

The Calicot software is mainly supported by the DREAM team of IRISA which is in charge of implementing and updating the system. Several PhDs, supervised by Marie-Odile Cordier and René Quiniou, has been completed within Calicot:

  • François Portet : Pilotage d'algorithmes pour la reconnaissance en ligne d'arythmies cardiaques (2006)
  • Elisa Fromont : Apprentissage multisource par programmation logique inductive : application à la caractérisation d'arythmies cardiaques (2005)

The implementation and development of the software has been achieved by Lucie Callens and François Portet.

LTSI - U642

logo LTSI

The LTSI U642 brings knowledge and know-how on ECG signal processing and on electrophysiology, precisely, in the context of monitoring cardiac arrhythmias. Detecting P waves, QRS complexes and their interrelations as correctly as possible is an important issue. In the frame of IP-Calicot Guy Carrault has participated in the supervision of Elisa Fromont's thesis and has supervised the theses of:

  • Feng Wang : Abstraction temporelle de signal ECG, apprentissage inductif de contraintes temporelles et reconnaissance des arythmies cardiaques (2002)
  • François Portet : Pilotage d'algorithmes pour la reconnaissance en ligne d'arythmies cardiaques (2006)

›› Partners

Rennes university hospital

logo CHU

The Rennes university hospital, especially the department of cardiology and vascular diseases (SCVM) acted as consultant during the Calicot project. It has been an historical partner of LTSI since 1988 (its members have now joined the LTSI). The SCVM expresses the clinical expectations, provides expert knowledge, validates learned expert rules, gives advice about the implemented monitoring workstation. Philippe Mabo now at the head of the SCVM has been the most active participant in the Calicot project.

ELA medical

logo ELA

ELA medical Sorin is one of the major european maker of cardiac devices. It develops also high-tech Holter systems for ambulatory surveillance of cardiac arrhythmias. ELA medical was the industrial partner of two projects funded by the french research minister and coordinated by the LTSI (the PISE ACI and the CEPICA RNTS project).

France Telecom R&D
