Prototyping and Business Potential

This chapter describes the general look and feel of the StrokeBack system. It concentrates on real-world requirements and previous experiences in telemedicine work and provides the blue print for the StrokeBack system development. The implementation and integration of the overall project solution into a “Smart Table” and “Mobile Station” of MEYTEC is described. In the follow-up aspects related to exploitation of the project results, commercialization and business potential are discussed. It provides the details of the associated market, the profiles of the tentative clients and the opportunities for further post-project exploitation. The same is done for by-products of the project. In addition the reader is provided with details related to regulatory framework regarding medical devices and software and the assessment of the consortium regarding a characterization of exploitable outcomes from this framework.
