  • From EHR chaos to AI-ready data: the InToEHR podcast series
    Mar 12 2026

    With Cristian Izquierdo Morcillo, University of Barcelona, Barcelona - Spain, Robert Mikulik, Chair, Neurology Department, Regional Hospital Zlín; Director of Stroke Research Program, St. Anne's University Hospital - Czech Republic and Guido Bertolini, Head of Department of Epidemiology, Mario Negri Institute, Milan - Italy.

    This two-part podcast series introduces the InToEHR cluster, a group of Horizon Europe projects developing innovative tools for the use and reuse of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in cardiology, emergency medicine, and stroke care.

    Experts from DataTools4Heart, eCREAM, and RES-Q+ discuss how they are moving from "data chaos" to AI-ready data through multilingual NLP, automated extraction, and semantic enrichment.

    The discussion highlights strategies for reducing clinical workload and ensuring that new technologies are ethical, sustainable, and compliant with the emerging European Health Data Space (EHDS).

    Listeners will gain insight into how these collaborative efforts are responsibly turning routine clinical data into smarter, safer patient care.

  • Key insights and breakthroughs from the TO_AITION Project
    Dec 17 2025

    With Antonis Sakellarios, University Hospital of Patras, Rio-Patras - Greece and Evangelos Andreakos, Academy of Athens Biomedical Research Foundation, Athens - Greece.

    In this episode, Antonis Sakellarios speaks with Evangelos Andreakos, presenting the key outputs and breakthroughs of the TO_AITION project and highlighting how research on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression comorbidities is being translated into practical tools and strategies.

    The conversation emphasises the development of innovative platforms for identifying individuals at risk of both CVD and depression, as well as collaborative disease network analyses and experimental models that reveal shared biological pathways linking the heart and brain.

    Antonis Sakellarios and Evangelos Andreakos also underscore how these findings support evidence-based, holistic approaches to patient care, demonstratinga how integrated, multidisciplinary strategies can improve long-term health.

  • TO_AITION: Rethinking cardiovascular diseases and depression as linked conditions
    Dec 17 2025

    With Antonis Sakellarios, University Hospital of Patras, Rio-Patras - Greece and Evangelos Andreakos, Academy of Athens Biomedical Research Foundation, Athens - Greece.

    In this episode, Antonis Sakellarios speaks with Evangelos Andreakos, exploring the growing scientific and clinical evidence that cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression are deeply intertwined, not isolated conditions. The conversation underlines why treating these conditions in isolation may limit patient outcomes and introduces innovative approaches, such as integrated risk stratification tools that support both cardiovascular and mental health care.
