The document discusses using the Principality of Asturias in Spain as an experimentation environment for the Future Internet Core Platform (FI-CP) in the context of e-Health. It proposes a scenario involving networked hospitals across rural and urban areas where health professionals and citizens can communicate remotely. This complex scenario could validate the FI-CP and provide inputs to further develop necessary "enablers" like real-time communications, multimedia storage, identity management, and multilingual interfaces. The Principality of Asturias already meets some requirements but could be further developed to connect citizens and professionals through public and private broadband networks and standardized health information systems.

Creating a contemporary risk management system using python (dc)Piero Ferrante
Lending involves risk and in order to be a successful lender at scale that risk needs to be mitigated. We'll be discussing how C2FO has built a suite of risk management tools for underwriting and portfolio management using the PyData ecosystem, rpy2 (for integrating R), and Spyre (for building a simple web application).

ABSTRACT- Artificial selection, a method by which evolution occurs, is a process in which an organism is modified to fulfill a specific purpose. For instance, the evolution of corn dates back about 10,000 years ago. Farmers in Mexico recognized that not all plants were identical and that some were locally more adapted. Through unconscious selection and open pollination, the first landraces developed. Further progresses allowed for conscious selection. However, farmers and companies quickly realized that crossing parent plants to create hybrids was too time-consuming to be economically viable. Backcrossing reduced the time required to obtain an organism with the desired trait. Further technological developments made organic food possible through the utilization of atomic gardening. Recent progress in genetics has enabled creation of so-called GMOs, or genetically modified organisms. All of the developed methods (open pollination, mutation breeding, atomic farming, CRISPR/Cas) have a common goal: to adjust the organism to express a specific trait. Nevertheless, some of the methods are seen as potentially dangerous. Furthermore, the scientists' and public opinion on GMOs are different which raise concerns about scientific and critical literacy regarding GMOs. The present article investigates the misconception that distinguish genetically modified organisms based on the method by which they have been created and relates this misconception to literacy (scientific/critical) and critical thinking. A new term, “Adjusted Organism,” is proposed to enable a fresh, unbiased view for future discussions.

Transformative governance of personal health ecosystems Totti Könnölä
Invited speech of Dr. Totti Könnölä, CEO inf Insight Foresight Institute in the scientific conference 'Bioengineering for Healthy Ageing. Adding Life to Years' November 9th 2017, CosmoCaixa Barcelona.
Future personal health ecosystems encompass various areas of application such as chronic disease management, life-style management, independent living and emergency services. Such future systems assist in the provision of continuous, quality controlled and personalised health services to empowered individuals regardless of location and provide a horizontal development area across variety of patients, clinical specialties, technology fields and health services. Hence, the development of such ecosystems requires transformative governance that enable coordination and federation of diverse stakeholders.

All European citizens must become the center of a humanized, global and sustainable Health
System. Every service must reach out to every citizen no matter where they live, every citizen must
contact well-qualified doctors no matter the disease, citizens and health professionals must
communicate in an open way, providing both feedback and complaints. And health services must go
beyond traditional ones, provided by means of new business models involving big companies,
SMEs and governments. Only the Future Internet Paradigm will allow us to achieve these goals.
But to advance in the right direction large scale scenarios where a set of networked hospitals
covering different areas of a region, where rural areas and metropolitan areas coexist, where
medical facilities and health professionals share their time and expertise to make health system
efficient, where most citizens can have a broadband connection, where ICT companies and research
centers collaborate to achieve a user-centered health system, must be selected.
Europe is fostering the development and deployment of a platform that instantiates a unified and
consolidated open architectural approach: the Future Internet Core Platform (FI CP). The FI-CP‐
must be proven to be valid in as rich scenarios as possible. In the context of e-Health a distributed,
resource sharing scenario, centered on the user and fulfilling barriers derived from age, language,
disabilities,... (in brief, by humanity) is needed. This scenario is so complex which will provide test
situations not only to validate FI-CP but to provide inputs for further development of “enablers” (as
defined in the White paper on the Future Internet PPP Definition [1]).
Reusable pieces of functionality expected to be required by the proposed use case will require, for
instance: real-time broadband communications concerned about privacy, safety and confidentiality,
storage and handling of multimedia content, identity management and access control, personalized
specific devices aware of use contexts and user preferences, multimodal-multilingual interactive
user interfaces, support for information codifying and exchanging standards (both medical and
technological),... In summary, enablers related with human interaction, storage and handling of
multimedia content and real-time broadband communications will be shared with other use cases,
but could not be proven in a better environment that the e-Health environment as health and
wellbeing is, probably, the first global need.
Regarding the experimentation environments we foresee the following needs:
− A set of broadband connected reference hospitals, rural hospitals and primary health centers,
where telemedicine provides a sustainable approach to medical diagnosis and treatment (i.e.
remote imaging and diagnostic radiology).
2. − Hospitals where health specialists are continuously connected to patients and other health
professionals through new generation interfaces. Thus, they will be able to share resources
and knowledge.
− Primary urban and rural health centers where information systems allow a perfect
communication with patients, no matter age, language or culture (i.e. multimodal-
multilingual self-customizing interfaces).
− Information systems highly standardized, integrated with other hospitals at national and
European levels (i.e. the Electronic Clinical History). Health professionals not only will be
aware of international standardization efforts but will be active participants in
standardization groups so advances during the experimentation quickly reach society.
− Public and private infrastructures with potential to globally connect citizens with health
professionals (at home, at work...) and an ecosystem of private companies capable of giving
health services not only at health centers, specially those services related to highly prevalent
chronic diseases or well-being.
− Support of public authorities capable of building or modifying policies, convinced of the
benefits of e-Health, conscious that it is the only way of achieving long-term sustainability
of Public Health Systems and aimed to foster the e-Health realization.
The Principality of Asturias has already part of the requirements to be fulfilled by the proposed
experimentation environment. We have a set hospitals connected by a last generation broadband
network; running projects related to teledermatology/teleophthalmology at rural areas; the HUCA, a
paperless hospital with IT systems among the most moderns of Europe; public and private
broadband facilities to connect citizens with health centers and hospitals; a private set of companies
researching and investing on e-Health solutions. But we have not only acted locally: Asturian health
professionals are very active at different standardization levels (Asturias is one of the very few
regions in Spain elegible to define and use the Electronic Clinical History at national level) so
efforts and achievements will fulfill requirements of standards or will result in new ones.
And last, but not least, the commitment of the Government of the Principality of Asturias who,
according to the Asturias Health Services Modernization plan (EDESIS), foresees an investment of
around 200M€ in the convergence of research on Biosanitary, Health and ICT disciplines, the
development of e-Health and the acquisition of hi-tech equipment of proved efficacy to treat
prevalent diseases.
In summary, both our capacities and commitment makes Principality of Asturias capable of taking a
prominent role in the context of e-Health FI-PPP user's area.
