Centre Hospitalier du Pays de Gex

Wednesday 6 Aug 2025, 13:45 → 16:15 Europe/Zurich

13:45 → 14:00 Arrival at CERN

14:00 → 14:30 Visit to CERN Control Centre

The CERN Control Centre (CCC), including 39 operating tables, came into operation at the beginning of 2006. It combines the control rooms of the Laboratory’s eight accelerators as well as the operation of cryogenics and
technical infrastructures.

Speaker: Alessandro Raimondo (CERN)

14:30 → 14:45 Introduction to CERN Knowledge Transfer to Medical Applications

The technologies and scientific advances behind high-energy physics - through developments in accelerators, detectors and computing - have historically contributed to healthcare.

CERN contributes to medical innovation through its cutting-edge technologies, competencies and know-how: these are being used in areas related to medical diagnostics and imaging, therapy, dosimetry, as well as digital technologies for health applications.

Speaker: Alessandro Raimondo (CERN)

14:45 → 15:00 Introduction au Centre Hospitalier du Pays de Gex et son activité

Le Centre Hospitalier du Pays de Gex est un établissement qui regroupe l’offre d’hébergement EHPAD, une Unité de Soins de Longue Durée (USLD), et l’offre de Soins Médicaux et de Réadaptation (SMR).

15:00 → 15:45 MARCHESE presentation of the project and visit to the lab

The MARCHESE project (Machine Learning-based Human Recognition and Health Monitoring System) aims to extend the concept of contactless monitoring from industrial and emergency settings from the CERN accelerators complex with search and rescue robotics to healthcare and hospital environments. The system seeks to introduce a contactless approach for continuous, non-invasive health monitoring of patients by measuring physiological parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature) while also tracking non-physiological indicators (facial expressions, body tracking).

Speaker: Roberto Cittadini

15:45 → 16:00 Wrap-up and next steps

16:00 → 16:15 Departure from CERN
