GIMIAS Prototype

From wikipedia: "A prototype is an original type, form, or instance of something serving as a typical example, basis, or standard for other things of the same category"

GIMIAS clinical prototype referes to the previuos step of a comercial clinical application, before being integrated into a comercial product by a industrial company. There are two separate cycles when developing a GIMIAS prototype:

• Development: The first one is the development of the prototype itself inside GIMIAS.
• Technology transfer: The second one refers to the integration of the prototype functionality in a comercial product.

GIMIAS prototype development

The development of a GIMIAS prototype involves three actors:

• Researcher: Writes paper with innovative biomedical methods and algorithms and develops these in C++
• Scientific developer: Develops Plugins with graphical interface in GIMIAS
• Clinician: Tests the Clinical Prototype

Technology transfer

The second cycle involves two main actors:

• Industry scientific developer: Integrates the GIMIAS prototype into a comercial product
• Clinician: Uses the final biomedical application
