foot using a laser. The objective of the cloud-based solution is to make the vali-
dation of the scan available in specialized surgeries, with no geographical bound-
aries. The patients
feet are scanned, and the obtained images can be uploaded to the
cloud for validation directly from the surgery. The validation
'
finishes in a few
minutes, after which the podiatrist can decide whether any rescan or modi
cation is
required. Currently, this validation is performed off-line, making the process time-
consuming. A cloud based SaaS solution, (Fig. 19.5 ), can signi
cantly speed-up the
process and make it available from thousands of surgeries in Europe. The upper part
of the window is the upload portlet, while the results are shown in the lower part.
19.4.3 Further Development
The CloudSME project is only in its
first year at the moment. The implementation
of
five core use-cases based on the four incorporated software solutions is a work in
progress, with early prototypes, as it was illustrated in Sect. 19.4.2 , already avail-
able. These prototype implementations are scheduled to be ready by autumn 2014
with fully operational solutions by the end of 2015.
Besides the core partners and application scenarios, the project also implements
several other use-cases that not only demonstrate the wider applicability of the
technology but that will also provide valuable feedback for the further development
of the platform. These new use-cases were selected in an open call process during
the summer of 2014.
