Scientific publications

The originals of these papers, where available, were supplied to us as PostScript, so they are made available here in this format. A conversion to PDF has been attempted to make the documents viewable from within a browser, but in some cases the PostScript wasn't portable enough to generate good results. Some of the documents, for example, come with bitmapped fonts or with the pages in reverse order.

Open Days, Press coverage and PR

The AMIE system was demonstrated at the Official Opening of the Royal City of Dublin Hospitals (RCDH) Research Institute, Crest Directorate, St. James's Hospital, Dublin 8, 4th November 1996.
An open day demonstrating AMIE was held on 26th September 1996 in St. James's Hospital. This was attended by the press, by representatives from the Department of Health, Medical and scientific staff from a broad range of Irish and Northern Irish Hospitals, Universities and Educational Institutions, by members of the following scientific institutions: "APSM - The Association of Physical Scientists in Medicine" and "BEAI - Biomedical Engineering Association of Ireland", by members of "The Irish Cardiac Society", by personnel working in the field of information technology and by the general public.
Articles were published in "The Irish Times", "The Irish Independent" and "The Irish Medical Times".
