Speakers’ Bio:

Gerasimos Defteraios earned his degree in Computer Science from California State University Northridge in 1992. He began his career as software engineer in the private sector in multinational projects related to data mining and visualization of official statistics. For the last 20 years he has led and managed several IT projects in the field of health and telemedicine. In 2012 he developed on behalf of the University of Crete the specialized EMR for ICUs “CritIS”. The system has been installed already in 9 ICUs in Greece, providing automatic data collection from medical equipment, and leading to a paperless environment. Gerasimos, is co-founder of the CRITIS MEDICAL SYNERGY, a University of Crete spinoff company, aiming to modernize the critical care environment and to make interaction of healthcare professionals with new technologies more friendly, efficient, and effective.

George Loudos is an Assistant Professor at University of West Attica and co-founder and CEO of BIOMETECH. He has participated as a coordinator or partner in more than 20 EU projects, has published >130 articles in international journals and has >250 publications in conference proceedings. He is the co-inventor of the “eyes” desktop imaging systems and the “fillable mouse and rat phantom”. He has been organizer of many international conferences, workshops and training schools. His research interests are focused on developing Molecular Imaging tools for fast, efficient and ethical early drug screening.

Andreas Raptopoulos (Dipl. Ing. MSc, MBA) received his diploma in Computer and Informatics Engineering from the University of Patras in 2005, his MSc in Computer and Telecommunications Networks from University of Athens in 2009 and his MBA from Athens Laboratory of Business Administration (ALBA) in December 2012. He works for more than 15 years as a research consultant and innovation manager in the private sector. He has been actively involved, technically contributed in and coordinated more than 20 research and innovation projects mainly in the ICT for Health field. He co-founded WELLICS in 2016 and currently holds the position of the CEO. Since 2014, he also works as an independent evaluator for the European Commission, as well as an external advisor to start-ups and new businesses.

Haris Tsirmpas is the co-founder and CTO of Sentio Solutions, a venture-backed startup based in SF developing digital biomarkers and therapeutics to change the way we diagnose, manage, and care for Mental Health. He leads product development, R&D, engineering, and clinical evidence. His PhD in Biomedical engineering focused on the Internet of Things in healthcare applications, and his research interests include areas such as data correlation, fusion in context-aware environments, and machine learning over heterogeneous data. Over the past 6 years, Haris has authored over 27 publications in international conferences and journals in the field of biomedical engineering.

The HSYP (Hellenic Students and Young Professionals) Congress is a congress that takes place every two years in Greece, Cyprus, Malta, or Israel and refers to students, young graduate engineers, and members of the IEEE.

It includes talks and discussions and aims at the exchange of ideas and experiences between the participants, the conclusion of collaborations, the appropriate training, and the supply of the members of the student branches for the organization of their local actions but also the information of the new engineers for the needs of the labor market. The congress will be organized for the sixth time online in November 2021, by the IEEE Greece Section.

The 6th HSYP will be held Virtually, on 20th and 21st November 2021!

The Organizing Committee has already started working –very cheerfully- in order to ensure an unforgettable experience for the participants.

Innovation for Health Competition is an event in which people with diverse perspectives such as clinicians, engineers, designers, software developers, business people, and patients come together in an intense, fun-filled, three-day weekend to develop and build solutions that could address challenges facing healthcare today. Participants will form teams, collaborate within a limited time frame, and focus on a specific problem or idea in healthcare to come up with innovative ideas and solutions. The organizing committee of the three-day event, “Innovation for Health”, intends to promote the innovative ideas of young people in the field of biomedical Technology. Specifically, the participants will be divided into groups and will be undertaken by a clinical need which they will be able to solve from the first day of the conference, Friday 12/11 at 9:00 am. until Sunday 14/11 at 12:00 p.m. Meanwhile, they will work with teachers, counselors, and mentors to find an innovative solution and create a business plan around it. The groups in general and each member individually will receive guidance and advice throughout the conference. At the end of the competition, the teams will present their solutions in 15 minutes, in English, to the competent committee. The teams will be evaluated based on the evaluation criteria that the judges have set and also the topics of the competitions are up to them. Not only the evaluation criteria but also the topics will be released the first day of the competition Friday 12/11. The teams that will be announced 1st and 2nd in the competition will win a cash prize to support their creative idea. The two winning teams (first and second) will win a cash prize in order to support them and their creative idea. At the same time, the two best teams will be chosen with their presentations recorded and will be sent to regional level to global evaluators, industry experts and IEEE Region 8 volunteers. Among all these team presentations, many amazing teams will be chosen by IEEE Region 8 for the next part of the competition, the guidance phase, where the teams will be guided to the search for funds and successful purchase. The guidance phase will be held at the beginning of the new year and the finals will be carried out in a high-level international IEEE event, such as the IEEE Region 8 Student and Young Professionals congress or the Rising Stars congress and possibly apart from IEEE the Web Summit or Wolves Summit. Finally, we intend to emphasize the most important chance that IEEE is giving to start-ups: to be a global network of technology experts now complemented by the perception of available business experts.

The IEEE Young Professionals Greece and the IEEE Greece Section have launched a Mentoring Activity in order to support young engineers at their first professional steps. The Mentors will share their experience and provide guidance in achieving specific professional goals, improving skills and enhancing career development.

If you are a graduate student (or a senior student) or young professional and need guidance from a Mentor, you are invited to fill in the below form. Note that only IEEE members are eligible to participate as Mentees to the program.
