Dr. Bondin then went on to discuss how, during the next few months, the ITAMA_CAP project will be screening students aged 12-18 across schools in Malta, and adults in Sicily, for this disease via non-invasive techniques, which will enable medical professionals to provide the appropriate care at the appropriate stages for those who test positive for coeliac disease.

ITAMA Questionnaires

Dear readers, it’s time to make your voices heard!

ITAMA is ongoing with the last few tests in Malta and Sicily while data is being compiled and statistics worked out. At this point we would like to hear your opinion about the project and the possible ways forward. For this reason, we are kindly asking you to give us feedback through in a short survey as follows:

If you are a medical/healthcare professional, please click here;

Business Opportunities for the Medtech and Foodtech sector

The #ITAMA project has successfully created a solution combining web based applications, Artificial Intelligence and testing kits to screen populations for coeliac disease.
After running more than 18,000 tests, the consortium is now reaching out to the wider business community to take such results to market.
We are looking for companies in the software, testing kits and #glutenfree food production industries from different regions of Europe that want to replicate our project, learn from our experience and run this as an opportunity.
