Topsector HTSM project for Roossien and Kottapalli: Pioneering Wearable Sensor Technologies
We are happy to announce that our colleagues Charissa Roossien and Ajay Kottapalli were granted their project AWARE -Advanced Wearables for Automated Remote Monitoring of Emotional Health, Bruxism, and Facial Palsy.
There is a growing demand for flexible, ultra-sensitive wearable sensors for disease prognosis, monitoring, rehabilitation and personalized health monitoring applications. These can provide valuable information on health and well-being. There are many potential applications such as early diagnosis, prognosis of disease and/or decline in functional capacity and monitoring the effects of interventions such as medication, lifestyle risk factors, exercise. In this project, Roosien and Kottapalli propose advanced transparent and degradable wearable tattoo patch sensor technologies, produced by advanced aerosol jet printing. They address two specific societal challenges; 1) emotional health (stress) monitoring using sweat/cortisol detection and 2) bruxism and facial paralysis monitoring using muscle activity detection.
With a total budget of €436,145, the researchers will receive €280,000 TKI subsidy via the topsector HTSM (programme Medical Technology) to fund a postdoc.
