As a use-case scenario, we intend to demonstrate simultaneous monitoring
of up to 5 patients that can move for a distance of up to 5 meters from their bed.
In
summary,
the project can be divided into the following:
of a series of fully untethered BioStickers for EMG/ECG/EEG/GSR/temperature/motion/location monitoring based on state-of-the-art methods for fabrication of stretchable electronics circuits, using the patented ink formulation and fabrication method.
for sticker-smart bed connection for RF energy transmission to stickers, and data acquisition by the smart bed.
An IoT node that can be connected to the patient's bed at the hospital or at home. A smart box will be associated to each patient´s bed, thus constituting a smart bed.
of the acquired signals against gold standard measurements at the Coimbra Hospital and Universitary Centre (CHUC), to determine suitability of each patient for rigorous patient monitoring.
based on a poly(acrylamide) and poly (acrylic acid) hydrogels that have the following characteristics: biocompatible; preserves the high water content, gel-like mechanical properties; strong adhesion to the patient skin and a light triggered easy detachment.
for simultaneous wireless movement of up to 5 patients, with a distance of up to 5 meters from their bed
The consortium is composed of the complete R&D chain of a new commercial solution
Glintt is a technology and consultancy largescale company and is a leading IT and consulting company in the Healthcare area, whose solutions are used in more than 200 hospitals and clinics, and more than 14.000 Pharmacies. In WoW, Glintt will coordinate the project, being also responsible for system integration, and extending the existing Globalcare software solution to fit the objectives of the project. Moreover, Glintt will take the lead on project dissemination and exploitation
Coimbra Hospital and University Centre (CHUC) is the biggest Portuguese hospital having an integrated research, teaching and patient care approach. CHUC will act as endusers, leading the user requirement analysis activity, assisting the materials and safety tests, as well as the project trials. In addition, will also be responsible to evaluate the project trials, and provide recommendations and adjustments to the project activities according to the needs of the target users. CHUC will also play an important role in the dissemination of the project to the general public.
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is a global research university known for its world-class, interdisciplinary programs in arts, business, computing, engineering, humanities, policy and science. In WoW, CMU will be represented by the Soft Machines Lab at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, taking the lead of the BioSticker fabrication activity, and significantly contributing to the wireless BioSticker data and energy transmission, and leading the AI multi-sensor classification, as well as the scientific dissemination of the project.
The Institute Of Systems and Robotics from the University of Coimbra (ISR) is an R&D non-profit unit composed of a multidisciplinary research team performing outstanding research in embedded systems, intelligent sensing, wireless sensor networks and robotics. In WoW, ISR will focus on the development of wireless data and energy transmission activity for untethered BioStickers, and the conception of the smart bed IoT system. Moreover, ISR will organize the project trials and lead the technical management of the project.
University of Coimbra (UC) is the oldest Portuguese university and one of the oldest in the world. UC has extensive experience in research programs with competitive research funding in several areas including sciences, engineering, and health. UC will be responsible for innovative and safe conception of skin-patch adhesive materials, based on Hydrogels, and the cytotoxicity and skin compatibility of the proposed materials. UC will also contribute to the tests and validation of the BioStickers, the project trials, as well as scientific dissemination.
