Project description
Sensor-based personalised health monitoring
Research in decentralised personal health monitoring (DPHM) focuses on long-term monitoring, reducing motion artifacts, and multimodal monitoring. The EU-funded PERSIMMON project will develop personalised biodegradable smart sensor patches using low-cost additive manufacturing. It will introduce new sensor materials, AI technology, and digital surface mount technology. These patches will be used for advanced DPHM, cloud-based AI sensor fusion for monitoring blood pressure and body temperature, and edge-AI to reduce motion artifacts and power consumption. Over 48 months, the project will demonstrate remote DPHM in ski mountaineering and swimming use cases, continuously monitor chronically ill patients, establish a production line for additive manufacturing of printed wiring boards, and develop a 5G gateway for body-worn IoT.
Objective
Today, the main research trends in decentralized personal health monitoring (PDHM) are on monitoring at longer periods, reducing motion artefacts, and multimodal monitoring. PERSIMMON will push the state-of-the-art by providing personalized and biodegradable multimodal smart sensor patches based on low-cost additive manufacturing. The innovations introduced by PERSIMMON rely on new sensor materials, AI, and digital surface mount technology (SMT). The developed patches will be used in multinodal networks with multimodal nodes on the skin for advanced DPHM, with improved sustainability and circularity. Cloud-based AI sensor fusion will be used for blood pressure and body temperature monitoring, and edge-AI for reducing motion artefacts, selecting good signal conditions, and reduce power consumption at the smart patch. In addition, PERSIMMON will develop new sensor materials for biodegradability, sensor electrodes, and nano-MOS embedded in semi-permeable materials (that will allow gas sensors on the skin with both extended lifetime in multiuse modules and at extreme low cost in disposables). Within 48 months and with the involvement of 13 partners from six countries, PERSIMMON will demonstrate remote DPHM in sport use cases of ski mountaineering and swimming, and in continuous remote monitoring of chronically ill patients in their everyday lives. A production line for additive manufacturing of soft and compliant printed wiring boards based on digital SMT manufacturing, and a 5G gateway for body worn IoT will be demonstrated and made as business cases. The used water-soluble biopolymers and liquid metal interconnects and contacts remove microplastics waste and allow for reuse of clean components and recycled metal without high-temperature or toxic processing. Life cycle analysis, societal uptake, acceptance, and compliance to a circular economy are indeed at the methodological basis of the design and development of new devices and of the appliance tests in PERSIMMON.
