Project description DEENESFRITPL Digital sweat analysis for health monitoring at home Self-management of health is an attractive option for chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiac and respiratory diseases, or for monitoring senior citizens at home. The EU-funded ONALABS project has developed a non-invasive wearable monitoring device that combines multiple microsensors for the continuous, simultaneous monitoring of physical (i.e. heart rate, oxygen saturation, skin temperature) and biochemical (i.e. lactate, glucose levels) parameters. The innovation lies in the fact that sweat instead of blood is used to measure these parameters. The wearable has a friendly interface and connects to mobile devices for data processing. The information is communicated to the hospital, offering physicians an almost real-time update on the health status of patients of any age, from the neonate to the elderly. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Onalabs Healthcare was born as an ambitious project, technical and emotional focused in premature births where the patient is affected with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). These patients need 24hour Intensive care monitoring for a period of at least 10 days where 25% of their total blood is extracted to measure 4 biomarkers (Lactate, pH, CO2 and Glucose). This generates pain and a high risk of vain damage as well as potential death due to infections. Moreover, Heart and lung system problems are the first and fourth cause of death, respectively in Occidental territories, with more than 20 million deaths recorded in 2012. The solution that is offered by Onalabs with its product ‘Cardiopatch’ that addresses a potential market of 872M users. Our product does not rely on the extraction of blood to measure the 4 key parameters. We measure indirectly through a proven system of sweat analysis. This will allow us to also access the sport market and an additional 350M users in the sector of this that we target.Targetting health care and sport, with a novel disruptive sensor we expect to drive a new market providing solutions providing high impact for society whilst growing to generate profits of 3.4M euros and employ 40 people by 2022 Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencesinternetinternet of thingsmedical and health sciencesclinical medicinecardiologypaediatric cardiologyengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringsensorsnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdata sciencedata processingengineering and technologymedical engineeringwearable medical technology Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.1. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Health, demographic change and well-being Main Programme H2020-EU.3.1.4. - Active ageing and self-management of health H2020-EU.2.1.1. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) H2020-EU.2.3.1. - Mainstreaming SME support, especially through a dedicated instrument H2020-EU.3.1.6. - Health care provision and integrated care Topic(s) SMEInst-06-2016-2017 - Accelerating market introduction of ICT solutions for Health, Well-Being and Ageing Well Call for proposal H2020-SMEInst-2016-2017 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-SMEINST-1-2016-2017 Funding Scheme SME-1 - SME instrument phase 1 Coordinator ONALABS INNO-HUB SL Net EU contribution € 50 000,00 Address Av. parc tecnologic del valles 3 08290 Barcelona Spain See on map Region Este Cataluña Barcelona Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 21 429,00
