Descripción del proyecto
Nueva tecnología ponible para la mente y el cuerpo
Hoy en día, millones de personas tienen un reloj inteligente que no solo da la hora y lee mensajes, sino que también controla las calorías, los pasos y el sueño. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto financiado con fondos europeos BEWELL desarrollará un parche cutáneo inteligente y un dispositivo electrónico ponible para la muñeca. El parche cutáneo ayudará a realizar una detección fiable durante los diferentes niveles de actividad. En el proyecto se han identificado los futuros productos de parche cutáneo, importantes desde el punto de vista comercial, que debían demostrarse. También se ha identificado un conjunto de tecnologías fundamentales y versátiles que deben desarrollarse para lograr una fabricación escalable e integrarse para materializar estos futuros productos. En concreto, el equipo del proyecto desarrollará un parche cutáneo que detecte el bienestar emocional (para vigilar el estrés y el equilibrio mental) y una pulsera para hacer un seguimiento del ritmo cardíaco, especialmente al practicar deporte.
Objetivo
BEWELL project is about developing integration and manufacturing technologies needed for smart skin patch and wrist-device wearable electronics sensing and actuating products. BEWELL project is also about demonstrating three different application use cases.
Wearable electronics belongs to new age consumer electronics together with smartphones, gaming consoles and laptop/tablet computers. Key development focuses of the new devices are better human-machine interfaces, improved connectivity, user-friendly form factors and convenience of use. Internet of things, connected living, quantified self and smart homes are identified as the driving trends of this evolution among which especially the quantified self is clearly driving the wearable electronics. Inside wearable electronics, wrist-worn devices have been the largest segment but body-worn and head-worn devices are expected to grow to similar sized segments.
Intimate skin contact is necessary for reliable sensing and actuation based on sensor results during different levels of activity of the users. Controllable skin contact would be a further improvement in sensing applications. The purpose can be to replace or supplement visual messaging. Therefore, skin patches and associated technologies to enhance the user-device interface also in other types of products such as the wrist-worn ones are of special importance. In BEWELL, we have identified commercially relevant future skin-patch products to be demonstrated. We have also identified a set of critical and versatile technologies that need to be developed for scalable manufacturing and integrated to realize these future products. In particular, the BEWELL project aims to unleash the potential of flexible and wearable electronics for physical and emotional wellbeing by advanced integrated technology components made in Europe.
