Periodic Reporting for period 1 - ROVER (RELIABLE TECHNOLOGIES AND MODELS FOR VERIFIED WIRELESS BODY-CENTRIC TRANSMISSION AND LOCALIZATION)
Berichtszeitraum: 2020-01-01 bis 2023-08-31
The ROVER consortium is formed by a highly skilled multidisciplinary team of experts from eight countries seeking to develop novel solutions and procedures for international adaptation of complex non-invasive on-body and in-body wireless systems for healthcare devices. The cross-sectoral and multinational composition of the consortium enables a natural route from profound basic research to health-related applications facilitating the commercialization of wireless technology innovations for international markets. The ROVER team is capable of contributing to all levels of the Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) process of new end-to-end approaches. The system architecture that the team envisions as the ultimate outcome of the four-year project is increasingly seamless, dependable, energy-efficient and secure. Our team is also capable to take into account all the features coming from 5G health vertical roadmap due to the existing research activities we have. The system architecture to be developed relies on pivotal expertise in multidisciplinary areas of engineering, physics, medicine, computer science and product development. The end to end ROVER architecture described implements non-ionizing diagnostics and monitoring augmented by secure data transfer at all levels with medical involvement does not currently exist. Individual as well as pivotal collaborative research and innovations are required to create user-required backward compatible systems beyond state-of-the-art.
ROVER has six objectives:
Objective 1. Wireless in-, on- and off- body communications
Objective 2. Physical layer system design
Objective 3. Development of light security mechanisms
Objective 4. Novel molecular and nano-communications
Objective 5. Non-invasive healthcare monitoring
Objective 5. Non-invasive healthcare monitoring
This is the Periodic Report Number 1.

Project work via secondments delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions it caused. However, the work towards the deliverables describing, e.g. the ROVER architecture has been done before secondments started. ROVER website has launched (www.rover2020.eu) and the first public ROVER architecture webinar has kept.
Before suspension, only two two-weeks long secondments managed to be done (UOULU -> YNU, Jan 2020).
Secondments continued after the suspension time on March 2022.
LSBU secondees: Soumya Rana and Maitreyee Dey both performed .5 secondment times, but due to suspension time in ROVER their PhDs have now finished and they have left LSBU. New secondees will be added.

ROVER is an ambitious and focused international staff exchange action providing versatile personal and global career development possibilities for researchers and innovators at many career levels in the wireless medical ICT applications. Cooperative research and innovation will lead to empowered, self-aware, engaged and independent globally recognized researchers of the future, up-skilled experienced researchers, joint high-impact publications, presentations at international conferences, and experience of incorporating business development with innovation. Joint research activities are also a fruitful forum for innovations, which can produce IPRs and inputs to international standardization. The contribution and commitment to individual researcher development is high and the return on this investment is the meaningful personal and professional development of high calibre researchers and innovators.
