and Lifestyle Applications

The project is funded by the ERA-NET- a H2020 instrument:

¤ About project

The wearable sensor platform proposed in CONVERGENCE is centred on energy efficient wearable proof-of-concepts at system level exploiting data analytics developed in a context driven approach (in contrast with more traditional research where the device level research and the data analytics are carried out on separate path, rarely converging).

Here we choose realistic wearable form factors for our energy efficient systems such as wrist-based and patch-based devices. Their advancements, as autonomous systems is foreseen in CONVERGENCE to offer unique solutions for new generations of frictionless (non-invasive) quasi-continuous healthcare and environmental monitoring, and for forthcoming smart apparel with embedded autonomous sensing.
