CONVERGENCE

Frictionless Energy Efficient Convergent Wearables for Healthcare
and Lifestyle Applications

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

¤ Objectives

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).

Wearable hardware - Development and demonstration of frictionless, energy efficient sensing systems with convergent vital, bio and environmental sensing in systems having wearable form factors.
Wearable software -Signal processing and algorithms combining on-body data with environmental data for monitoring and for feedback, including behavioral change
Wearable applications and strategies - Monitoring, early risk and risk stratification for applications protocols and prevention.
