Health tracker : Development of a non-invasive, portable Health Tracker with which the physical load of the user can be monitored easily, faster and reliably. The Health Tracker, which consists of breathing and metabolism analysis combined with ECG and motion sensors, is the only one that can measure whether a certain activity is too stressful for an employee or patient without breathing resistance and restriction of freedom of movement. This ensures improved user-friendliness and increased measurement accuracy. In this project, the current prototype (TRL4) will be further developed into a successful product (TRL7) with the aim of market introduction.

Smart hip implant: Despite the innovations in implant technology, failure of the implant is still causing major issues. The cause and moment of failure of the implant are hard to determine because of the limited information available. Therefore, we are designing, developing and validating the next generation of smart implants for the musculoskeletal system. This intelligent implant equipped with sensors can monitor the hip implant and the body’s reactions during daily life activities and more information could be gathered about the state of the implant over time.
