Business Imec teams with hospital to develop health monitoring technologies
2013/11/25Imec, Holst Centre and the Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg (ZOL) hospital are to accelerate the development of wearable sensor technologies for remote healthcare and personal health applications.
Real-time, wearable remote healthcare monitoring could revolutionize the treatment of chronic illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes. Diagnosed patients wouldn’t need to visit the hospital as often or for as long, while healthy people in high risk groups could benefit from an unobtrusive system that provides early warning of a condition developing.
The partnership aims to speed up the development of such systems. Clinicians from ZOL and the Mobile Health Unit (a joint initiative between ZOL and Hasselt University) will test Holst Centre and imec’s wearable remote monitoring technologies on real patients in real clinical settings.
The partners will share clinical and technical insights to identify ways in which wearable remote monitoring technology can better address unmet healthcare needs. This will lead to improvements to existing solutions and the development of new applications. The long-term nature of the partnership will also allow a more exploratory aspect to the joint research, to address clinical needs that may emerge in the future.
“Combining clinical insight and technical know-how is essential for the timely development of remote monitoring systems. But partnerships between hospitals and technology developers are rare as it is hard for partners to find each other,” says Lars Grieten, project coordinator at ZOL.
The partnership has presented a small pilot study on the use of wearable sensors to detect sleep apnea.
