Medical Reliable Cardiovascular Health Monitoring Using New Wearable Technology

Current wearable sensor technologies provide limited and less reliable health parameters based mainly on heart rate measurement. Any reliable cardiovascular health assessment requires blood pressure measurements. Many attempts had been made to provide blood pressure measurements using commercially available wearable sensors like in smart watches. However, all attempts failed in measuring blood pressure as required by medical standards. On the other hand, FDA cleared Cardiex\AtCor medical technology became the ‘gold standard’ in measuring non-invasively heart and arterial pressure parameters reflecting cardiac and arterial health.
The challenge is to adapt such medical technology into the wearable sensor devices. This involves examining different and new sensors. It also involve new methods of sensor signals based on cardiovascular physiology to extract clinically significant central arterial pressure parameters. This presentation will review current health wearable technologies, challenges in providing reliable cardiovascular health assessment, and Cardiex current development of medical wearable devices to provide clinical heart and arterial health assessments.

Smart Insoles for Clinical Research : a Problem-Solving Approach to Deliver Value with Continuous Mobility Assessment

Bringing a drug to market is long and difficult. Studies estimate that the clinical trial process lasts 9 years and costs $1.3B on average. Clinical trials are conducted in multiple phases, with cost and complexity increasing from Phase I to Phase III. Despite the time and capital invested in trials, only 1 in 10 drugs that enter Phase I of a clinical trial will be approved by the FDA.
There is Large medical need to evaluate to treat the physical deterioration of physical status. A growing number of patients with mobility impairments lacks accurate tools to diagnose, monitor expensive evolutive diseases and intervene efficiently.

Gait is the simplest and most actionable biomarker to monitor multiple diseases but vastly underutilized as a biomarker or outcome measure because gait analysis is often not high quality when assessed in the clinic.Clinical gait tests, today, are used to identify mobility disorders, measure the efficacy of a therapeutic treatment. This is done in a controlled setting at sites. However, the technologies or design used present strong limitations. Episodic assessments, sometimes observational, don't generate sufficient sensitive data to demonstrate subtle changes.

The FeetMe solution allows the collection of validated gait data at site with the Insoles, and in the same accurate way in the patients daily life allowing continuous recording of gait data.

Ubiquitous Brain Computer Interfaces Based on Ear EEG Electrodes

Brain computer interface (BCI) designs have traditionally focused on the use of electrodes located on the scalp of a person to measure their brain activity using Electroencephalography (EEG) brain imaging techniques. Scalp EEG traditionally utilized metal electrodes placed over the scalp with conductive gel between the electrode and the skin to improve electrical contact. Dry contact electrodes were then developed to make the process more user-friendly and to reduce the time to setup EEG systems before conducting experiments. This made EEG more accessible outside of research and medical laboratories and led to the release of BCI products onto the consumer market. Despite the recent advances in invasive BCI’s based on implants, dry electrode EEG offers a greater ability to develop EEG products for daily use. One of the most important product challenges to over-come is the design of BCI’s which fit into existing societal trends. Scalp-focused BCI designs are difficult to scale beyond niche user communities since they represent another device for users to integrate into their lives. Ear EEG offers a way to design BCI products that integrate into users’ lives similar to the way that earbuds have seen wide adoption across different cultures and markets throughout the world.
IDUN Technologies has developed electrodes for biopotential measurements since 2017. The IDUN Guardian Development Kit BCI relies on ear EEG electrodes in an earbud form-factor to facilitate the research of ear EEG for applications from sleep and wellness to acoustic attention. The IDUN ear EEG electrodes are based on a conductive polymer formed into traditional earbud shapes. The combination of electrical conductivity and mechanical deformability allow the electrodes to provide secure contact to the surface of the ear canal resulting in good signal quality for EEG measurements. Performance of the system has been evaluated with electrical impedance as well as EEG paradigm measurements. The mean in-ear skin-contact impedances of the ear electrodes tested in humans at 10 Hz ranged from 11 kΩ to 190 kΩ with a mean of 75 kΩ for cleaned and of 110 kΩ for uncleaned ears. EEG paradigm validation has been conducted included Acoustic Steady State Response (ASSR), Alpha excitation and sleep features includes slow waves and spindles.

R2R Printed Sensors Enabling Automated Stock Replenishment. (Joint Talk)

Printed electronics is a promising emerging technology for various applications in wearables, medtech, automotive and logistics. However, even though the possibility to print sensors and sensor systems is well know for more than a decade, products based on printed components only slowly find their way into mass market. One main hurdle is a reliable high-volume production and the possibility of a smooth transition from prototyping over upscaling to industrial production.
With its shareholders SAP, BASF and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, InnovationLab is able to bridge this gap and to provide a One-Stop Shop for Printed Electronics while even going beyond hard- and software production by providing AI and IoT services as well. In this talk, the Lab-2-Fab concept is explained and several examples for printed electronic applications will be highlighted.

One of the applications is an automated stock replenishment system based on printed pressure sensor foils. The case study is an IoT solution developed by Trelleborg Sealing Solutions for their customers.
