Project description

Project leader: Matti Hämäläinen

Co-leader: Jari Hannu

This project focuses on developing a seamless and stretchable wearable device for human vital sign measurements. Novel sensing methods allow accurate results and thus, can produce data for better diagnostics. End-user’s willingness to carry seamless devices is much higher than the bulky ones. By adopting and further developing novel ETSI SmartBAN standard for low-power wireless body area network connectivity enables real-time data streams between several wearable devices. Optimized communications and sensing allow lower power consumption, long-lasting battery life and more reliable operations. The research will be carried out at the Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, University of Oulu, Finland by Centre for Wireless Communications – Networks and Systems (CWC) and Microelectronics (MIC) groups.
