Biomorphic Personnel Health Monitoring

Project: Research

Description

The holy grail of personalised health care is to be able to continuously monitor someone’s health and respond effectively with early interventions, thus mitigating the effects of injury or preventing the development of chronic conditions. This requires the development of non-invasive, robust biomedical sensors supported by a robust communications and data analytical system. This health care monitoring system can benefit everyone, especially those who need special care and those in dangerous situations where help may be limited. Academics will develop wearable biomedical sensors capable of monitoring key physiological parameters (lactate and ions in sweat, for instance) that together may indicate stress, dehydration, shock, etc. To ensure the trustworthiness of the data being used in decision-making, the sensors will be developed to incorporate biomorphic principles, that is the ability to monitor the performance/degradation of the sensor itself and adapt accordingly.
