Development of local devices for telemedicine services in remote areas of Ecuador

In Ecuador, healthcare services and infrastructure in the form of fully equipped and staffed hospitals and clinics tend to be concentrated in large cities and are largely unavailable in marginalized remote and rural areas. Telemedicine has been used ...

TETRA Project RUSTiec

The overall goal of this project is to expose the benefits and gaps of the Rust programming language and to work with Investigate the guidance group where Rust can fit into existing or new software stacks. The focus here is on Internet of Things (IoT...

Trusted IoT - Trusted Computing Architectures for IoT Devices

The security of IoT (Internet of Things) is done at different levels, ranging from hardware over software to network communication. The Trusted-IoT project will mainly focus on security at the hardware level. Existing and new techniques for hardware-...

Kinematic Assessment of Real-time Motion Acquisition of the Human Musculoskeletal System by Dynamic 4D Transversal Imaging (KARMA-4Dplus)

The aim of this IRP theme is to develop a system for the non-invasive, in-vivo, intra-articular
kinematic assessment of human skeletal structures and soft tissues in real-time movement. We want to achieve this by combining dynamic 4D CT scanning w...

GEAR: “Venturing into Future Health Technologies”

Venturing into future health technologies is the focused thematic of the Gear consortium Tech4Health comprises team members of two departments: departments of Electronics and Informatics (ETRO) and Industrial Engineering (INDI) of the faculty of Engi...

Prolonged transcranial alternating current stimulation leveraging new stimulation paradigms and set-ups as a treatment to promote remyelination in cuprizone treated mice.

The (human) brain has a remarkable innate capacity to self-repair when demyelination occurs. This endogenous mechanism, however, fails in diseases like multiple sclerosis leading to reduced intracortical communication and cognitive disabilities. Curr...

A novel radar-based sensor for non-invasive intra-abdominal pressure monitoring: from design towards clinical testing

Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is the steady-state pressure inside brthe abdominal compartment. Based on literature, approximately more brthan half of the critically ill patients develop intra-abdominal brhypertension (IAH) within their stay in the i...

Seahorse platform(B): the Agilent Seahorse Flux Analyser with integrated normalization system

A cell has two main engines (metabolic pathways) to generate energy, i.e. the glycolytic pathway and the mitochondrial respiration. Depending on the available fuel (carbohydrates, proteins or lipids) these engines will operate at different power to e...

Unified Sparse Representation for Plenoptic Modalities (UniMode)

There is a significant growth of interest in adopting advanced contentbrrepresentations allowing for higher resolution, richer portrayals of thebrreal world. Currently deployed modalities aim at offering richerbrexperiences: point clouds are providin...

RAINBOW Optimized prediction and decision support for rain erosion and lightning-driven degradation of blades

This project aims to gain insight into the factors that lead to degradation of the turbine blades ofbroffshore wind farms, in particular the erosion of the attack edge, which is related to the material fatigue by impact ofbrprecipitation and lightnin...

TBM: Ivision2 - Game Based Therapy

Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) is the most common cause of visual disability in developed countries (one to two cases per 1000 live births). A person with CVI usually has normal eye function but processing visual information in the brain is hindere...
