INNO4HEALTH-Stimulate Continuous Monitoring in personal and physical health

INNO4HEALTH aims to stimulate innovation in the continuous monitoring of the clinical and physical condition and to face challenges in the fields of health and sport. In health, continuous monitoring of clinical and physical condition will provide information to patients and their healthcare professionals about the readiness associated with surgery and the ability to recover quickly after invasive treatment. In sports, the same technology will be used to continuously assess physical and health conditions to provide information to athletes and their coaches and to help them optimize their performance.

INNO4HEALTH will create an innovative design for wearable sensors (in shoe soles, shirts, plasters) that meets the usability needs of patients and athletes. Wearable products (commercially available or research prototypes) will be included in an ecosystem of devices to provide data acquisition for health and sports use cases. Artificial intelligence technologies will be used for the first time to develop algorithms for assessing the performance and physical condition of patients and athletes. Finally, dashboards and professional applications will be created to generate information for plans to improve health and fitness.

The Portuguese use case focuses exclusively on the health field, more specifically on vascular diseases. Due to their severity, they involve frequent monitoring by the doctor and, often, regular hospitalizations, causing an impact on costs not only for the NHS but also for patients.

INNO4HEALTH is composed of industry leaders in the fields of health and sports (Philips and Polar), an industry leader in security and privacy (Thales DIS / Gemalto), and several SMEs, academic, clinical, and sports partners. The Portuguese consortium is made up of Wiseware, the Higher Engineering Institute of Porto, and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto.
