European Doctoral Network for Resilient Remote Healthcare using Intelligent Sensing and Communication Technologies
Coordinated by Prof. Yang Miao, the SMARTTEST project brings together world leading experts from Enschede, Leuven, Milano, Roma, Utrecht, Ostrava Poruba and Padova.
Remote health monitoring (and/or self-monitoring) is essential for the timely and optimal disease management. SMARTTEST is a timely and innovative project with a selected inter-disciplinary team of 9 academic partners, 8 companies, 1 state inspectorate, 1 hospital and 1 healthcare service organisation with the goal of training a future generation of engineers that are capable of bridging advanced wireless technologies and radio signal processing, biomedical signal analytics and health monitoring to maximize the effectiveness of personalized healthcare. These inter-disciplinary engineers will develop a holistic view on the design and development of integrated sensing and communication devices as well as algorithms for contact-free, continuous and proactive remote health monitoring, with profound knowledge on biomedical domain and social practices.
The SMARTTEST research programme is designed on two backbone principles: (1) it must address the challenges of the personalized health monitoring paradigm, being contact-free and proactive and able to perform early alarm of disease complication, health restoration monitoring and chronic disease prevention; (2) it must address the challenges of the core enabling technology - integrating intelligent human sensing into communication networks.
