More about the project

The objective of this project is to explore the potential applications of biosensors forthe continuous monitoring and management of various health conditions, including diabetes, heartdisease, and epilepsy. Our long-term vision is to develop an effective non-invasive health monitoringsystem that can be used as a data collection tool for clinical trials. This study aims to establish a biosensor testbed at the IoT Lab for use in future research projects.

The research in the seed project is part of the research conducted by the Smart Industry Group research team and the cutting-edge research centre Linnaeus University Centre for Data Intensive Sciences and Applications (DISA).

What is a seed project?

A seed project is a minor project funded by a knowledge environment or a research group at the university. The aim is to launch and promote excellent research. Depending on the financier, a seed project may be to idenfify new or deepen existing collaborations, preferably cross-disciplinary ones, to explore possible research issues in a feasibility study, to collect empirical material, or to write an application for external funding.
