x-heep – designing healthcare devices of the future
The advancement of continuous healthcare monitoring depends on the development of new and more efficient ultra-low power wearable platforms as well as new algorithms. However, the teams that develop the algorithms are usually not the same as those that design the platforms, thus, optimization opportunities are often lost in the way. Not less importantly, the (…)
epiPhone – discretely monitoring brain activity
We are proud to present epiPhone, a discreet headset which can monitor brain activity and transmit the data in real time. Today, epilepsy is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting more than 65 million people worldwide. However, no reliable wearable device currently exists for real-time epileptic seizure detection. One of the main challenges (…)
