LONDON — IMEC (Leuven, Belgium) and i.Know NV (Diepenbeek, Belgium) have proven technology that provides real-time relevant medical data extraction. Work done at the Holst Centre (Eindhoven, Netherlnds) has enabled IMEC to broaden the functionality and scope of its wireless health monitoring technology by linking it to i.Know's 'knowledge streaming' concept. Knowledge streaming encompasses the combination of extracting relevant data from abstract signals, assigning an objective interpretation to it and distributing it when necessary, all of this at real time on an incoming signal. Availability and interpretation of personal medical data is playing an increasingly crucial role. Within its Human++ research program at Holst Centre, IMEC already focuses on building blocks for miniaturized wireless sensor nodes allowing...
