Health Sensors. Wearable technologies.
Better health.
Better health.
The ARC Research Hub for Connected Sensors for Health is a collaboration between universities and industry involved in cutting-ed research seeking to position Australia at the forefront of connected health by conducting research into biophysical and biochemical sensors, addressing energy solutions sources, and closing the loop on data analytics and privacy and data security for improved health outcomes.
Our goal is to co-design, verify, and certify sensor technology to transform health care in Australia by enabling new approaches to diagnosis, monitoring, predictive treatment and prevention of disease.
Sensing technologies involving the transmission of electric signals are currently limited in commercial utility by the durability and stability of existing technologies. In this Theme, Biophysical Sensors, we will focus on flexible and mechanical stretchable sensors that can be worn directly on the body or integrated into clothing.
Leading researchers from universities will collaborate with partner organisations to develop, design, and manufacture physical sensors for health management and support in hazardous environments.
