WeCare about sweat
WeCare project: Cognitive-Multisensing Wearable Sweat Biomonitoring Technology for Real-Time Personalized Diagnosis and Preventive Health Care. Biomarkers in human sweat can contain useful information about the physiological state of a person. Currently, however, this information is rarely used. The WeCare project, that recently received a SNSF Sinergia grant, explores how biomarkers in sweat can be used to optimize physical exercise.
Alert system to improve the production of farmed fish
Researchers from the Instituto de Acuicultura Torre de la Sal (IATS-CSIC), the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM) and the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria have developed an intelligent system “AE-FishBIT” for monitoring the behaviour of breeding fishes. The device makes it possible to know the degree of well-being of farmed fish to improve the production.
Un nuevo parche para la piel facilita el diagnóstico de la fibrosis quística
Un equipo liderado por investigadores del Instituto de Microelectrónica de Barcelona (IMB-CNM) del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) ha desarrollado un nuevo dispositivo inteligente, basado en una batería de papel de ocho centímetros de largo por cuatro de ancho, que podría ser usado para facilitar el diagnóstico de la fibrosis quística, una patología hereditaria de las glándulas mucosas y sudoríparas. Los resultados de las pruebas con esta nueva batería aparecen publicados en la revista Microsystems & Nanoengineering.
The IMB-CNM will be present at the YoMo, a festival to promote technologies among young people
The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) will participate in the next edition of the "Youth Mobile Festival Barcelona" (YoMo), from February 26 to March 2, offering young people the opportunity to enter in a white room to make the chips that are on the mobile phones
