The consortium covers 25 organisations in 6 European countries, like the Netherlands, Canada, Portugal, Finland and Spain.
Wearable health monitoring systems provide a big promise of allowing individuals to closely monitor changes in their vital signs and provide feedback to regain or maintain an optimal health status. The RM4Health project will accelerate innovation in electronic wearable devices. RM4HEALTH will focus on the development of open technology platforms for vital sign monitoring for these emerging fields to help them bridge ‘the Valley of Death’ in a shorter time and at a lower cost. RM4HEALTH aims to stimulate innovation in continuous monitoring in healthcare and sports.
