A major European project to develop Intelligent Medical Implants and Ambulatory Measurement equipment
In this project key microsystem technologies and communication methods are being developed that bring intelligence directly to the human, in the form of medical implants and ambulatory measurement systems. Information from these devices will be transmitted out into the wider environment. Medical applications have been chosen as there will be a direct positive impact into the health of EU citizens. In addition this multi-disciplined project will integrate and extend the existing State of the Art in microsystems, biomaterials, wireless communications and power sources.
This EU funded project was launched in December 2003. The project evolved from the‘Nexus Medical Devices User Supplier Club’, and led to a 26 partner consortium from across the EU. The skills and expertise within the consortium is extensive, ranging from clinical teams who initiated the requirements, medical end user manufacturers, through to researchers in micro and nano technology, biomaterials, RF communications and power sources.
