For most of us, it&#039;s part of our daily routine. But medical grade wearables, wearable devices that comply with European regulations for medical equipment, are capable of much more. For example, it is possible to measure ultrasound images or blood pressure in real time via a &#039;patch&#039; on the skin. The potential of wearables is enormous, but this also brings challenges. \u201cWe can only solve these by working together integrally within an ecosystem of companies, institutes and hospitals with complementary areas of expertise,\u201d says program manager Dr. Natallia Uzunbajakava of TNO Holst Center. Uzunbajakava will give a <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/medischeelektronica\/programma-2023\/next-generation-wearables-for-remote-monitoring-of-vital-signs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>plenary talk<\/strong><\/a><strong> at the Medical Electronics Event on Feb. 7, 2023, in Leusden.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Uzunbajakava: \u201cDuring my presentation, I want to provide insight into the benefits and challenges of medical grade wearable devices. These are devices that accurately and precisely read medical grade data and also comply with strict regulations of the FDA and the MDR. This allows nurses and doctors to see real-time information without the patient having to come to the hospital or treatment center.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>Uzunbajakava cites an ultrasound measurement as an example. \u201cCurrently, an ultrasound can only be performed by an experienced medical specialist in this field. The ultrasound machine is large and unwieldy and it only measures a limited area of the body. To obtain an overall view of the desired area, the specialist should move the device.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Wafer-thin ultrasound patch<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/app\/uploads\/filemanager\/391\/1674549544_vital signs patch 2022.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\" \/>\u00a0\u201cAt TNO, we are currently working on a wafer-thin ultrasound &#039;patch&#039; that resembles a large plaster.  A physician can easily apply the patch to the skin of the patient,\u201d Uzunbajakava continued. \u201cUsing ultrasound electronics, the patch performs the same measurements as a device in the hospital, only for a larger area, without the need for a physician to be continuously present with the patient. The patch is on the skin 24 hours a day and a specialist can view the data at any time while the patient is at home. For example, it is possible to monitor an embryo during pregnancy, or to keep track of the urine level in the bladder.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Vital signs patch<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0TNO is also working on a vital signs patch that will give users insight into the status of their health and well-being. This way, they can monitor their heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing pattern, blood pressure, SpO2 and core body temperature. In addition, the vital signs patch allows the user to see if he or she is at an increased risk of health problems and whether lifestyle adjustments are necessary to prevent problems.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Efficient and comfortable<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/app\/uploads\/filemanager\/391\/1674549582_photonics device.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" \/>\u201cWearables originated from the need of patients as well as practitioners to collect medical data more efficiently outside the hospital environment. The need for wearable devices is rising due to an aging population and the increase in chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and mental health problems. These chronic diseases are responsible for about 70% of deaths worldwide, including The Netherlands. Something has to be done to get this percentage down, because with an aging population, healthcare costs will only increase. The average person does not spend even half of their life in good health,\u201d says Uzunbajakava.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Lifestyle intervention<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cPrevention is always best: awareness and prevention through programs aimed at measuring health and well-being, coupled with lifestyle intervention. But proper early diagnosis and therapy or treatment can also prevent bigger problems.\u201d Measuring health data through medical grade wearables plays a central role in this, according to Uzunbajakava. \u201cIf people see for themselves what effect their lifestyle has on their heart rate and blood pressure, for example, they are more willing to make lifestyle changes. Medical grade wearables measure precisely and are relatively easy to apply. Of course, we also run into challenges. Technically, it is important that the sensors measure accurately and also that the data is generated in real time as well as long term. This is only possible if the wearable does not automatically come off during exercise or in the shower. In addition, wearing comfort for the patient is very important, because the wearable is permanently on the skin and the patient does not want to be bothered by this.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Modular sensors<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>The research team at TNO Holst Center works in a modular way. \u201cDifferent patient groups need different read-outs (signals),\u201d Uzunbajakava explains. \u201cDevelopments within the sector are rapid and new and better electronics and materials are becoming available all the time. We want to take advantage of that. As better innovations come to market, we want to integrate them into existing wearable platforms as quickly as possible. That&#039;s why our technology platforms are flexible and easy to adapt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Bring in own expertise<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/app\/uploads\/filemanager\/391\/1674549672_shutterstock_1466177768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\" \/>Teamwork and integral collaboration are necessary to ensure wearable quality, Uzunbajakava explains. \u201cWe develop the various modules of a wearable in-house, but we do not do this alone. TNO Holst Center&#039;s expertise in hybrid printed electronics and cleanroom manufacturing (a very clean working environment, ed.) makes it possible to integrate flexible and rigid sensors and components into wearable devices. Furthermore, TNO is working with external partners, each contributing their own expertise\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<p>Uzunbajakava: \u201cWe collaborate with research institutions, laboratories, hospitals, universities, foundations and companies here in The Netherlands such as, for example, Philips, LifeSense group, Bambi Medical, Holland HighTech, and Erasmus MC. We also have partners in Europe, the US, Asia, and the pacific region, such as Lohmann, DuPont, EmpoHealth and Shin Etsu. We call the whole chain, from idea to final product, the ecosystem of a product. TNO is particularly involved in the first phase of the ecosystem; from the idea to a working prototype and pre-clinical trial.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Don&#039;t miss the boat\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>After the wearable is approved by the MDR, it can finally be introduced to the European market. In her lecture, Uzunbajakava aims to demonstrate the importance of collaboration for the development and research of wearables. \u201cWearables will become more and more important in the future. In order to develop a good product, the right expertise must be brought together, which is why we at TNO try to connect parties. I hope that at the end of the lecture, visitors to the event will see how widely applicable wearables are, both to prevent and treat a disease, and that it is more than worth investing in these devices of the future.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Visit presentation<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/medischeelektronica\/programma-2023\/next-generation-wearables-for-remote-monitoring-of-vital-signs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uzunbajakava&#039;s presentation<\/a> during the Medical Electronics Event on Feb. 7 in Leusden.
