Project Portugal 2020
Future human sensing systems will be multi-layered networks of sensor and actuator devices, ranging from the macro to the nano level. Ecosystems of interoperable tiny devices at these different layers will exchange data and commands seamlessly to make us more aware of our health, act earlier to potential disease signs and surely drive our society for a lower cost of healthcare. Furthermore, this envisioned paradigm will turn our society more prepared for the ageing population demographics that is already a certainty for the coming 50 years [3]. Nevertheless, there are two main challenges to be approached for this envisioned paradigm become a reality: 1) Evolve from today’s macro to tomorrow’s micro and nano human sensing technologies that will be key players in the coming revolution that will occur in the health and wellbeing industry. 2) Tackle the tons of information all these wearable and implanted sensors will generate, integrating it with data from other sources, such as medical

We are at the verge of major revolution in the way our health and well-being is managed since aseptic surgery became widely available 100y ago. This revolution will be made through large-scale integration human sensing technologies, going from today’s macro to tomorrow’s micro and nano devices. This project will address both the macro-to-nano sensing and the BIG data challenges of the next revolution in the health and wellbeing industry.
