Sensor Based Detection of Implant Loosening in Total Hip Replacements (SMART-HIP)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

"Ageing, sedentary behaviour,and obesity are predictors of osteoarthritis, and the combination of arthritis and obesity causes an undue stress on joints, and when conservative treatments no longer yield a satisfactory response, joint replacement becomes necessary. Despite the standardized procedures, a significant share of total joint replacements fail because the prosthesis becomes loose or becau ...

A novel Wireless, wearable Shoe-based system for real time monitoring of Energy Expenditure and Gait parameters for Sport and Medical Applications (Wi-Shoe)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Gait parameters monitoring and energetic expenditure (EE) calculation is of high importance for patients recovering from diseases that affect movement (e.g. stroke). The same applies to professional athletes either in the phase of recovery from a lower limb injury or performing a sport requiring precise body posture and movement control. Currently, gait parameters’ monitoring is made either using ...

Innovative, Highly Efficient Road Surface Measurement and Control System (HERMES)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

One of the most important aims in today’s transport systems is the security they provide. Even-though in air and rail transports we have managed to have extremely low accident and death rates this is not the case with road transport. The majority of the EU countries are now heading towards “the Vision Zero philosophy” in which road deaths become as unacceptable as they are in a factory, in the air ...

"Development of an innovative, completely automated antifouling test system for professional examinations of marine coatings" (IATS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

"Scientists try to develop coatings that prevent of fouling. Development of new coating formulation takes 5 years, beginning from R&D study to the date of launching. Taking into account the marine market development and the change of low requirements connected to the environmental issues this time is too long. Formulation time distances depend mainly on testing. In Europe the only method is testin ...
