ReNaChip partners: What else do we do?
|
ReNaChip partners are all active in the European scientific community and engage in many FP6 and FP7 funded projects. In this section each month we will feature one of the projects, starting this month with UNEW and Healthy Aims.

Funded under the IST Microsystems programme of FP6, Healthy Aims was a four year Integrated Project that developed a number of intelligent medical implants and diagnostic systems integrating a range of under pinning microsystems
technologies. Core technologies include a local body area network, micro
electrodes, biomaterials, implantable power source and motion sensing
system. Products under development: |

UNEW activity at INEX focussed on the fabrication of electrode structures and surface modification strategies to reduce impedance at the device interface with the body. In a second activity INEX developed a novel strain gauge system and developed processing protocols appropriate for the manufacturability of the device.
The project successfully integrated state of the art technological advances into product development, supporting full exploitation of the project outcomes via the industrial partners. For further information please visit www.healthyaims.org
