Sensor & Health Technologies Technologies for advanced sensors being used for demanding tasks in the industry, medicine and research.

The sensor technology team researches photonic, optical and other sensor technologies and combines them with artificial intelligence to create sensor systems for the recognition and measurement of physical, chemical and biomedical features. This technology leads to greater accuracy in object recognition and material detection and allows novel applications in factory automation, personalised health, smart health solutions and digital health.

Preventing stroke thanks to early detection of cardiac arrhythmias with artificial intelligence

The Swiss eHealth start-up evismo and the iHomeLab of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts are jointly developing algorithms to detect and predict cardiac arrhythmias earlier.

Increased efficiency, flexibility and sustainability in industry, as well as in personalised diagnoses and therapies in medicine.

Thanks to intelligent sensors, the degree of automation and flexibility of industrial processes can be increased and errors and wastage reduced. Patients will benefit from more precise solutions for the prevention, early detection and individualised therapy of diseases. 

Sensors

Together with industrial partners and research institutions from Switzerland and Europe, we research and develop novel sensor principles and implement them in applications. Our research is applied to solve challenges including

  • Quality monitoring in the processing of microfibres to increase efficiency, flexibility and quality as well as to reduce energy costs
  • 3D object detection and quality monitoring in factory automation
  • Material categorisation in waste disposal to increase the recycling rate
  • AI-based ECG analysis for early detection of cardiac arrhythmias based on predictive markers
  • Therapy of glaucoma patients with a novel microfluidic stent

The research of the Sensor & Health Technologies-Team is based on the following competences:

  • Hyperspectral imaging VIS/IR for material detection
  • 3D ToF imaging
  • 3D radar image analysis
  • Digital Health: AI based ECG analysis
  • Microfluidics: simulation, chip design and testing
  • Various machine learning methods, including deep learning
  • Computer vision for geometric analysis
  • Multiphysics simulations
