Evalan started the MAS project together with the Uppsala University in Sweden and the MUMC in Maastricht. During this project a muscle analyzer system will be developed that measures the density of muscles by means of microwave technology.
A new European project, NextPerception, is developing intelligent sensing technology for the next generation of solutions for the healthcare and automotive industry. On the one hand, the focus of the project is on patient-centered care, in which improved monitoring systems aim at early detection and prevention of deterioration in health. On the other hand, sensor solutions are being developed for the automotive industry to improve pedestrian safety and automated driving. During this project, Evalan focuses on the first use case, healthcare, and is developing a respiratory rate sensor specifically for cardiac care.
Today’s world is built on connection. Our homes, phones and more and more of our devices are communicating with each other. The adoption of IoT is growing and impacting several sectors, including healthcare. Healthcare professionals are increasingly beginning to realize how smart technology can revolutionize healthcare in many different ways. Two key tools will play a role in this change: embedded monitoring systems and smart building connectivity.
UMC Utrecht asked us to develop an IoT solution that helps physiotherapists gain insight into the physical load of their patients during revalidation. Physiotherapists try to guide revalidating patients as much as possible and get them going as soon as possible. But how do you know whether the leg, hip or ankle load is too light, …

The Dutch healthcare sector suffers from a large staff shortage and the workload is high. Embedded monitoring systems and a smart healthcare infrastructure can help to provide a better and safer environment for healthcare staff and patients.
For many patients it appears to be difficult to take medication according to the schedule that the doctor has prescribed. Taking a pill daily at breakfast is usually still possible, but it becomes more difficult when there are schedules where the intake of medication is irregular. Or if a three-month break is inserted, after which the patient himself has to start taking the medication again. But even when patients have no complaints, suffer from side effects of the medication or simply forget it, therapy compliance is a difficult task. IoT offers a solution for this problem. There are many devices on the market that offer assistance with therapy compliance.
Evalan has contributed to a new development in the field of IoT in healthcare, namely the analysis of exhaled air to diagnose diseases. The product of Breathomix, the SpiroNose, aims to diagnose lung diseases, such as asthma, COPD and lung cancer, but also other diseases, and to have them treated more specifically. For this innovation, we developed the sensor system and the device that collects and transmits the measurement data.
The widespread concern about data privacy, the fear of diminishing job security and regulatory standards are hindering the uptake of IoMT devices. Many medical professionals are cautious about its application in healthcare. Do you see the possibilities but are your colleagues worried about the adoption of these devices? The emergence of the chief nursing information officer (CNIO) in hospitals might offer a solution.
There is a worldwide increase in the number of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices. IoMT appears to be of great value in medical research, monitoring, treatment and process optimization. Less pressure on caregivers An example of remote monitoring is the vMetrics TM solution developed by NASA. This device measures the heart rate, blood pressure …
Many syndromes require customized treatment. This is achieved faster due to the emergence of eHealth devices. The ability to view real-time data from a patient ensures that the process can be tailored to the patient. Using data analytics, the physician can view the medical developments for each patient and give personal advice.
In response to worldwide health and fitness trends, the adoption of biometric devices, or Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) within healthcare and other demanding professions is growing fast. What is the actual growth rate of these IoT-based biometric devices? How can they be used? And what opportunities do they offer for your company?
The rapid uptake of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), in other words biometric monitoring, offers a lot of possibilities for healthcare professionals, athletes and people with physical demanding professions. In the US, 60 percent of the healthcare organizations are using IoMT devices to measure blood pressure, brain activity and body temperature.
Wearables: we know them as the pedometers and fitness trackers. But we see the development increasingly shifting from the consumer market to healthcare. How can biometric wearables be used in healthcare? The innovations contribute to the increase of personalized care.
On the 16th and 17th of January we joined the kick-off of the SINTEC project (Soft Intelligence Epidermal Communication Plaftorm) in Sweden. The aim of this project is to develop two new techniques: stretchable pcb’s (printed circuit boards) and communication through fat tissue. Evalan will combine these techniques to realize practical and effective solutions for healthcare.
Evalan, an Amsterdam-based company focusing on IoT innovations, is participating in the SINTEC project (Soft Intelligence Epidermal Communication Platform). This project focuses on creating a new smart patch. This patch is made from flexible, stretchable circuit board technology and can measure important bodily functions that are sent wirelessly through the skin to a smartphone. The eight participants in the project aim for these patches to provide support in health care and the sports sector.
