The best-known example of an autonomous and closed-loop therapy device is a pacemaker.
Second in line, although not yet commercially available, are intelligent insulin pumps. With artificial intelligence, and miniaturized sensors and actuators, the ingredients are there to shape a future with a multitude of closed-loop systems for remote, preventive and curative healthcare.
Think of medical-grade wearables measuring blood pressure and assisting in finding the right dose of blood pressure-regulating medicine. Think of small implants that stimulate specific nerves based on biomarkers for migraine sensed in real-time. Or think of invisibly integrated sensors in (car) seats and office chairs to follow up the breathing capacity of lung patients and advise them on their fitness program.
Vojkan Mihajlović, senior researcher, and Evelien Hermeling, principal scientist at imec, share their vision on how closed-loop systems, consisting of wearables, impl
