SMARTTEST European Doctoral Network for Resilient Remote Healthcare using Intelligent Sensing and Communication Technologies

Summary

Current healthcare systems rely heavily on individual’s self-monitoring ability to identify symptoms and initiate professional medical intervention, because of the limited possibilities to monitor a person's health proactively and from a distance. SMARTTEST is a timely, innovative and the first doctoral training network with an inter-disciplinary team of 9 academic & 8 industrial partners, 1 state inspectorate, 1 hospital and 1 social service organization, aiming to bring up a future generation of engineers capable of bridging advanced integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) technologies, smart biomedical signal analytics and health/disease monitoring to maximize the effectiveness of personalized healthcare. SMARTTEST will develop and validate the first proactive and contact-free remote health monitoring system by integrating human sensing, vital function (body motion, vital signs) monitoring, and health status assessment into future wireless communication networks. This will be achieved via efficient multi-modal radio system integration (WP1), radio signal analytics and human vital information aggregation (WP2), biomedical signal classification and prediction for quicker response times and long-term disease prevention and management (WP3), and autonomous radio resource management for dynamic sensing and monitoring tasks in dynamic environment with regulatory compliance and sustainability (WP4). SMARTTEST will adopt theory- and experiment-research training, complementary and transferrable career training, demonstration and application training, together with multidisciplinary, multi-sector and multi-culture exposure, to enable 11 doctoral candidates to become highly employable future leaders in domains of information and communication/radar technology, data science, healthcare and remote health monitoring, standardization and regulation of radio/digital infrastructure and medical device. Essentially, SMARTTEST will strengthen the European innovation capability.
