- Wearable chemical sensors for public health-based business model -
The European Commission has selected the WoePal GmbH and its WorShip project for funding in the frame of a Horizon2020 Coordination and Support Action. An innovation associate is incorporated with the project and beyond, who strengthens current capabilities, opens new fields for innovation development and accelerates bringing products to market.
Goal of this action is to release the full potential of a network of sensors by combining data and embedding it into a modelling framework. This can be further enhanced by employing auxiliary data. Building a framework to access, combine and process data allows the WoePal GmbH to provide the information clients need for decision making. The specific objectives of the innovation associate are subordinated to WoePal’s technology roadmap and are focused on:
- Leading the development of a software framework to extract higher order information from the raw data of gas sensor networks
- Introducing big data approaches to public health issues that are related to air pollution
- Developing and implementing an innovation strategy to bring new services based on gas sensor data to the market
- Acquiring lighthouse projects to increase the visibility of WoePal and establish the company as leading technology and service provider in the air quality and public health sector
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 861841.
