The initial driver for this synergistic shared research relationship is [...]

Leuven, Belgium – October 5, 2009 – IMEC and its research affiliate Holst Centre have unveiled a miniaturized and wireless 8-channel EEG system. The system is suited for remote monitoring of patients in their daily environment, resulting in more natural readings and greatly increasing the patient’s comfort.
The EEG system can be connected to individual electrodes, [...]

Leuven, Belgium & Eindhoven, The Netherlands – September 2, 2009 – Today, at IEEE EMB Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA), IMEC and its research affiliate Holst Centre present the clinical validation of a wireless sleep staging system. The miniaturized wireless system allows patients to wear the device in the comfort of their home, thus [...]

Leuven, Belgium & Eindhoven, The Netherlands – September 2, 2009 – IMEC and its research affiliate Holst Centre today present a prototype of an electrocardiogram or ECG necklace at the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Conference (EMBC) in Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA). The technology enables long-term monitoring of cardiac performance and allows patients to [...]

ISSCC2009, SAN FRANCISCO – FEBRUARY 9, 2009 – At this week’s International
Solid State Circuit Conference, Holst Centre – founded by the Belgian
nanoelectronics research center IMEC and the Dutch research center TNO -
presents world’s first 128 bit organic RFID transponder chip with
Manchester encoding, anti-collision protocol and record high data rate. The
reported RFID transponder chip is [...]

EINDHOVEN – November 5, 2008 – DuPont Teijin Films, the world’s leading
differentiated producer of PET and PEN polyester films, joins the
Systems-in-Foil program of Holst Centre, a research initiative of the
Flemish and Dutch research centers IMEC and TNO. By getting a major
substrate vendor on board, Holst Centre gathers the entire ecosystem of
industrial players around [...]

EINDHOVEN – October 23, 2008 – The international chemical and
pharmaceutical group Solvay today signs an agreement to become part of the
research network of Holst Centre, an open-innovation initiative by IMEC
(Belgium) and TNO (The Netherlands).
Flexible organic electronics – or systems-in-foil – will in the future be
driven by an industry producing, laminating and combining [...]

IMEC Annual Research Review Meeting – Leuven – Belgium
Leuven, Belgium – October 14, 2008 – In the framework of Holst Centre, IMEC
developed an ambulatory arousal monitor. The new research concept uses a
combination of body parameters to monitor a person’s arousal level. The
compact form factor and the long battery lifetime allow the use of the
arousal monitor [...]

In the framework of Holst Centre, IMEC – Europe’s leading independent nanoelectronics research institute – has broadened the functionality and scope of its wireless health monitoring technology by linking it to real-time extraction of relevant medical data. The new technology builds upon the “knowledge streaming” concept of i.Know – a Belgian SME specialized in intelligent [...]

Leuven, Belgium – July 14, 2008 – In the framework of Holst Centre, IMEC
has further extended the functionality of its wireless ECG patch for
cardiac monitoring. It added wave analysis software locally on the patch
node. The algorithm achieves excellent results for sensitivity and
predictivity, and covers a broad range of wave morphologies. The innovative
ECG patch is intended [...]
