KERMIT Project

KERMIT aims to revolutionize personalized healthcare through a simplified wearable analytic platform that can diagnose and monitor chronic kidney disease from sweat. the project is of the EIC Pathfinder Challenge: Towards the Healthcare Continuum: technologies to support a radical shift from episodic to continuous healthcare. The objectives to be tackled by KERMIT within this challenge are: Develop a novel technology (device, instrument or full system)for unobtrusive proactive healthcare. Offer life-long health status monitoring and elements of predictive medicine with methodologies grounded in existing scientific evidence. Provide adequate safety and performance, while paying attention to minimising false positives that could hamper its real-world use. Make the case for a clinically acceptable solution amenable to successful evaluation under common Health Technology Assessment (HTA) methodologies; Provide a path to future integration in the European healthcare workflow, specifically in relation to the inter-operability with existing infrastructures, as well as take up and compliance by appropriate patient populations, should be plausible.
