PERSIMMON

The PERSIMMON Project is a cutting-edge initiative focused on transforming personal health monitoring through the development of eco-friendly, smart patches. By utilizing biodegradable materials and advanced sensor technologies, PERSIMMON aims to create a new generation of wearable devices that are both sustainable and efficient. These smart patches, designed for continuous health tracking, offer real-time insights into various physiological metrics, including heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure, without compromising on comfort or environmental impact. At the heart of PERSIMMON is the integration of multimodal sensors and edge-AI, which processes data directly on the device, reducing the need for cloud-based systems and lowering power consumption. The project focuses on combining innovative materials, like liquid gallium circuits and biopolymers, with advanced machine learning algorithms, ensuring reliable and accurate health monitoring. By addressing challenges related to wearability, motion artifacts, and energy efficiency, PERSIMMON aims to set a new standard in health technology. Beyond the technological advancements, PERSIMMON is committed to supporting the circular economy. The smart patches are designed for recyclability, with a particular focus on reducing waste and environmental footprint. This aligns with the project's broader goal of developing sustainable technologies that meet the needs of healthcare and sports sectors, while also addressing the challenges of a rapidly evolving digital health landscape. Ultimately, PERSIMMON's vision is to revolutionize health monitoring by providing personalized, continuous, and environmentally conscious solutions. With applications ranging from sports performance to remote patient care, the project is at the forefront of innovation in digital health, offering a scalable, future-proof solution for both individuals and healthcare systems.
