Developments in printed stretchable electronics are critical for realizing health patches and wearables with superior comfort and signal quality. In this presentation I will discuss new developments within Holst Centre in the domain of sensors for health patches.

Edsger Smits received his Ph.D. from the University of Groningen in the field of organic electronics. In 2009, he joined the Holst Centre focusing oxide based electronics and the development of flexible sensors. Currently he is the program manager responsible for the "printed sensors" activities. Topics of interests include laser processing, hybrid integration, printed and stretchable electronics.

Are you looking for a reliable development partner, who can help to accelerate your R&D projects in wireless autonomous sensors and flexible electronics ?

As a flexible, independent R&D centre, we can do just that: by testing alternative solutions and materials, by developing and validating new processes, by de-risking potential scale-up scenarios.

We help to close the gap between research and actual business, both in an open innovation setting and in dedicated 1-on-1 research trajectories.

 

By partnering with Holst Centre, you benefit from the know-how and expertise of our researchers and you gain access to our state-of-the art lab infrastructure. Moreover, we introduce you to an eco-system that covers the entire value chain, including material suppliers, equipment builders all the way to manufacturers of end-products. This allows you to accelerate your time-to-market considerably. By the end of the project, you not only acquire new product concepts, but also the materials, tools and contract manufacturers, ready to produce.
