IDTechEx Launchpad

Applied Nanodetectors will show point-of-care exhaled breath test devices (for management of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and asthma) that use a sensor array platform printed on low cost substrates.

Cambridge CMOS Sensors will be demonstrating ultra low power gas sensors for indoor air quality monitoring, that are integrated into a smart phone.

EMD will be demonstrating its very small autonomous IoT node which is powered by harvested energy. Potential sources for energy recovery are light, heat and vibration.

FeelIT will show a pulse (wave form) monitoring patch capable of online cardiac parameters monitoring and a sensing platform demo (patch configuration) capable of high resolution multi-point pressure mapping.

Fraunhofer ENAS will demonstrate their printed primary batteries that can drive applications with 10 mA at 5 V and 14 V.

Hip Impact Protection will demonstrate their Fall-Safe Assist hip protectors that combine wearable technology to detect falls and provide PERS facilities with hip protection.

Otego will be showing a demonstrator that transforms the heat of a tea cup into electricity to power a wrist watch. The demonstration set-up contains a printed thermoelectric generator. Otego will also show the sugar cube size generator itself, as well as the ultra-thin foils.

NPL will show a smart textile game and glove, incorporating conductive tracks which can also act as sensors. As the wearer flexes their hand all five digits show independently the change in resistance, which has wide applications in health to games.

Piezoskin will show the prototype of a small piezoelectric carpet composed by piezoelectric flags and, applying an air flow, will demonstrate how electrical power can be stored and used.

Polar OLED demonstrate fully flexible OLED devices using fully printed techniques.
