NWO Veni: Energy-Efficient Real-Time Edge Intelligence for Wearable Healthcare Devices (VENI-EEAI)

In this innovative project, researchers are developing new software and hardware technology to make healthcare wearables, like eye movement trackers, hearing aids, and heart rate monitors, smarter and more efficient. By processing personal data and artificial intelligence algorithms for healthcare directly on these devices powered by specialised AI hardware accelerators, the project aims to enable instant wearable healthcare and enhance privacy. This approach also reduces energy use, promising longer battery life and more sustainable devices. The technology could transform how we monitor health conditions, making it quicker, more secure, and accessible to a wider audience.
