SIH Project Possibilities

• SIH (Sundhed I Hjemmet) – Personal/Private Healtcare project• A 3 years Research Project at IHA started mid 2006

• Funded by www.uvm.dk (Danish Ministry of Education)

• Funding 5 mill kr. – total project budget 11 mill kr.

• Systematics EPJ system is available for the project

• Examples on ongoing projects:• Development of ECG/HRV (heart rate variability

sensor/communication)• Automatic medicine dispenser (RFID/communication)• Detection of liquid balance (sensor/communication)• Detection of epilepsy (censor/communication)
