Resumen
The prevalence of overweight among the European population is estimated to be near 50% and the
prevalence of obesity around 16%. Monitoring obesity and overweight prevalence is important for
assessing interventions aimed at preventing or reducing the burden of obesity and related medical
risks and providing the tools for maintaining a healthier lifestyle. UltraSense project introduces
the concept of a stretchable multi-sensing platform, as a wearable tool for body composition
analysis and overall decentral health monitoring, fostering a sustainable and healthier lifestyle.
The platform will comprise smart features, Al signal processing and advanced stretchable materials,
enabling the efficient synergy of three compartments of sensors relying on different technologies:
A. Ultra-sound compartment: delivering precise information about body composition and tissue
thickness
B. Bioimpedance compartment: fast and reliable measuring of the percentage of fat, water and muscle
C. G-FET biosensor compartment: Biomarker retrieval via sweating at atto-Molar sensitivity in
miniaturized footprint The wearable device will be validate in two use cases:
1. The effect of sport on a healthier lifestyle: monitoring the overall health of people who
exercise
2. Early detection and continuous monitoring of metabolic syndrome.
Ultra-Sense's data will be displayed to the user with consistency and reliability, so that medical
advice can be sought.
The green and circular material synthesis approaches of the project will reduce the related C02
emissions by more than 70% from solvent processing. UltraSense will have a huge societal and
economic impact: 700k devices will be sold annually already by 2032 for 105M€ of revenues reaching
a 10% market share and associated with 20 new jobs. Millions of people will have access to
low-cost, easy to use device informing of their body composition helping them improve
their lifestyle, reducing obesity and metabolic diseases, and related treatment costs.
