Main research trends in PDHM are on monitoring at longer periods, reducing
motion artefacts, and multimodal monitoring. PERSIMMON will push the state-of-the-art by providing personalized and biodegradable
multimodal smart sensor patches based on low-cost additive manufacturing. The innovations introduced by PERSIMMON rely on new
sensor materials, AI, and digital surface mount technology (SMT). The developed patches will be used in multinodal networks with
multimodal nodes on the skin for advanced DPHM, with improved sustainability and circularity. Cloud-based AI sensor fusion will be
used for blood pressure and body temperature monitoring, and edge-AI for reducing motion artefacts, selecting good signal conditions,
and reduce power consumption at the smart patch. In addition, PERSIMMON will develop new sensor materials for biodegradability,
sensor electrodes, and nano-MOS embedded in semi-permeable materials (that will allow gas sensors on the skin with both extended
lifetime in multiuse modules and at extreme low cost in disposables). Within 48 months and with the involvement of 13 partners from
six countries, PERSIMMON will demonstrate remote DPHM in sport use cases of ski mountaineering and swimming, and in continuous
remote monitoring of chronically ill patients in their everyday lives. A production line for additive manufacturing of soft and compliant
printed wiring boards based on digital SMT manufacturing, and a 5G gateway for body worn IoT will be demonstrated and made as
business cases. The used water-soluble biopolymers and liquid metal interconnects and contacts remove microplastics waste and allow
for reuse of clean components and recycled metal without high-temperature or toxic processing. ...
