The "RADAR" project carries out RESEARCH for the new generation of reconfigurable "smart" microwave power transceivers combining disruptive nanotechnology and micro/nanoelectronics concepts with 2D and 3D heterogeneous integration, CREATES products with increased functionality and performance exceeding the current state of art and INNOVATES in the transceiver market, exploiting a "Unique business window opportunity" for applications in market segments ranging from future 5G wireless networks to upcoming ground and airborne radars.

The basic idea of the project is to design and manufacture a smart, wearable insole with built-in pressure measurement sensors, other micro-electronic sensing elements and communication devices to tackle the challenge of efficient gait monitoring in real life. Furthermore, a smartphone application will display the sensor data in real-time via Bluetooth low energy connection. The project also aims at the development of specialized patient/citizen monitoring services which are made feasible by the Smart Insole platform. These innovations will be the basis for designing new services for the early diagnosis of specific patho-logical conditions, monitoring their development and evaluating the use of wearable sensor platforms as clinical diagnostic tools.
