The NanoID project aims to develop a rehabilitation sweater for the elderly (a wearable), based on intelligent textiles that integrate a set of sensors and actuators with multiple functions at the level of rehabilitation. The sweater, with a nice and ergonomic design, will be equipped with dry and flexible (nano)sensors based on thin (nano)structured films, with the ability to monitor various physiological parameters, including body temperature, heart beat and electrical muscle activity. The array of sensors/ actuators of this wearable will be remotely controlled by specialized medical centers that, through a system of Artificial Intelligence, interpret the data collected while rehabilitating the patient by sending electrical responses/stimuli aimed at specific muscle groups.

• Development of a matrix of dry multifunctional sensors for monitoring vital physiological signals (EMG, ECG and TCB), instantaneous measurement of static and dynamic acceleration, and sending functional electrostimulation (FES).
• Development of a semi-structural solid-state battery with long life, structurally integrated in the intelligent textile, with specific capacity approximate to conventional lithium batteries.
• Development of an intelligent textile for rehabilitation, using different materials and textile processes that aim at the integrability of the sensor matrix and the semi-structural battery.
• Design of solutions based on microelectronics for intelligent sensing. R&D of solutions based on Artificial Intelligence algorithms to allow the detection of fall patterns and electrostimulation techniques;
• Development of a software to acquire the physiological signals monitored by the sweater, with algorithms of Artificial Intelligence that define the appropriate functional electrostimulation, and warning signs of imminent fall, via the construction of analytical models;
