Research group Smart Systems for Healthy Living
Microsystems are multidisciplinary sensor systems that transmit their measurements via the internet, also known as the 'Internet of Things’ (IoT). They are used at the HU to measure people and their living environment. Our research group is aimed at studying the multidisciplinary systems development of these IoT products.
Lines of research within the research group
3D-bioprinting of cartilage
ProjectIn the Netherlands alone, there are 1.5 million people suffering from degenerative creek bone defects. Cartilage is incapable of healing by itself. With this project, we are working towards a possibility to fix defects with 3D bioprinting.
Education
Our research directly affects education, since our students learn in groups to design fast and structured microsystems.

Collaboration
The research group is looking for companies and institutions that are plagued by difficult challenges in their product development of multidisciplinary products. They can expect support in structuring the development process, in terms of providing advice and assistance.
