From the 18th to the 21st of May, EDI (Institute of Electronics and Computer Science) software engineer Toms Račinskis took part in the “12th Microwave and Radar Week MIKON 2026” – an international scientific conference in Krakow, Poland.
During the conference he presented a paper titled “Towards Sustainable Wearable Vital Sign Monitoring”, written by his team at EDI as part of the European Union co-funded research project SUSTRONICS. The paper is focused on an energy efficient approach to processing chest bioimpedance sensor data for heart and respiratory rate extraction, as well as the testing of sustainable screen-printed electrodes.
The electrodes in question were provided by Screentec Oy – project partners from Finland. These tasks were done as part of one of the team’s broader goals – creating a sustainable wearable bioimpedance measurement device.
