Funded by the European Commission under the Fp7 programme, the project is involved in the development of a low-cost Smart Integrated Miniaturised Sensor System (SIMS) for diagnostic, industry and environment,. The sensor is to be developed through the integration of a nanosensor, organic circuitry, printed battery and printed display on a same flexible substrate as in Fig. 1 below. The main focus of SIMS is on quantitative measurements of cholesterol however it will also provide a technological platform with potential for industrial and environmental testing, thus improving the overall health and environment of people in Europe and beyond. The project is in collaboration with University of West England (UK), Dublin City University (Ireland), Alere International (UK) and VTT (Finland).
