Wednesday, June 26th
9:15 – 10:00 | Auditorium
Chris Van Hoof, IMEC-OnePlanet Research Center, Wageningen University and Research, Katholieke
Universiteit Leuven“Implantable and Ingestible Sensing Enabled by Circuit and System Innovations”
Abstract: With more people living longer and chronic diseases on the rise, traditional healthcare systems
are pushed to their limits. Costs skyrocket, specialized personnel is hard to find, and emerging treatments
and tools are not universally available. A future in which smart health concepts such as precision medicine
and genomics are brought within everyone's reach is needed as this will result in personalized treatmentswith better outcomes and lower costs. Furthermore, managing health should be an integral part of the
future of healthcare: a focus on prediction, prevention or interception of disease next to the focus on
disease management.
To make such future possible, disruptive hardware and AI innovations are needed. On the hardware side, new yet volume-scalable sensing
technologies are needed as well as edge AI hardware for signal processing and closed-loop control. Personalized digital twin models need to becreated based on these new sources of data to help both individuals and their doctors and pharma and medtech industry.
This presentation will give an overview of sensor, circuit, system, data analytics and application innovation conducted at imec in OnePlanet andimec at Holst Centre. Ingestible sensor innovations and implantable device innovations will be presented.

Chris Van Hoof is General Manager of the OnePlanet Research Center in Gelderland. He is also Vice President R&D at imec. Chris believes
preventive health, personalised nutrition, sustainable food production and reduced waste are essential enablers of improving our world for thegenerations to come. And he is convinced that technology (hardware and AI) are key tools to make that happen. After receiving a PhD in ElectricalEngineering from the University of Leuven in 1992, Chris has held positions as manager and director at imec in highly diverse fields spanningtechnology, circuits, systems, data and applications. Apart from delivering industry-relevant innovative solutions to customers, his work also
resulted in five startups (four in the healthcare domain). He is also full professor at the University ofLeuven and imec Fellow. Although OnePlanet
Research Center started just over 5 years ago, it has already built up a team of 100 scientists and engineers, who create innovations in close
collaboration with teams from the founding organizations imec, Radboud University and Medical Center and Wageningen University andResearch.

Jan Cornelis Somer, Former Ultrasound Group Leader at MFI-TNO and Professor at the Biophysics
Department of Maastricht University, Netherlands“50 Years Real-Time Electronic Sector Scanning”
Abstract: In the early sixties, many pioneers investigated the possibilities of ultrasound pulse-echo
techniques for diagnostic purposes. The main areas were neurology, gynecology & obstetrics, radiology
and ophthalmology. The Institute of Medical Physics where I was employed had close connections withsome neurologists pioneering in ultrasound for brain diagnostics. The experts often were relatively
successful as far as it concerned A-scan. In contrast to this, attempts to obtain useful results with B-scanwere very disappointing. I was convinced that the relative success of A-scan, in spite of its one-dimensional
character, was due to the fact that A-scan is a true real-time system. That makes searching for the best
picture possible by moving the probe slightly while observing the result simultaneously.
The trials with all kinds of mechanical B-scan systems, in order to obtain two-dimensional pictures, suffered from the fact that one sees the result
only after the scan is completed. The results were extremely disappointing for brain imaging, mainly due to irregularly shaped skull bone and its
high absorption. I was absolutely convinced that two-dimensional scanning at a high repetition rate and with an essentially stationary probe
would provide superior results. Observing moving objects, like the heart, would probably become possible. Both for brain and heart a probe witha small “footprint” is essential, as was the case already with A-scan equipment. In 1964 we decided to explore if such a new system is feasible. We
would then have a fast B-scan system comparable with A-scan but with the vital difference that it is two-dimensional and real-time. We started
to develop such a system of which the first prototype, the Electroscan, became operational in the beginning of 1969. It was able to produce realtime ultrasound images in the form of a sector of 90 degrees, divided in 32 different directions, and with a scanning rate of 30 frames per second.
This system was published at the 1st World Congress of the WFUMB in Vienna, 1969. This obviously explains the title of this lecture. We can say
now that the success of electronic sector scanning has been enormous. It is applied in numerous medical areas. In echo-cardiography, for instance,
the use of “phased array” has become almost exclusive. The Electroscan was developed in a period in which the computer and chip technology
were relatively at a poor level.
The fact that nowadays even 3-dimensional real-time scanners exist shows clearly how much ‘good ideas’ are dependent on technicaldevelopments.

I, Jan Somer, received an MSc in Electronics and Electrotechnique from the Delft University of Technology in 1960.
In 1961 I got my first job at MFI-TNO, which means Institute of Medical Physics of the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research. I
told the director of the Institute that I took an extra course on Acoustics during my study in Delft. This triggered the director immediately bytelling me about his observation that internationally attempts were going on to find out whether the use of high frequency sound, so called
ultrasound, could contribute to better diagnosing some medical problems.
He told me about neurologists, ophthalmologists, cardiologists, and gynecologists all over the world who were trying with modified
Nondestructive Testing Devices (NTD), whether ultrasound could contribute as a new diagnostic tool.
I started my new job by spending a lot of time in the library in order to get familiar with the sphere of work. At the same time I started visiting
the places where research on medical ultrasound was going on. The general experience was a kind of dissatisfaction, a feeling of how can we dobetter.
Strange enough, the one-dimensional technique, the so-called A-scan, gave information on distances that could be measured quite accurately.
On the other hand, to get a two-dimensional image the probe had to be moved in order to get a second dimension (B-scan). The results, whether
scanning by hand or motor driven were, except in some cases, unsatisfactory. The main reason? I am convinced that not being able to watch thescreen during scanning is the reason. The result shows only after finishing, and it is a still picture. The missing link is: REAL TIME
My conclusion was: Improvement of image quality can only be obtained if we can make the A-scan line also steered. On it’s turn this leads to themagic word: PHASED ARRAY.
And automatically we have a system that is REAL TIME. The success has been enormous.
And here the industry took over! With my group at MFI-TNO we have built two prototypes. The first one, Electroscan I, gained an huge success.
The PowerPoint presentation is almost entirely based on this Electroscan I, the second machine, Electroscan II was built for the University
Freiburg, that financed it.

9:00 – 10:45 | Tamna Hall
Zulfiqur Ali, Teesside University, UK“Ubiquitous Diagnostics for Biophysical and Biochemical Biomarkers for Healthcare”
Abstract: There is a need for more personalised quantitative information that can provide actionable
feedback for the prevention, early diagnosis or management of disease. There has been an increasing trend
in the development of wearable and point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics that can provide remote and(quasi)continuous quantification of biophysical and biochemical biomarkers. To realise this vision, thesedevices need to be ubiquitous and reliable. We have previously described volume manufacturing approaches
for low-cost electrochemical sensing of biochemical biomarkers. An increase in the number of devices can,however, lead to the generation of electronic waste and so there is requirement that these are underpinnedby circularity. In this talk, we will discuss the design choice for ubiquitous diagnostics in sensing modalities, power, connectivity, data analytics,
volume manufacturing as well applications and the requirements for sustainability.
Zulfiqur Ali received a BSc in Chemistry and a PhD in instrumentation and analytical science from the University of Manchester, UK. He was a
Research Fellow at the University of Warwick prior to joining as an academic in the Department of Pharmacy at the University of Brighton in 1990
and subsequently at Teesside University in 1996. Zulf has interests in electrochemical and optical sensing, microfluidics, microfabrication and AI.
He is an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Lab on a chip and on the Editorial Board for the Micromachines journal and previously on the International
Program Committee for the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE) as well as an international panel member for
the Higher Education Academy (HEA) of Ireland. Zulf has coordinated a number of national and European Commission funded projects andcurrently he is part of the Horizon Europe SusFE and Holicare projects.

Monique Tabak, University of Twente
Arlene John, University of Twente“Real world data monitoring and eHealth: towards making informed decisions”
The evolving landscape of eHealth, especially in systems for remote patient monitoring and decision-making, presents numerous challenges anduncertainties. This tutorial addresses the complexities of leveraging real-world data for effective eHealth systems. It addresses overarching issues
such as data loss and noisy data, along with specific challenges in data management including data storage systems and formats, privacy, andsecurity within inference/decision-support systems.
The discussion delves into the need for establishing new clinical endpoints for decision-making, drawing insights from daily life ambulatory
monitoring data. Emphasis is placed on addressing issues with using real-world data, including data loss and variability compared to controlled
lab settings. In a scenario where these concerns are satisfactorily addressed, the tutorial explores the nuances of transitioning from datasets with
inherent data biases to informed decision-making. A crucial distinction is made between system decisions and clinical/shared decisions, offering acomprehensive understanding of the intricate journey from raw data to actionable insights in the realm of eHealth.
Prof.dr.ir. Monique Tabak is full professor at the University of Twente with a background in Biomedical
Engineering. She is an eHealth expert, focusing on the question: how can eHealth technology contributeto tailor-made care in daily life? She particularly focuses on remote patient monitoring to create acomprehensive picture of a person in daily life. Subsequently, she investigates how to develop
personalized coaching and decision support using this data in the triangle: healthcare professionalpatient-technology. These technologies aim to contribute to personalized and proactive care on one hand,and self-management and patient empowerment on the other. Monique has a strong (European) networkand participated in >20 (inter)national research and innovation projects on eHealth (e.g. IS-ACTIVE (AAL),
InLife (H2020), MAGGY (NWO), LoaD (NWA-ORC)) in major coordinating roles as project manager or WP
leader, as well as principal investigator and in close collaboration with care centres. She is currently

Eugenio Cantatore, Eindhoven University of Technology“Flexible and large-area electronics for biomedical applications”
Recent developments in the processing techniques for thin-film transistors (TFTs) have made possible tointegrate TFTs on flexible and even conformable substrates. The possibility to integrate active electronics on an
unobtrusive support is ideally suited to build wearable patches that are able to map biopotentials (ECG, EMG,
EHG, ECoG, EEG and more) on the body surface. Further applications encompassing ultrasound imaging andbiochemical screening can also be enabled by TFT electronics.
In this tutorial the main biomedical applications based on TFTs will be reviewed, some fundamental tradeoffs
in these systems will be illustrated, and a vision for future research will be sketched.

Eugenio Cantatore received his Master’s and Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering from Politecnico di Bari, in 1993 and 1997 respectively. Till

Ruud van Sloun, Eindhoven University of Technology“(generative) AI for medical image acquisition and perception”
Generative modelling has been widely theorized as the main driver behind decision making in autonomous
intelligent agents. This is not surprising: the ability to accurately infer scene states from imperfectobservations and predict plausible hypothetical futures is powerful. In this tutorial, we will discuss how
generative modeling, and in particular deep generative modeling, can play a similar role in future imaging(and more broadly, active sensor systems).
We’ll start from the Bayesian brain hypothesis and integrate state-of-the-art deep generative modelling
methods (such as score-based diffusion models), to derive inference engines for image formation andreconstruction, showing applications in ultrasound and MRI. We’ll bring together methods based on first-principles and models (classic signal
processing) with concurrent data-driven (deep learning) methods to form accurate perception models. Finally, we will show how to exploit
generative predictions about plausible futures to guide decision-making for adaptive image acquisition through information-theoretical principles.
Ruud JG van Sloun (Member, IEEE) is an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Eindhoven University ofTechnology. He received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree (both cum laude) in Electrical Engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology,
Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 2014, and 2018, respectively. From 2019-2020 he was a Visiting Professor with the Department of Mathematics
and Computer Science at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, and from 2020-2023 he was a kickstart AI fellow at Philips Research.
He received an ERC starting grant, an NWO VIDI grant, an NWO Rubicon grant, and a Google Faculty Research Award. His current research interests
include closed-loop image formation, deep generative learning for signal processing and imaging, active signal acquisition, model-based deeplearning, compressed sensing, ultrasound imaging, and probabilistic signal and image reconstruction.

Gloria Cosoli, Università Telematica eCampus“Basic and straightforward approach to optimize a measurement set-up: guidelines and suggestions”
This tutorial is not intended to be a full compendium of fundamentals on measurement methods, rather itaims to provide basic guidelines and suggestions for a proper design of a measurement set-up. The tutorial
will present basic measurement rules, taking care of the practical implications of the adopted
measurement strategy. Indeed, thoroughly planning experimental tests is fundamental, as well as making
the right choices in terms of sensors, measurement procedure, data signal processing techniques, and test
protocol.
Particular attention will be paid to data acquisition systems and correct digitalization of signals, observing
how setting parameters influence the quality of the results. Finally, some practical experimental cases will be analyzed, exploiting the potential of
new low-cost data acquisition systems for different measurement quantities, with potential application to physiological signals.
Prof. Gloria Cosoli received the B.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering (with honors) and the M.S. degree in Electronic Engineering (with honors)
