We are faced with global challenges related to health, food, sustainability and the environment. While these are formidable challenges, they also represent a gigantic opportunity to improve people’s lives on a global scale while at the same time creating new economic opportunities. The OnePlanet Research Center is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between imec, Radboud University & Medical Center, and Wageningen University & Research where nanoelectronics and analytics innovations are used to solve problems related to personalized health, personalized nutrition, sustainable food production and reduced environmental impact.

Imec has launched a virtual personal health coach research program which combines wearable technology and data sciences for providing new coaching methodologies towards managing an active lifestyle, managing stress, and smoking cessation, with the ambition to have a big impact on preventive health and reduce the future incidence of chronic disease. Chronic diseases currently account for 70 to 85% of all healthcare costs in US, EU and OECD countries. Nearly half of these chronic diseases are linked to lifestyle and behavior and are therefore in principle preventable. At the same time we are creating a next generation of chronic patients when looking at behavioral statistics of adolescents and adults. A third of all adolescents and half of all adults are not sufficiently active (in terms of aerobic exercise and physical activity). Nearly three quarters does not meet the recommended targets for muscle-strengthening physical activity. We consume too much sodium (which increases our risk of hypertension). Nearly 25% (40%) of adults said they ate vegetables (fruit) less than once a day. Approximately 19% of all adults still smokes cigarettes and e-cigarettes are on the rise. Half of all alcohol-related deaths are due to binge drinking. Unhealthy behavior leads to high blood pressure and high LDL cholesterol which are risk factors for heart disease and stroke. A major effort should therefore be devoted to preventive health and focus on maintaining or restoring a healthy lifestyle. Consumer wearables are already aiming to address our behavior, most notably fitness, and to some extent diet. However, since changing behavior is so difficult, generic smartphone apps providing averaged advice are not well accepted by users and have limited positive outcomes. If wearables were to learn our habits, and were able to capture triggers towards bad behavior, they could provide the right positive advice at the right time. Doing so, they could have the same impact and high-quality result as a personal coach who learns our behavior, what motivates us and gives tailored personalized advice.

On 4 July 2012 the ATLAS and CMS collaboration at LHC announced the observation of a new particle, consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson. The significance of its observation stands now close to the 7 sigma level, well beyond the 5 required for a discovery and the measurement of the new particle's properties appear to be consistent with those of a Standard Model Higgs boson. This discovery marks the definitive triumph of the Standard Model of particle physics and represents a milestone in our understanding of the Universe. Behind this important achievement there is the hard work of the experimentalists, who have dedicated more than 20 years of their lives to the R&D work necessary to the conception and realization of huge and sophisticated apparatus of unprecedented sensitivities capable to stand the harsh running conditions at the LHC. The crucial role played by the different detectors techniques will be revised.

One of the main drivers of today's IC industry is the electrification of the car, which is a trend that has been already ongoing for several decades. This trend has led to an increasing need for more measurement and control in automotive systems, tasks for which high performance angular, speed and torque sensors are essential components. To enhance the car's comfort, safety and efficiency, these sensors are applied in power steering, ABS and motor management systems respectively. Accordingly, driving experience is increased.

The cost of healthcare is increasing worldwide. Without disruptive changes, a large part of the population in many developed countries will no longer be able to afford healthcare by 2040. Part of the solution will come from focusing on prevention. Having personal tools at everyone's disposal, which will help people to monitor their health and to change their behavior, can enable disease prevention. Managing weight and managing stress are two societal challenges where a behavioral change can have huge cost savings. In this paper, it is shown how wearable sensor devices are able to detect energy expenditure as well as monitor stress levels. System aspects and validation are discussed. Because convenience and user acceptance are key for making these tools a success, smaller form factors and more convenient sensor locations on the body are required.
