Background
Holst Centre (www.holstcentre.com) is a leading R&D innovation centre for next-generation wireless electronics systems. It was founded in 2005 by The Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) and Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre (IMEC) of Belgium. TNO@Holst Centre is innovating to solve societal challenges in healthcare. Under the “human-centric healthcare” umbrella program, innovative solutions are being developed for the three pillars of healthcare: prevention, diagnosis and therapy. These solutions include, but are not limited to, smart clothing and sensors to promote an active lifestyle, wearable health patches and non-contact sensing surfaces for remote patient monitoring, large-area flexible NIR and ultrasound imagers, and 3D printed medication for personalized therapy. These innovations are highly complementary to Israeli innovations in software, AI, and healthtech in general.
