RESEARCH PROJECTS
With the help of the funding from the excellence cluster competition, numerous future-oriented research projects are being implemented in the Forum Organic Electronics cluster, which will have a decisive impact on the progress of development of new technologies.
Project selection:
ORGANIC SENSOR SYSTEM APPLICATIONS (GLUCOSENS)
Components and circuits based on organic electronics allow sensors to be mass produced in a cost-effective way. This makes new applications possible, for example in medical technology. The use of organic electronics brings with it significant improvements in the production, recycling and performance of sensors. Neither precious nor heavy metals are needed for production. The aim of this project is to develop a measuring device for the continuous determination of the blood sugar level, which allows ongoing decisions on treatment, reliable warnings for hypo- and hyperglycemia and direct control of an insulin pump (artificial pancreas).
Project partners:
BASF SE, Freudenberg & Co., Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Heidelberg University You can find more information on this project here.
