The Lund company Pampett initiates a collaboration with researchers at Malmö University. 
The purpose is to use Pampett’s sensor technology to develop biofilms that can be attached to the body and provide important health information that can be read in a smartphone.
Pampett’s sensors are used today mainly in dementia care. A small disposable sensor is placed in the incontinence guard and signals via a smartphone or reading plate to the staff when the protection needs to be replaced. The technology has achieved, among other things, a better night’s sleep for the elderly and dementia sick patients and at private caretakers throughout Sweden.
The researchers at Malmö University have also got their eyes on Pampett’s sensor technology. In a research project financed by the Knowledge Foundation, the researchers will produce biosensors that can provide information on different body functions. For example, sensors attached to the body as a patch would be used to tell an athlete in real time about the level of lactic acid in the blood or bacteria in the urine for a patient using incontinence protection.
* For the growing e-health area, refined biosensors will mean a revolution. Sensors that provide detailed information about the patient’s state of health can speed up the care efforts and reduce the patient’s need to get to the care facility. The doctor can make a safe diagnosis remotely. And there are also a large number of other uses.
