SAPHE (Smart and Aware Pervasive Healthcare Environment) is a pioneering project aimed at enhancing health monitoring through unobtrusive sensing technologies. Funded by the DTI Technology Programme with £3.36M, the initiative is led by Professor Guang-Zhong Yang of Imperial College London, in partnership with industry leaders like BT and Philips, as well as academic institutions. The project focuses on developing miniaturized sensors for real-time monitoring of physiological and lifestyle parameters, fostering improved well-being and early disease detection for the aging population.
