About SAL

Insights into SAL’s mission, values, research activities, and contribution to Europe’s innovation ecosystem.

EU-TRAINS

EU-TRAINS develops innovative wearables and smart textiles with integrated sensors for monitoring vital signs—even under challenging conditions such as underwater. The project aims to promote telemedicine, health monitoring, and an active lifestyle, as well as to establish a fully European value chain for sensor-based health technologies.

Project goals

  • Improving textile inte­grated elec­tronic systems for real-time moni­toring of heart, respi­ra­tory and move­ment para­me­ters on land and in-water through an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary approach
  • Devel­oping semi­con­ductor tech­nolo­gies which are able to with­stand harsh ambient condi­tions such as salt fogs, chlo­rine, deter­gents, high and low temper­a­tures, etc., and which allow for the re-use of micro-nano systems both in sports and in the health­care sector
  • Devel­oping minia­tur­ized wear­able devices allowing the capturing of bio-chem­ical para­me­ters such as lactate, glucose or elec­trolytes from sweat
  • Equip­ping clothes with both measuring units and the edge-AI proces­sors for periph­eral data fusion and edge-cloud-continuum

Mag-TF

The Mag-TF initiative aims to establish a pilot facility for the development, manufacturing, and characterization of advanced magnetic thin films for spintronic and MEMS applications. This includes the acquisition of specialized equipment for thin film deposition as well as for wafer-level magnetic device characterization. The Mag-TF infrastructure will be integrated into the existing SAL microfabrication facility.

Aeromic

As part of the project, innovative wall-mounted microphone sensors and ultra-thin sensor arrays were developed to measure pressure fluctuations on aircraft surfaces, both in the wind tunnel and during flight tests….
