Smart objects: concrete examples of applications in the medical and space sectors
By Matthieu Ducottet, Chief Innovation Officer. Thuasne Group
Flexible materials as a support for collecting data. Flexible materials equipped with sensors used in the medical sector make it possible to supply platforms with physiological data in order to interact on the compliance and/or personalization of a treatment, to support a patient in the treatment of a pathology or as part of a rehabilitation program following a trauma. The latest research and practical applications in this field are constantly evolving, particularly around biosensors, capable of converting a biological or physiological response or marker into an electrical signal and which make it possible to detect and/or measure specific biological or physiological parameters. for diagnostic and monitoring purposes in healthcare.
What applications for data? The example of exoskeletons. Exoskeletons can also feed data into algorithmic programs for activating or deactivating phases of walking operating in real time and where AI intervenes to adapt these sequences to the patient's profile. Some recent developments, for example, make it possible to motorize orthoses in order to offer patients with gait disorders the possibility of getting up, walking and sitting. These intelligent motorizations, adapted to the patient's profile, process in real time the data provided by sensors placed on the walker's limbs using AI algorithms, to offer personalized motorized assistance.
Examples in aerospace. Some more recent developments in the aerospace sector aim to monitor the physiology of an astronaut in a constrained environment. Projects for undersuits worn next to the skin should make it possible to equip an astronaut for life in space, aboard an orbital station, a lunar habitat or extra-vehicular outings (EVA). These combinations could integrate systems for monitoring health parameters, energy management and connectivity, administration, activation, storage of medicinal solutions or even compression, restraint or massage solutions.
Thuasne in brief. At the crossroads of medicine, materials and digital technology, Thuasne creates and distributes medical devices. Present in 85 countries, Thuasne has 15 subsidiaries and 14 industrial sites in Europe and the United States. Thuasne is a member of R3iLab, the Network for Immaterial Innovation in Industry.

Biography: Né à Lyon en 1972, père de 3 enfants. Après des études scientifiques une formation ingénieurs Arts et Métiers donc des orientations plutôt mécaniques. Puis une première dizaine d’années d’expérience dans les domaines spatial, aéronautique et automobile au sein de Groupes tels que EADS, Dassault Aviation et surtout Renault. Rejoint l’ETI THUASNE en tant que responsable Innovation puis création de la Direction Innovation quelques années plus tard. Co-fondateur et responsable d’un Thuasne LAB en 2016 qui a pour mission de murir et proposer des POC autours des métiers de l’IoT applications médicales. Passionné de voyage et de plongée sous-marine je suis moniteur de plongée et d’apnée. |
